The Wimbledon Championships begin next week, running from Monday 29 June to Sunday 12 July, and alongside strawberries and cream, Champagne Lanson, and white outfits, the tennis bracelet has become a courtside staple. This classic jewellery piece is undeniably chic and trending ahead of the tournament.
What is a Tennis Bracelet?
Traditionally, a tennis bracelet features a continuous, symmetrical line of diamonds with a clasp fastening. Modern interpretations now incorporate coloured precious gemstones, two-tone metals, and varied diamond cuts—from round brilliants and bezel settings to heart-shaped stones. Popular jewellery brands like Missoma, Pandora, and Daisy London offer a wide range of styles.
Origin of the Tennis Bracelet
Tennis bracelets predate their association with the sport. Originally known as eternity or line bracelets, they were gifted as symbols of enduring love. The sporting connection came in 1987 when world number one Chris Evert halted play during the US Open after her diamond bracelet flew from her wrist and scattered across the court. The pause to search for pieces led to the style being named the tennis bracelet, sparking demand worldwide. However, the link goes back further: actress Farrah Fawcett was photographed wearing two slender diamond bracelets to a charity tennis match in the 1970s.
Celebrities Who Love Tennis Bracelets
Many tennis pros wear tennis bracelets or necklaces on court. Donna Vekić wore a tennis necklace during the 2025 Australian Open, Serena Williams wore a Harry Winston diamond tennis bracelet at the 2002 US Open, and Maria Sharapova loves stacking dainty wristwear. Off the court, Zendaya wore the style during the Challengers press tour, Meghan Markle is rumoured to love antique tennis bracelets, and Nicole Kidman has been spotted wearing one from the Royal Box. Men also embrace the trend, including Lenny Kravitz and Brooklyn Beckham.
