“Looking Through My Loupe”
THE TENNIS BRACELET… 💎🎾
NAMED After Tennis Champion CHRIS EVERT

It’s not often that a piece of jewelry is named for an accident, but such is the case with tennis bracelets.
Tennis bracelets got their unusual name from an incident involving Chris Evert during a US Open match in 1978, the year the tournament moved from Forest Hills to Flushing Meadows.
Chris had been wearing an expensive bracelet featuring an inline string of individually-set diamonds. When the clasp snapped, she asked the officials to stop the match until the jewelry could be found. When she walked off the court for her interview, she was asked about it, and matter-of-factly said, “Oh, that was my tennis bracelet.”

Since that day, bracelets featuring an inline array of diamonds have been called Tennis bracelets, and they are popular accessories for formal occasions due to their luster and sparkle.
