BORN 1978
FINALLY AUTHENTIC
In 1978, Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet during a U.S. Open match.
Play was temporarily halted.
The idea of the Tennis Bracelet was born, and it became a part of our fine jewelry lexicon. For decades, Chris has not been part of merging this origin story to a Tennis Bracelet Collection.

In the category of iconic fine jewelry styles, the tennis bracelet has emerged over the past four decades as a widely recognized classic. Early in her career, Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet while playing at the US Open, and what in earlier times was often referred to as a diamond line or eternity bracelet, soon became more popularly referred to as the tennis bracelet. %expanded-mobile% %expanded-desktop%And maybe more precisely as the diamond tennis bracelet. These women’s tennis bracelets were most commonly offered in gold and given the flexible nature of the individual components of each bracelet, gold was the right choice of metal for strength and durability. Over time the style of the tennis bracelet has evolved, ranging from a bracelet of larger diamonds to more petite and varied stone shapes and sizes. Many might recognize the white gold tennis bracelet as a true classic. Maybe it's the notion of tennis whites, or more simply the ease with which a white gold tennis bracelet can complement one's engagement ring or other bridal jewelry that is white gold or platinum. Worn alone on the wrist, a woman's diamond tennis bracelet is a simple but elegant statement, but at the same time it can be one of the simplest complements to ones watch or other bracelets when worn together or in stacked layers. We created the Tennis Bracelet-CE collection in collaboration with Chris Evert. The collection is offered in a variety of styles and price points from 18k white and yellow gold tennis bracelets to those available in sterling silver and steel. The silver tennis bracelets are the most accessible styles in the collection and feature white sapphires and rock crystal.

Tennis Bracelet CE FAQs
At Monica Rich Kosann, our tennis bracelet collection was born from a very specific moment in time inspired by Chris Evert’s legendary match when the original “tennis bracelet” became part of history. We created the collection in collaboration with Chris Evert so by choosing one of our styles, you are selecting a piece that is truly part of the Authentic origin story.
Each design reflects that heritage, from emerald “green court” settings to white diamond “lines of play,” and a signature pear-shaped diamond dripping with movement. Choose a piece that doesn’t just sparkle, but one that’s Finally Authentic™ and part of your story.
Wear your tennis bracelet solo for a stand-alone moment, or stack it with bangles, a watch, and cuffs for a layered look. Tennis bracelets transition seamlessly from day to night, casual to formal. It’s the kind of piece you never need—or want—to take off. When your bracelet is on your wrist it should move naturally, almost like a second skin.
While Monica Rich Kosann designs pieces for everyday wear, it’s never a bad idea to remove your tennis bracelet before showering. Soaps, shampoos, and hard water can dull the shine over time. To preserve its sparkle and integrity, remove it during bathing, swimming, or heavy activity—your bracelet will thank you.
There’s no single “should.” It comes down to your style and how you plan to wear it. Gold offers warmth and usually pairs nicely with heirloom pieces. Silver is great for those who favor cooler tones. Let the metal reflect your personal story.
