💎 What is a Tennis Necklace?

A tennis necklace is a distinctive jewelry design in which diamonds are set in a continuous line, creating the illusion of light flowing seamlessly around the neck.

Known internationally as a “tennis necklace,” this style represents elegance in its purest and most powerful form.

✨ Why is it Called a “Tennis Necklace”?

The global name “tennis necklace” became popular thanks to Chris Evert.

During the 1987 US Open, the famous player’s diamond bracelet broke mid-match, causing the game to pause.

After this moment, this style of jewelry became widely known as the “tennis” design.
