Tennis Necklaces Are The Old-Fashioned Jewelry Trend Making A Major Comeback

Writer Emma Terry

It may seem like a random name, but the tennis necklace actually got its moniker back in 1987 during the US Open, when player Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet while playing. She made officials pause the game until she found it, and it was from then on that the bracelet's association with the sport began. The tennis necklace quickly followed suit due to its similar design and style.

The necklace itself is simple in design — a row of diamonds that are designed to sit at the base of the neck or at the top of the chest. @locaeclectic was one of the first to predict that the tennis necklace was making a comeback in a major way, and the style has been spotted on celebs like Emily Ratajkowski, Zendaya, and Hailey Bieber. 

Its understated look makes tennis necklaces perfect for styling with everyday pieces such as a white t-shirt and jeans, but they can also be worn formally as seen on Brooklyn Beckham, who wore his tennis necklace peeking out from under his mesh white shirt and suit at the 2022 Met Gala.
