It is said that diamonds are made to last.
On the one hand, this may be true, because the gemstone itself is virtually indestructible: it is more stable than stone or steel, and all other materials can be scratched and ground with a diamond.
But of course you can always lose a diamond.
The piece of jewelery then no longer tells its own personal story forever.
In addition to the considerable financial damage, the loss is above all emotional.
This in turn leads to all sorts of bizarre stories that tell what people do to find a beloved piece of jewelry.
One of the most famous goes like this: Chris Evert, an American tennis player, owned a diamond bracelet that she had received from former professional gymnast George Bedewi.
In 1987, during a protracted game at the US Open, the clasp came loose - and the bracelet was lost on the field.
Evert did what any diamond lover would do at that moment: she asked that the game be stopped until the bracelet was found.
After it finally reappeared, Evert won the tournament.
Since then filigree bracelets with diamonds strung together have been called tennis bracelets.
Before they were simply called Eternity Bracelets.
After the incident, other famous tennis players such as Serena Williams wore similar diamond bracelets as a lucky charm to the match.
In the meantime, the tennis bracelet also has fans off the court.
Because it is minimalist, but also glamorous at the same time, it is suitable for all kinds of occasions.
And the addition “tennis” is no longer limited to just one jewelry category, but also describes necklaces, earrings and rings with a similar look.
