If you know jewellery, you know the tennis bracelet. Classic yet effortless, sophisticated yet easy to wear. It moves through wardrobes and decades with quiet confidence, just at home with an evening gown as it is with the swish of a tennis skirt. At Cullen, the tennis bracelet has our full attention – and our craftsmanship. Each one is engineered for comfort, balance, and brilliance, designed to move fluidly with you, catching light wherever you go.
A Love Affair With Tennis
Ever wondered why it’s called a tennis bracelet? The story goes back to the late 1970s, when world number one Chris Evert paused a high-stakes match to collect the diamonds that had slipped from her wrist mid-game. The bracelet – a sleek line of stones by jeweller George Bedewi – became an instant icon. That moment of grace under pressure turned a classic diamond line bracelet into what we now know as the tennis bracelet – a symbol of elegance and strength both on and off the court.

Since then, it’s been spotted everywhere from the U.S. Open to red carpets. Serena Williams wore a Harry Winston “Twelve to Twilight” bracelet during her 2002 US Open run, while Maria Sharapova’s stacked versions helped redefine courtside luxury. More recently, Donna Vekić paired a tennis necklace with fine diamond bracelets at the 2025 Australian Open – proof that the legacy lives on.
Closer to Home
At Cullen, the tennis bracelet is an exercise in craft and precision – spotlighting carbon-neutral diamonds, craftsmanship, and considered design.
The Classic 4 Claw Tennis Bracelet
Cullen’s take on timelessness. Each diamond is held in a refined four-claw setting that sits low and flush against the wrist – designed for movement, engineered for balance. The minimal metalwork lets the stones do what they do best: create that seamless line of light that defines a true tennis bracelet. A custom hidden clasp completes the piece, invisible yet integral – a quiet mark of craftsmanship.
The Bezel Tennis Bracelet
If the Classic is about being timeless, the Bezel is about character. Inspired by mid-century design, each diamond is framed in a smooth halo of gold – protective, tactile, and softly vintage. The result is a bracelet that feels both modern and nostalgic, designed to stack or stand alone with equal ease.
For the Modern Collector
From Chris Evert’s serve to today’s red carpets, the tennis bracelet has always balanced power with grace. At Cullen, we craft each one with that same spirit – refined, enduring, and made to move with you.
