How to Choose a Tennis Necklace

Factor What to Consider
Carat Weight A lower carat weight creates a refined, delicate look, while a higher CTW delivers greater presence and statement-making sparkle.
Necklace Length A 14-inch necklace sits higher on the neckline, 16 inches offers a classic fit, and 18 inches creates a longer, more relaxed look. Available lengths vary by design.
Diamond Style A consistent diamond size creates an even line of brilliance, while a graduated design draws attention toward the centre.
Setting Style Prong settings allow maximum light and sparkle, while bezel accents provide a sleek, contemporary finish.
Gold Colour White gold creates a seamless, classic look with the diamonds, while yellow gold adds warmth and beautiful contrast.
Clasp and Security Look for a secure clasp with an additional safety feature to help keep your necklace comfortably in place.
Styling Wear a tennis necklace alone for timeless impact or layer it with a pendant or fine gold chain for a more personalized look.

Lab-Grown Diamond Tennis Necklace FAQ

Do diamond tennis necklaces come with certification?

The smaller diamonds commonly used in tennis necklaces do not typically come with individual grading reports. This is standard practice in the jewellery industry and does not reflect the quality of the diamonds. Larger diamonds may include grading reports from recognized laboratories such as IGI or GIA, where specified.

What is the best length for a diamond tennis necklace?

The ideal length depends on your neckline, personal style and preferred fit. A 16-inch diamond tennis necklace typically sits closer to the base of the neck, while an 18-inch necklace offers a slightly longer, more relaxed look. Both lengths are elegant choices for everyday luxury, special occasions and layering with other fine jewellery.

What is the difference between a lab-grown and natural diamond tennis necklace?

Lab-grown and natural diamonds share the same chemical, physical and optical properties, offering exceptional brilliance and durability. The main difference is their origin. Natural diamonds form within the Earth, while lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology. Lab-grown diamond tennis necklaces generally offer a more accessible price point, allowing you to enjoy greater carat weights for your budget.

How do I choose the right carat weight for a diamond tennis necklace?

The right carat weight depends on your preferred look, necklace length and budget. Lower total carat weights offer a delicate, understated sparkle, while higher carat weights create a more luxurious statement. Because the total carat weight is distributed across the entire necklace, longer necklaces may have slightly smaller individual diamonds at the same total carat weight.

Can I wear a diamond tennis necklace every day?

Yes! Diamond tennis necklaces are designed to offer timeless elegance and can be worn regularly with proper care. To protect the diamonds, settings and clasp, we recommend removing your necklace before exercising, swimming, sleeping or using household cleaning products. Regular professional cleaning and inspections will help maintain its beauty and security.
