Tennis Necklaces
A tennis necklace is an unbroken line of stones set link after link in solid gold — the same continuous sparkle whether you’re dressing up a blazer or a T-shirt. Our collection is available in 14K and 18K solid gold with a choice of lab-grown diamonds, moissanite. Every stone is individually prong- or bezel-set by hand for a seamless line that holds up to everyday wear.

How to Choose the Right Tennis Necklace
Tennis vs. riviera — know the difference. True tennis necklaces feature stones of the same size and shape running the full length of the chain. Riviera necklaces look similar but graduate from a larger center stone down to smaller ones toward the clasp. If every review photo looks "off" from what you pictured, this is usually why — check the product description for which style you're getting.
Pick your stone. Lab-grown diamonds offer the most brilliance and value-for-carat, moissanite delivers similar fire at a lower price point, and cubic zirconia is the most budget-friendly option for everyday layering pieces. All three can be set identically in solid gold, so the choice comes down to sparkle, durability, and budget rather than design.
Match metal to skin tone and existing jewelry. 14K gold is more durable for daily wear; 18K has a richer color but is slightly softer. Yellow, white, and rose gold are all available across our tennis styles — choose what complements the pieces you already stack.
Get the length right. 14–16 inches sits close to the collarbone for a classic look; 17–18 inches drapes just below it and layers well with pendants; 20+ inches suits larger frames or men's styles. If you're between sizes, sizing up gives more flexibility for layering.
Check the setting type. Prong settings expose more of the stone for maximum brilliance but sit slightly higher off the neck. Bezel settings wrap each stone in a metal rim for a smoother, more protected profile — a better choice for daily wear or active lifestyles.
Frequently Asked Questions
A tennis necklace is a necklace made of individual stones — usually diamonds, moissanite, or cubic zirconia — linked one after another in a continuous, unbroken line, set in gold or platinum.
The name comes from a 1987 U.S. Open match, when tennis player Chris Evert stopped play to look for a diamond bracelet that had slipped off her wrist. The style became known as a "tennis bracelet," and the same continuous-stone design applied to necklaces inherited the name.
A tennis necklace uses stones of consistent size throughout. A riviera necklace graduates from a larger stone at the center to smaller stones toward the back.
Yes — that's part of its appeal. A well-made tennis necklace in solid gold with securely set stones is designed to be worn daily. Bezel settings offer extra durability for very active routines.
Most women's tennis necklaces run 14–18 inches, with 16–18 inches being the most popular for versatile, everyday styling. Men's tennis necklaces typically run 20–24 inches.
