The modern tennis bracelet is almost a complete redesign from its conception look. “We initially started with impossibly delicate, very stackable tennis bracelets,” fine jewelry designer Eva Zuckerman explained to The Zoe Report. “We then transitioned into slightly chunkier pieces with unexpected colors like black and grey diamonds and blackened metal. I have played with inverting diamonds and experimenting with scale as a way of toughening tennis bracelets up to suit my customer.”
This contemporary style throws the traditional out of the window. It embraces all gemstones. While the glass diamonds are timeless and neutral pieces, who can resist the beauty of stained glass? Ruby, emerald, sapphire, pearl, or whatever your heart desires can line your wrist for a beautiful and delicate look. Plus, those identical square stones come with more personality this time. Elevate your tenniscore fashion with pear, teardrop, round, oval, marquise, heart, or princess-cut gems.
The same goes for the metals used for its setting. Silver and gold don’t run the show anymore. Colorful metals like rose gold are a popular choice for spicing things up. The metal setting isn’t even supposed to show for the original tennis bracelet, but now you can find pieces that showcase the chain links for an even more dainty and timeless look. Styling these trendy wristlets is where the fun begins.
