Tennis-style pieces from our collection
The tennis style is one of the defining jewellery trends of 2026 — you'll have seen those continuous lines of sparkling stones on wrists and necklines everywhere. Here's what actually makes a piece 'tennis', where the odd name comes from, and how to wear it.
What is a tennis setting?
A tennis piece is a flexible line of individually set, evenly matched stones running all the way around a bracelet or necklace. Each stone sits in its own small setting, linked to the next, so the whole thing moves and drapes smoothly and catches the light continuously. It's the even, uninterrupted line of sparkle that defines the look.
Where the name comes from
It's a genuinely charming story: at the 1987 US Open, tennis champion Chrissie Evert's diamond line bracelet came loose mid-match and play was paused while she found it. The style has been called the 'tennis bracelet' ever since. The name stuck, and the design has never really gone away.
Bracelet, necklace or choker?
The tennis bracelet is the classic — a single line of stones around the wrist, brilliant on its own or stacked with other bracelets. The tennis necklace takes the same idea around the neck for maximum impact, while a tennis choker sits higher and shorter. Our tennis range is currently led by moissanite tennis bracelets, like the classic Moissanite Tennis Bracelet; for the look at the neckline we have crystal-set, tennis-style pieces such as the Butterfly Tennis Necklace. (All our stones here are lab-created moissanite or crystal — never described as diamond.)
How to wear it
A tennis bracelet is beautifully versatile — elegant solo for evening, or stacked with a plain bangle or watch by day. A tennis necklace layers well with a shorter pendant for that on-trend stacked-necklace look, or stands alone as the statement. Because the line of sparkle does so much, keep the rest of your jewellery simple and let it lead.
A note on care
Tennis pieces have many small settings, so give them an occasional gentle clean to keep every stone bright, and check the clasp now and then — that famous 1987 story is a good reminder to make sure it's done up securely.
The short version
A tennis piece is a flexible, continuous line of matched stones, named after a 1987 US Open mishap. Bracelets are the classic and most versatile; necklaces make the bigger statement. Keep the rest of your look simple, and check that clasp.
