What is tennis jewelry?
Tennis jewelry refers to pieces characterized by a continuous, symmetrical row of uniformly sized stones. The stones, classically diamonds, are connected by a fine precious metal setting and generally feature the same color, shape, and size.
The best-known piece is the tennis bracelet, though tennis necklaces and pendants in the same design have also become well-established.
It is precisely this restrained, clear design that makes tennis jewelry so versatile. The pieces adapt to any style of clothing and work just as well for everyday life as they do for festive occasions.
Simple, elegant, and timeless: tennis jewelry is one of the true classics of the jewelry world.
Where does the name tennis bracelet come from?
According to legend, the tennis bracelet owes its name to a curious incident at the 1987 US Open.
American tennis legend Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet during a match and insisted on pausing the game until the piece was found.
The search was broadcast live on television and garnered worldwide attention.
Since then, delicate bracelets featuring a row of diamonds, also known as eternity bracelets, have been referred to as tennis bracelets.
Because a broken clasp was the cause of the loss, goldsmiths subsequently developed particularly robust clasps that can withstand movement.
Thus, a sporty anecdote became a permanent fixture in many jewelry boxes.
Tennis jewelry at Feichtinger
Whether as a first sparkling favorite piece or an investment for generations.
At Feichtinger, you can find tennis jewelry in 10k (417) and 14k (585) gold, as well as 925 sterling silver, set with cubic zirconia, natural diamonds, or lab-grown diamonds.
Tennis bracelets
The tennis bracelet is the epitome of timeless elegance. White gold models with brilliant-cut diamonds embody the classic in its purest form, while colored stones add deliberate accents.
We are particularly fond of tennis bracelets featuring lab-grown diamonds in TW/VS quality, which combine genuine diamond brilliance with a more attractive price point.
We also offer tennis bracelets featuring lab-grown diamonds. These are real diamonds with the same properties as natural stones, but they are created in a lab rather than over millions of years in the earth. As a result, tennis bracelets and necklaces sparkle with the full brilliance of diamonds while remaining more attractively priced.
Tennis jewelry made of 925 sterling silver
Timeless elegance begins in our silver range. Tennis jewelry made of 925 sterling silver with cubic zirconia offers the characteristic shine of the classic design at an attractive entry-level price, making it ideal as the first piece of a growing collection or as a sparkling accessory for summer looks.
Tennis necklaces
The tennis necklace brings this iconic design to your neckline.
An unbroken row of sparkling stones, precisely set and comfortable to wear. Whether as a statement piece with an evening gown or as a sophisticated companion for everyday wear, a tennis necklace from our collection adds quiet confidence to any look.
Tennis rings and earrings
If you want to complete the iconic look, you will also find tennis rings and matching earrings in our collection.
The tennis ring brings the continuous row of stones to your hand and is wonderful as a sparkling stacking ring, while our tennis-style hoop and stud earrings frame the face. Paired as a set with a bracelet and necklace, they create a harmonious overall look that is perfect for everything from everyday wear to special occasions.
Styling: How to combine tennis jewelry
Worn solo as a statement
A tennis bracelet needs no accompaniment. Worn as a single piece, it impresses with just the right amount of sparkle and sophistication, making it excellent for formal occasions, from business meetings to weddings.
Layering and combination
For a more eye-catching look, wear two or more tennis bracelets stacked. A mix of yellow gold and white gold creates a modern aesthetic. The interplay between a tennis necklace, a tennis bracelet, and simple stud earrings also creates a harmonious look, as the pieces highlight one another without competing.
Tennis bracelet and watch
Tennis bracelets pair wonderfully with a watch on the same wrist. A delicate watch in the same metal tone creates a coherent, elegant look. Conversely, combining a sporty watch with a sparkling tennis bracelet creates a deliberate style contrast with a modern feel.
The right fit: What matters
A tennis bracelet should sit loosely and comfortably on the wrist without sliding around.
A proven test: if you can fit one finger between your wrist and the bracelet, the piece fits correctly. If it is too loose, there is a risk of losing it. In most cases, the length can be adjusted without difficulty.
Tennis jewelry as a gift
Whether for a birthday, anniversary, or Christmas, tennis jewelry is a gift that suits any style and provides joy for decades. The robust craftsmanship and timeless design make tennis bracelets and necklaces an investment that can span generations.
FAQ
Can you wear a tennis bracelet every day?
Yes. Thanks to its subtle design and robust construction, a tennis bracelet is excellent for everyday wear. It is recommended to remove the piece during physical labor or sports.
How should a tennis bracelet fit?
Loose, but secure. As a rule of thumb: one finger should fit between the wrist and the bracelet. Resizing is generally possible.
What is the difference between cubic zirconia, lab-grown diamonds, and natural diamonds?
The three options differ primarily in origin, characteristics, and price.
- Cubic zirconia is a synthetic stone and the most affordable option.
- Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created in a lab with identical properties to natural diamonds, but at a lower price.
- Natural diamonds have formed over millions of years and are considered the most classic choice.
Why is it called a tennis bracelet?
The name stems from tennis player Chris Evert, who lost her diamond bracelet during a match and requested to pause the game. Since then, this style of bracelet has carried its sporty name.
