A tennis necklace is a single, continuous line of gemstones of the same size. Traditional tennis necklaces use set diamonds. Ours use colorful faceted gemstone beads, hand-knotted on silk.

Why is it called a tennis necklace?

The name comes from the tennis bracelet, which became famous after tennis player Chris Evert's diamond line bracelet broke during a match in 1987.

Are these necklaces solid gold?

The gemstones are hand-knotted on silk and finished with solid 14K gold.

What bead size should I choose?

4mm beads feel dainty and layer easily. 7-8mm and 8-9mm beads make more of a statement.

Can I wear a silk-knotted necklace every day?

Yes. Just keep it away from water, lotion and perfume to protect the silk.
