Turquoise/Opal Tennis Bracelets
The famous tennis player Chris Everett is credited with the origin of the name “tennis bracelet�. She was well known for wearing diamond bracelets. During the 1987 U.S. Open, Everett lost her diamond bracelet while playing in a tennis match, and asked to stop the game while she crawled around on the tennis court looking for it. This incident became known as the “Tennis Bracelet� incident, which inspired a jewelry trend that remains in effect today.
The tennis bracelet is probably the most beautiful item of hand or wrist jewelry. It is a bracelet made up of individually set gemstones such as turquoise or opal, or diamonds that are linked together much like a chain. Because the gemstones span the entire length of the tennis bracelet, this piece of jewelry, such as our Turquoise Silver Tennis Bracelet, Opal 14K Gold Tennis Bracelet, or Turquoise and Opal Tennis bracelet, is beautiful when viewed at any angle. It’s also very flexible as it is created in a chainlike fashion.
Turquoise and Opal Tennis bracelets are created by using Sterling Silver or 14K Gold metals and inlaying small hand cut gemstones such as turquoise, coral, lapis, and opal to make beautiful designs. The Zuni are known for their inlaying techniques, while the Navajos are known for their mastery of silversmithing. This collection of Turquoise and Opal Tennis Bracelets features Turquoise Tennis Bracelets, Opal Tennis Bracelets, bracelets created with a combination of Turquoise and Opal gemstones. Most of our Turquoise and Opal Bracelets fit a wrist size between 5 ½� to 7 ½�. Please be sure to measure the circumference of your wrist with a tape measure before placing your order.
