As we leaf through the pages of the fashion and jewelry world, we come across pieces that have left a mark and transcend time and trends. One of these jewels, shining with timeless elegance, is the Riviera Bracelet, also known as the Tennis Bracelet. But what is the story behind this radiant piece and how did it gain the curious nickname of "Tennis Bracelet"?
Diamond Bracelet
The Riviera bracelet, with its magnificent display of diamonds, is a true masterpiece of contemporary jewelry. Its name, "Riviera," evokes images of elegance and sophistication by the seaside, said to be reminiscent of the famous coastal region of France, known for its luxury and elegance. There are also stories suggesting that its name was inspired by the resemblance between the color of the gemstones in the jewelry and the clear, crystalline waters of the world's most beautiful seas.
In the USA, this bracelet is known as the "Tennis Bracelet," following a curious episode involving a famous player, Chris Evert, and a memorable tennis match. Chris Evert swapped her traditional white wristbands for a delicate diamond bracelet, which shimmered as it reflected the sunlight while she played on the courts. It was during a match at the US Open in 1978 that the athlete interrupted the game to search for her bracelet that had fallen off and said, "I dropped my tennis bracelet."
