Stacks of gold on multi tone bracelets are very popular. I love the look.

37 and wear mine almost daily. My mom gave it to me at my wedding when I was 25. I love it. I’ve gone years without wearing it and then I fall in love with it again. It’s gold and white gold/ silver was more in style a decade ago.

It can look gaudy if I have too much on. But it makes a simple outfit look very classy.

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.

I played tennis as a kid, went to tennis camp, played in tournaments, etc., in the 70s. I remember the cool older girl players wore thin bracelets, usually several. I thought it looked amazing. I am not positive they included a diamond tennis bracelet but when they became popular, I assumed they had always been around, based on my experience. They definitely wore thin gold bracelets that were like a wire but a bit thicker (thicker than a chain but thinner than a bangle). It was a popular 70s style that you don't see anymore.

Just put it on your wrist and go? I wear mine every day.

I am 37 and just inherited a lovely tennis bracelet. is this still trendy? How to wear it without coming off flashy? I really would like to wear it as part of my daily look.

I wear one and so so many of my friends. We’re 34-36 years old.

Not unless it's 1984.

I attended this match. But I don’t think it was because of it falling off. I think the bracelet just became identified with CEL because she always wore it when playing. Besides the story is exaggerated—diamonds are beads on a string like pearls are, they’re set and attached and wouldn’t scatter.

I wear mine 24x7- it was a very meaningful gift to me and I love it.

I have a sapphire and diamond one that I wear most days

Not my personal style, I don’t really wear jewelry, but I think they are pretty enough. I prefer dainty ones for everyday wear, personally.

I just received a 3ct for my 33rd birthday. I love it, so elegant and pairs well with my other bracelets.
