The name “tennis bracelet” is believed to originate from an incident involving Chris Evert, the American former world number one tennis player, during a US Open match in 1978.
The story is that Evert’s lucky diamond bracelet fell off her wrist during the game which made the athlete stop the match. She refused to continue until her precious talisman was found. After that, the name “tennis bracelet” stuck, forever linking this sleek piece of jewelry to the sport.

She even designed a tennis bracelet collection together with Monica Rich Kosann, incorporating her experience from that historical day. “I shared the things I remembered about that day at the US Open in 1978: the green court, the white lines, the dripping sweat of competition, and MY diamond bracelet”, — she shared on her Instagram.
