The 1987 U.S. Open of course. The world class professional tennis player Evert was in the midst of a highly competitive match during which her string diamonds fell off her wrist, prompting the champion to request a pause for play so she could look for jewels. From then on, the name tennis bracelet was tied to Evert.

Though some jewelry fanatics maintain that this term was coined in 1987—when the incident occurred—there is evidence to suggest that perhaps it was related to Evert's choice to don the piece in the '70s. The popularizing of a low-key luxury item also falls in line with the general fashion shift of the era.

^I think this because I graduated HS in 88 and I remember the tennis bracelet being popular prior to 1987.

There seems to be a resurgence in popularity of tennis bracelets.

Yes. I have one with pave diamonds. Love it. It's very understated and elegant.

Yes - they're actually very popular now.

yes they do and tennis necklaces

Not when they're playing tennis -- unless they're like over 75 and named Muffin. Which can be totally cool if that's the look you're going for.

Do people still wear tennis bracelets?
