tennis bracelet
tennis bracelet n. a flexible bracelet containing many small gems, typically diamonds, of uniform size and shape linked together in a narrow chain.The name is sometimes said to derive from an incident during a tennis match at the US Open in 1987, when a bracelet of this design worn by the player Chris Evert broke and she asked the officials to stop play in order to retrieve it. However, as evidence for the term predates 1987, it is more likely so named because the design of the bracelet makes it easy to wear while playing tennis.
