How to Choose A Tennis Necklace You’ll Never Take Off

Tennis necklaces have officially made their way into daytime dressing and the wardrobe of every in-the-know woman. Whether paired with a white tee or a floor-length gown, a diamond tennis necklace is the kind of piece that doesn’t just complete a look—it becomes the main character.
Here are a few details worth considering before investing in a diamond tennis necklace.
Marquise
Long, lean, and endlessly elegant, marquise diamonds have become an it-girl favorite. They add an unexpected twist to the traditional tennis silhouette, sharp, sleek, and still timeless. Think of the marquise tennis necklace as the fashion editor's take on a classic.
Pear-Shaped
Pear-shaped diamonds are a graceful blend of round brilliance and marquise elegance, this cut offers the best of both worlds on a pear shaped tennis necklace. This cut is our personal favorite, and for good reason. Pears tend to appear larger per carat than other diamonds, making them the perfect choice when you want a piece that makes a statement without stretching too far from your budget.
Oval Shaped
While traditional tennis necklaces feature round brilliant diamonds, oval-shaped diamonds add a more elongated, elegant look with a modern edge. Oval diamond tennis necklaces naturally elongate the neckline, giving the illusion of a longer silhouette. Oval diamond necklaces are also less common, which makes them feel a little more bespoke.
Mixed Shape
For those who want it all, mixed shape tennis necklaces feature a combination of diamond cuts—like round, emerald, pear, oval, marquise, radiant, cushion, and more, set in a continuous line of texture and play. These diamond necklaces offer a playful twist and contrast in shapes, which makes it look different and modern.
Round
Round brilliant diamonds are the cornerstone of any timeless jewelry wardrobe. They typically feature prong or bezel settings to secure the stones. We love pairing a classic round necklace with more unexpected shapes for a layered, modern feel.
Finding The Right Fit
Fit is everything. A graduated tennis necklace (where stones get smaller near the clasp) may lend itself better to a slightly longer length. A classic tennis necklace should sit snug, not tight—laying flat against your skin and evenly weighted around the neckline. Think of it like a couture collar: seamless and sculpted, never stiff.

As seen on icons
From red carpets to off-duty street style, tennis necklaces have become a signature. Kaia Gerber and Emily Ratajkowski have worn them to major fashion events, while Kendall Jenner has turned hers into a part of her everyday uniform. It's the kind of piece that doesn't just adapt to your life—it elevates it.
When styled right, a diamond tennis necklace doesn’t just complement your style, it becomes the base of the outfit and takes it to the next level.
Natural or lab-grown?
A common question, and a valid one. If you're after an investment piece that will be in your rotation forever, a natural diamond tennis necklace is the way to go. If you are looking for exceptional quality with a more accessible price point, a lab-grown diamond tennis necklace is an excellent choice. Ours are sourced from elite partners and hand-selected for fire, clarity, and brilliance. Crafted in-house to the highest standards, the result is a lab grown diamond necklace that looks and feels every bit as luxurious.
Whether you choose round or pear, natural or lab, a tennis necklace is more than a trend. It seamlessly becomes part of your everyday uniform and makes every look stand out. Pick the right one, and trust us—you’ll never want to take it off.
