Tennis Necklace

A tennis necklace displays a seamless strand of diamonds that surrounds the entire neckline. Alternatives with a lower price point exist on the market as well, featuring gems like cubic zirconia.
These necklaces can be fashioned with either dainty or large, statement diamond stones. The term “tennis necklace” finds its origin in the 1987 US Open, during which renowned tennis player Chris Evert misplaced her diamond-adorned chain in the middle of the match.
Evert requested a brief pause in the game to search for her valuable jewelry piece. In addition to necklaces, the term ‘tennis’ also describes types of bracelets that feature diamonds in a single row around the wrist.
