Tennis Bracelet
The in-line thin diamond bracelet that features a symmetrical pattern of diamonds is called a tennis bracelet. According to Diamond Bug, in 1987 Chris Evert, the former World No. 1 woman tennis player and the winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, was playing in the U.S. Open. She was wearing an elegant, light in-line diamond bracelet, which accidentally broke and the match was interrupted 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. Tennis bracelets continued to be worn by various tennis stars like Serena Williams and Gabriela Sabatini.

I don't know because I would not. I repeat would NOT wear a diamond set in white gold or platinum braclet, or any other rendition of a tennis bracelet, while playing tennis. No ah ah.

In my mind, I was picturing it that you could wear a bracelet like this even if you were playing tennis, and you could not wear, say, a bangle-type bracelet.
