General knowledge: It’s good to have it…
Why? Well, you never know when you’re going to need to impress someone at a little soiree with your instant explanation of the origin of the Tennis Bracelet.
So why is a Tennis Bracelet called a Tennis Bracelet?
If you were in the market of buying a tennis bracelet, before you pop in at Uwe Koetter, you might want to know the background of this iconic piece of jewellery. So let us clarify this for you:
Chris Evert was a tennis star during the 70’s, see? She would wear this particular style of bracelet whilst on the court. In truth, she took this accessory very seriously, possibly even viewing it as a sort of lucky-charm. She was known to halt an entire tennis match on one occasion when her bracelet slipped off and refused to recommence the match until the precious circle of diamonds had been relocated.
So there you have it: You officially learnt something new today.
