Vintage Tennis Bracelet with 3.30 ct Diamonds in White Gold, c. 1980s

Do you know why bracelets like this one are called “tennis bracelets”? The name became famous when tennis player Chris Evert lost her diamond-studded rivière bracelet during a match at the U.S. Open. The match was even paused so she could put her beloved piece of jewellery back on. From that moment on, the sparkling bracelet has borne the name “tennis bracelet”—a name it’s known by to this day—and has thus made jewelry history. Previously, they were referred to as Rivière bracelets. The French word means “river” and describes the evenly flowing brilliance of the diamonds. Thanks to flexible connecting links—usually crafted in white gold—the individually set gemstones gently nestle against the wrist, where they reveal their harmonious sparkle. This vintage tennis bracelet from the 1980s is a true statement piece. Along its length, 49 pure-white brilliant-cut diamonds of very fine quality are strung together, weighing a total of 3.30 carats. The diamonds are evenly set and exhibit the highest brilliance. They seem to float almost weightlessly in their simple settings. This luxurious bracelet, which found its way to us here in Berlin, is in excellent condition and is a timeless classic for the wrist.
