From the courts to the streets, jewellery expert reveals how tennis bracelets are shaping everyday fashion.
Tennis has inspired fashion for years, and since Wimbledon began on July 1st, searches for tennis jewellery is on the rise. In fact, research by jewellery brand PRYA shows that searches for ‘ladies tennis bracelets’ are up over 5000% on Google over the past 30 days, proving that style on the courts is still very much prevalent in everyday fashion to this day.
Tennis bracelets are significant not only for their beauty but also for their historical context and modern-day relevance. They represent a blend of athleticism and elegance, embodying both the strength and delicate charm of those who wear them. Whether gifted to mark a special occasion or purchased as a personal treat, tennis bracelets hold sentimental value to everyone who wears them.
Arwa Hassan, in-house style director at PRYA said, “Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, is representative of tradition, excellence, and timeless style. Just as Wimbledon has set the standard for tennis, tennis bracelets have set the standard for elegance when it comes to jewellery, which explains the sudden surge in searches for tennis bracelets.
“The term “tennis bracelet” refers to a classic and elegant style of bracelet featuring a continuous line of diamonds or other precious gemstones. They were originally known as “line bracelets” due to their design of a continuous row of diamonds or gemstones set in a metal frame but were soon changed to tennis bracelets’ when American tennis star Chris Evert wore one of the bracelets which fell off on the pitch. She then paused the match to find the bracelet. Now tennis star Serena Williams is regularly seen wearing one during her matches.
“The bracelets are practical and comfortable, meaning the flexibility allows for everyday use. They were originally seen with the fanciest dresses for elaborate events, but after Chris wore hers on the pitch, the new found versatility meant that people can now wear them as an everyday staple.
“It’s no surprise that they’re trending in 2024 as the thin and delicate look fits perfectly with the quiet luxury aesthetic that continues to dominate. Now, they’re often seen as popular gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and milestones.”
If you want to channel your inner Chris Evert or Serena Williams this summer, style experts from Jewellery brand PRYA have put together a guide of incorporating tennis bracelets into your everyday looks.
