Jewellery Odyssey:
The tennis bracelet arose to prominence in the late 80’s, when a tennis player named Chris Evert wore a diamond row bracelet, which infamously came undone during her open match, at the US Tennis Championships. Evert called for the game to be suspended, until she found her diamond bracelet and ever since the concept of a tennis bracelet became a jewellery staple. Tennis bracelets, traditionally consists of a single row of diamonds. Nowadays, the variety of tennis bracelets can be endless, with the option of multiple rows and the alternative use of coloured gemstones.
Gem Lore:
Garnet - derives from the Latin word ‘garanatus’, which is translated to ‘seed-like’. The discovery of small red crystals bared a similar resemblance to pomegranate seeds. It is not widely known, that garnet can come in a rainbow of hues from red, orange, green and purple. However, red garnets are far more commonly seen with subtle overtones of purple, orange and golden brown. The gemstone has anciently been believed, to bring balance and harmony to the wearer.

These metals have properties that when in contact with oxygen, chemicals, oils or other substances - will result in a surface tarnish or damage and corrosion. Even the pH level of you skin and the natural oils it produces, can tarnish your gold jewellery.
