Tennis Bracelets

A tennis bracelet is a classic piece of jewellery featuring a continuous line of diamonds or gemstones set in a flexible, elegant band. Its name originates from an incident where tennis player Chris Evert lost her bracelet during a match, causing a pause while she searched for it. Since then, this style has been known as the "tennis bracelet".

Yes, tennis bracelets are designed with flexibility and durability in mind, making them suitable for everyday wear. Many styles feature secure clasps to prevent loss. However, it's recommended to check the settings regularly and avoid exposing the bracelet to harsh chemicals to ensure its longevity.

Tennis bracelets are typically crafted from precious metals such as yellow gold, white gold, silver, and platinum, and they often feature diamonds.

The ideal fit for a tennis bracelet allows a small amount of movement, so it isn’t too tight but doesn’t slip off the wrist. To measure, wrap a tape measure around your wrist and add around half an inch for comfort.

To clean a tennis bracelet, soak it in a bowl of warm, soapy water for a few minutes. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the stones and metal. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the metal or stones.

Yes, most tennis bracelets can be resized. However, the ability to resize may depend on the bracelet's design and metal type. Resizing often involves adding or removing links. Visit a Chisholm Hunter store to consult with an expert for the best solution.
