Cheap Tennis Bracelets for Men and Women on Sale

Most women love jewelry and tennis bracelets are no exception as they feature a simple but elegant design that can be worn with a wide variety of clothes. This classic was originally referred to as an in line diamond bracelet.  Now they often feature not only diamonds but other precious and semi-precious stones such as, garnets, blue topaz, aquamarine or even cubic zircona. Black diamond or ruby designs incorporating white gold can be difficult to find for sale very cheap except through wholesale outlets, while some of the other stones are found in abundance. Many name brand designers have reworked the style of this timeless classic to create relatively inexpensive but beautiful jewelry which may be showcased with coordinating necklaces or earrings.

Tennis bracelets received their name in 1987 after Chris Evert had hers break while playing at the U.S. Open and had to ask to have the game paused while she searched for the diamonds which had fallen from her wrist. These elegant and thin bands do not feature charms and are generally just a thin band or chain of white gold or gold combined with evenly spaced stones. The sterling silver or gold may consist of nothing more than a simple chain or it may be decorative in its own right, with sinewy curves or several fine twists. The stones can be placed at any distance around the wrist, with the traditional style placing the settings close together, possibly even hiding the metal.

The cost of a tennis bracelet varies widely according to the stones used, the number of them and the type of metal used. A diamond, black diamond or ruby bracelet on a gold or white gold chain will cost considerably more than garnets placed on sterling silver. This elegant and beautiful jewelry is always a welcome gift for women or older girls. As wrist sizes vary tremendously it is important that they fit well. Larger sizes may be reduced, however it is usually easier to buy one that fits correctly, leaving a small gap. They are equally appropriate during the day, even at work as when going out at night. Choosing a design with a secure safety clasp, regardless of the overall price, or having one added will help avoid the pitfalls of losing a stunning tennis bracelet or having it break.
