New diamonds please — the invention of the tennis bracelet
Summer is the season for tennis with its green lawns and strawberries and cream. And if rain happens to pause your Wimbledon viewing, why not take a moment to consider your sporting jewellery? Tennis bracelets are a classic option — slim lines of gemstones to wear on tanned tennis-playing arms. According to a 1923 advert for 'Bracelets for bare arms' — 'when fashion dictates the short sleeve, it is a good opportunity to display a dainty bracelet'. Line or eternity bracelets became inseparable from tennis in 1978 when Chris Evert's diamond bracelet fell off during a match, halting play while it was retrieved. When she was asked what had caused the delay, she explained, 'It was my tennis bracelet', giving the jewel its new name. This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue The classic line bracelet, now marketable as a tennis bracelet, took off in style. In 2022 Evert collaborated on a modern line of tennis bracelets with the jeweller Monica Rich Kosann. One design joined different diamond cuts to represent the white lines of the court with a rectangular green emerald or tsavorite for the grass. A diamond drop adds a glamorous representation of the player's sweat (£800 to £20,000, Cartier's current version of the tennis bracelet can be found in its Essential Lines range, including a pretty example with alternating diamonds and sapphires (from £26,000, Boodles' tennis bracelet features a diamond and gold ball attached to a line of diamonds (£13,000, while Tiffany's Victoria collection has a little floral detail, forming the clasp (£20,500) or encircling the wrist (£56,500, Chris Evert wasn't the first to connect tennis and jewellery. In July 1877, The Times noted that lawn tennis was 'the most recent pastime which has lately been adopted as an outdoor amusement'. Tennis became the sport of choice for fun-seeking young Victorians and 1920s flappers. Not only did it offer the pleasures of exercise and competition, it was also a way for young people to socialise in mixed-sex groups, with the appropriate clothes and jewels. Many a love affair or marriage started on the tennis court. Tennis players and fans could buy racket-shaped brooches decorated with jewelled balls or charm bracelets with tennis-themed accessories to show off their hobby. In 1893, the Fleetwood Chronicle's list of Christmas jewellery for men stated that 'the latest cufflinks have each side of a totally different design; for instance, a jockey cap is combined with a whip, a horse shoe to a hunting crop, a tennis racquet to a ball, all highly appropriate if presented to lovers of the various sports thereof'. Fans of vintage jewellery could look out for Tiffany's green and white enamel cufflinks with racket detail or tennis rackets set with diamond balls, originally retailed by Hennells of Bond Street. Sport has been an inspiration to fashion designers from the early 20th century. Coco Chanel's beach wear and comfortable sports inspired clothes turned away from the corsets and laces of the prewar years and caused a sensation. The New York Herald, June 4, 1916, claimed they were 'so smart that the women must have them at all costs'. Chanel continued to explore sporting fashions in their 2024 Haute Joaillerie Sport collection with clean graphic lines united to fabulous coloured gemstones. Aluminium tube chains become necklaces and snap hooks turn into sporty brooches. Yachting is also a summer pleasure, both a sport and a social occasion, particularly at competitions such as the Cowes races. Yacht owners and visiting sailors in the early 20th century liked to wear little pins and brooches in the shape of the triangular burgee flag. Colour could be added through enamel or gemstones. Nautical styles appealed to the British royal family, especially Edward VII, Queen Victoria's society-loving oldest son. Jewellers like Cartier and Fabergé created fantastic nautical jewels, like a lifebelt-shaped brooch enamelled with the name of the Russian Imperial yacht and an iconic egg with a model of the Standart Yacht. Nautical jewellery was also available for less exalted wearers. The Daily Mirror told its readers in August 1912 that 'few people living on board a yacht go away without purchasing some piece of yachting jewellery. […] Bangles adorned with little jewels and enamelled port and starboard lamps are one of this year's novelties, and jewelled burgees set in circles of diamonds are also to be seen'. Benzie of Cowes has supplied these yachting novelties since 1862 and continues to do so. In the 1960s and 70s, Cartier took inspiration from naval life with its gold anchor-shaped brooches and chains shaped like the links of an anchor chain. A 1960s Bulgari necklace used a fully functional carabiner to connect golden links of ship's chain. Messages at sea, before the invention of direct ship to ship communication, were transmitted through a system of flags. This nautical language was deployed to send jewelled messages of affection or to spell out the initials or name of the wearer. But, caution was required, according to a newspaper of 1895, which warned its readers that the flag brooch or bracelet might convey an unexpected message, noting that — 'one sees a saucy little brooch with three flags, which to the yachting man plainly says 'come alongside'.' Perhaps not quite the intention of the wearer. Golf offered the same opportunities for socialising and stylish dressing as tennis and also inspired jewelled accessories. Golf-themed jewellery was particularly popular around the end of the 19th century, with tie pins and brooches in the shape of niblicks, drivers, golf bags and balls, sometimes enamelled with the apt motto 'Far and Sure'. Today Aspinal of London has a range of sterling silver sport-themed cufflinks, including these featuring a little golf bag (£220, Sport offers healthy exercise, a feeling of independence, freedom to socialise and even the opportunity for romance, but through history, it has also inspired jewellery firms to create the perfect themed objects for their customers.

Lily Allen and James Norton 'share a backstage snog as they party with Charli XCX after enjoying an unlikely first date at her Lido Festival show'
They've surprised fans by enjoying a first date after meeting on the celebrity dating app Raya. And it appears that Lily Allen and James Norton made the most of their first outing, with the pair reportedly seen snogging backstage while attending Charli XCX's Lido Festival show on Saturday. The singer, 40, and actor, 39, were pictured cosying up to one another and sipping on non-alcoholic beers as they watched Charli's show in the capital, before heading to a backstage compound to party with the singer. A source told The Sun: 'James and Lily looked very into each other and they were snogging backstage. 'We were all quite surprised to see them there together, let alone kissing. 'I don't think they've even known each other that long, but it was a fun hang-out backstage and they got taken away by the vibe.' Lily ended her marriage to Stranger Things star husband David Harbour, 50, in December 2024 after four years of marriage, following her discovery he had a secret profile on Raya. Meanwhile James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith, 26, last month before being spotted back on the star-studded dating site. Raya is so exclusive that it accepts only around eight per cent of applicants, but it has more than 10,000 members, with 100,000 on the waiting list. James' Raya profile is said to feature photos of the Happy Valley star with a shaved head – a dramatic new look he's adopted for his upcoming role in Sunny Dancer, currently being filmed in Scotland with co-star Bella Ramsey. The hunk, who is a strong contender to be the next James Bond, started dating Charlotte late last year and was pictured out with her on several occasions. At the time, an insider told The Sun: 'They have been enjoying dates and seem very happy together. 'It has been a year since his relationship with [ex Imogen Potts] ended and he appears to get on so well with Charlotte. They make a lovely couple.' Not long before Lily split from husband David, she turned amateur sleuth after speculating that David had 'cheated' on the same dating app where they met. Meanwhile James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith (pictured) last month and was also spotted back on the exclusive dating site. She was left in 'agony' when she allegedly discovered the actor had a secret profile, The Mail on Sunday revealed. The pop star joined the app herself, pretending to be 'looking for women' – and allegedly found that David had already set up a dating profile. He was reportedly listed on the app as being active for at least a month. Once users find a new partner, they usually disable their profiles. A source said: 'Lily was looking for women that were on Raya and cross-referencing them with women David follows on Instagram to try to figure out who he was seeing. She was doing her Wagatha thing. 'Lily only rejoined Raya to try to figure out whether he was seeing someone. 'Lily has never even looked at anyone since she met David. She is devastated. He broke up with Lily a month ago. 'He was meant to be on holiday with her in Kenya over Christmas.' David's alleged dating profile, exclusively revealed by the Mail on Sunday, read: 'Visiting New York from Atlanta' and 'closet nerd that plays tough guys on your TV'. It also described him as living in Atlanta, Georgia, 800 miles from the family home in Brooklyn, New York, where the couple moved in 2020, with Lily enrolling her children in local schools. He bought a house in Atlanta last year to be closer to the Stranger Things set as the show was filming its fifth and final series. Lily's circle of London friends said she had suspected for some time that her husband was interested in other women. By the time the couple broke up, she had become convinced that he had a secret girlfriend.

Stephen Fry gives an insight into his 'emotionally violent' stint on Celebrity Traitors
Stephen Fry gave an insight into his 'emotionally violent' stint on Celebrity Traitors this week. Celebrity Traitors will once again be hosted by Claudia Winkleman with the line-up of contestants making their way to Ardross Castle to kick off filming. The comedian, 67, likened his time on the series to 'a Chinese foot massage' as he praised the programme. Speaking on The Show People podcast, Stephen explained: 'It was a bit like a Chinese foot massage. You know it is absolutely agony but you sort of want to do it again. It is emotionally violent but you kind of love it. 'Obviously, I can't say a word about what is in this recently recorded celebrity version I suppose. I am certainly not telling you if I am a traitor or a faithful. I am one or the other. 'I have said no to any number of Strictlys and Get Me Out of Heres as it is just not my kind of thing. But this, I watched the first and second series and it is such a clever game.' He added: 'It's so extraordinary what it does to the psychology of the individual. And I just thought it would be really interesting to play it. And what an opportunity to do so. And that's what I found.' The celebrities who will transform into Traitors and Faithfuls include a variety of actors; Stephen, Ruth Codd, Celia Imrie, Tameka Empson and Mark Bonnar. Comedians Alan Carr, Nick Mohammed, Joe Wilkinson and Lucy Beaumont will also take part, joining singers Paloma Faith, Cat Burns and Charlotte Church. Also confirmed for the show are presenters Jonathan Ross, Clare Balding and Kate Garraway, Olympic diver Tom Daley, rugby player Joe Marler, historian and writer David Olusoga and YouTuber Niko Omilana. Missing from the confirmed line-up was actress and comedian Jennifer Saunders, who was heavily rumoured to be taking part. Comedian Lucy became the last star to sign up for the show on Monday following her shock split from fellow comedian Jon Richardson. The Award-winning funny woman, 40, is said to be keen to 'make more of a name for herself' with audiences and will be heading off to the show's Scottish castle to begin filming within the next few days. A source told The Sun: 'Lucy is a massive fan of the show and is so excited about getting stuck in at Ardross Castle.' They added: 'After her split from Jon, she has been working really hard to make more of a name for herself and Celebrity Traitors is the ideal opportunity.' MailOnline have contacted Lucy's reps and BBC for comment. As excitement increases for the Celebrity Traitors, BBC bosses took extra precautions to keep the cast under wraps ahead of its reveal, following a series of leaks. According to The Sun, executives put in place a military-style operation to transport the all-star cast to Ardross Castle. Instead of flying into Inverness Airport from their homes across the globe, the celebrities will travel by several means including rail, air, car, and boat. And a no-fly zone is officially in place over host Claudia 's Highlands HQ to stop drone photographers from securing any images. A source told the publication: 'For a show with secrecy and shocking plot twists at its heart, navigating the celebrity version has been a real puzzler. 'Casting the likes of TV presenter Kate Garraway, former rugby star Joe Marler, and singer Paloma Faith creates a situation which is a lot more open to leaks and gossip than recruiting a call centre manager from Liverpool or a retired opera singer. 'So execs have worked really hard to lock down every inch of the production.' The source added that instead of a simple travel process, celebrities will arrive via various methods of transport. The source also claimed that a no-fly zone has already been put in place to stop any preparations from being snapped. A spokesperson for the BBC declined to comment.
