     Terminology History:  Apparently in 1987 Chris Evert, the former #1 World's Women tennis player and the winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, was playing in the U.S. Open. She was wearing an elegant, light diamond bracelet, which accidentally broke and the match was halted to allow Chris to recover her precious diamonds. The 'tennis bracelet' incident sparked a new name for the item and sparked a huge jewelry trend.
