The tennis necklace has quietly become one of the most sought-after jewelry pieces of the moment — elegant, effortless, and endlessly wearable. It’s the kind of investment piece that works just as beautifully with a white tee as it does with an evening gown.
Much of the recent buzz comes down to the rise of lab grown diamonds, which have made fine jewelry not only more ethical, but far more accessible. Suddenly, the tennis necklace feels right for now — luxe without being flashy, timeless without feeling traditional.
It’s something that never goes out of style. Whether worn solo for subtle sparkle or layered with other pieces for maximum impact, the tennis necklace delivers a quiet confidence. Personally, the piece I’ve been complimented on most this year is a sleek, sparkling strand from Canadian jewelry label Mejuri — modern, refined, and endlessly wearable.
Of course, this minimalist marvel has a story. According to fashion lore, the term “tennis” necklace (and its bracelet counterpart) traces back to the late ’70s, when tennis legend Chris Evert famously halted play at the US Open after her diamond bracelet broke and fell on the court. The moment paused the match — and kickstarted a cultural icon. Evert’s crisp, clean sparkle on the court signaled a shift in how diamonds were worn — casually, confidently, and often.
A tennis necklace is the easiest way to elevate anything — a blazer, a hoodie, a slip dress, or the aforementioned perfect tee. It’s sleek. It’s refined. It lets the diamonds speak for themselves.

With the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds are a solid alternative for those seeking higher carat weights at a great value.

To put on the necklace, insert the tongue into the clasp until you hear a “click.” Then, clip the safety arms down on both sides of the clasp to secure the bracelet. To take it off, unclip and pull the two horizontal safety arms away from the sides of the clasp. Then, press the thin vertical button to release the inner tongue.
