History of Tennis Chains 

You might wonder as to How the Tennis chain got its name? There’s a very interesting story behind its name. 

So it all started during the famous Tennis match of Christ Evert where her diamond bracelet broke during the match. Christ Evert immediately stopped the match until her diamond bracelet was recovered. Since then, these Diamond bracelets got the name of Tennis bracelets and similarly, diamond chains were called Tennis chains.

Quality of tennis chain

 

The quality of the tennis chain can be assessed by the following aspects:-

 

Color
The color of the tennis chain can give you information about the quality of the diamonds used in the tennis chain.

 

Clarity
Clarity is another aspect that can be considered for the quality of the tennis chain. Usually, clear diamonds are more costly than the fogged diamonds, thus increasing quality as well as the quality of the diamond But you need to be extremely careful while assessing the tennis chain for clarity, as it is not visible to the naked eye. 

The uniformity of the diamonds is important for the chains to be perfect; nobody likes patchwork for the expensive chain.

 

Structure of the tennis chain

How diamonds are set in the tennis chain plays an important role in keeping the chain intact. The chains come in various designs and one can choose the structure according to one’s preference. These points should be kept in mind while selecting the structure of the tennis chain-

 

Links- The links of the chain should be sturdy and should not break easily even if the chain is pulled hard. 

 

Clasps- The clasps of the chain should be checked thoroughly and it should not open easily because if it does, then there are high chances that the chain may fall off unknowingly. Clasps should be robust so that they can give you extra-strength for your expensive chains.

 

Flexibility- Flexibility is another important factor that should be kept in mind while choosing the tennis chain, because if it is too rigid then the tennis chain can break easily whenever you twist it.

 

Material chosen for making the tennis chain

 

The material that is used for making the tennis chain, will affect two main things- 

Price and the durability of your tennis chain. 

Choosing the right metal for your tennis chain is necessary. You can choose from a wide range of metals such as yellow gold, silver, white gold, platinum, etc. 

If you want a tennis chain that you want to wear for everyday use then, Yellow gold, and silver are very good options as they are good and affordable. The only problem with these materials is that they are softer and will wear down faster, as compared to platinum. 

 

Using Platinum is a very good option for tennis chains, as they are more durable and won’t wear out even after wearing it daily. But this metal is a bit costly.

 

White gold is the best option here if you want to wear something affordable as well as durable. White gold is more durable than yellow gold and less expensive than platinum, thus making it the budget segment killer.

 

Choosing the perfect chain size 

 

Now we are done with choosing the quality as well as the structure of the tennis chain. The only thing that is left now, is to choose the perfect chain size. Tennis chains can be adjusted in or various sizes. Usually, tennis chains come in 17 or 18 inches in length. These can be worn in almost any kind of neckline. You can choose the size according to your requirements. These tennis chains can be easily adjusted with the help of the links available on the chain. Shorten it or opt for a longer chain according to your fashion soul and outfit.

 

Perfect occasion to buy tennis chain?

 

A tennis chain can be a perfect gift for you and your loved ones. The best thing about these tennis chains is that they come in many different styles. These chains are passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms or keepsakes.

Some of the special occasions include wedding anniversary, wedding day gift, birthday, valentine’s day or just to celebrate reaching any milestone in your life.

Tennis chains provide a dazzling style to your style quotient. Any woman or man can’t resist this classic piece of jewelry. This chain is all about quality and elegant simplicity. 

This fabulous piece can be styled with a deep V-neck and halter style neckline. It also suits the crew neck style and goes well with the solid color tops.
