WHAT IS A TENNIS CHAIN?

A tennis chain is one of the most iconic jewelry pieces, known for its sleek and luxurious design. Whether worn alone or layered, this classic chain has become a staple in hip-hop jewelry and high-end fashion. At ICEVAULT, we offer premium-quality moissanite and diamond tennis chains designed for ultimate shine and durability. Here’s everything you need to know about this must-have accessory.

The Origin of the Tennis Chain

The term “tennis chain” comes from professional tennis player Chris Evert, who famously stopped a match in the 1987 U.S. Open when her diamond bracelet fell off. From that moment, the sleek, stone-set chain became widely known as a tennis bracelet. The same concept applies to tennis chains, which feature a continuous row of diamonds or gemstones set in a delicate yet strong metal chain.

Key Features of a Tennis Chain

• Continuous Row of Stones: Typically made with moissanite, lab diamonds, or natural diamonds.

• Metal Options: Available in gold (yellow, white, or rose) or sterling silver.

• Clasp Types: Uses a box clasp or lobster clasp for secure wear.
