The Tennis Necklace Trend Is Timeless and Makes Everything So Classy

Looking elegant isn’t as hard as you might think, nor does it require investing in a whole new wardrobe. Sometimes, it’s the small things that hold the secret to elevating a look, and that’s certainly the case with the timeless jewellery I always associate with stylish people.

Take Meghan Markle’s latest look. Wearing a classic floor-length gown to Gala in L.A., what really made her ensemble feel high end was her choice of jewellery. Sitting neatly at the nape of her neck, Markle’s tennis necklace added a glimmering point of interest to her black-tie ensemble. Compromising what I have to assume is continuous strand of diamonds set in silver or perhaps white gold, this classic jewellery item instilled a classy and elegant finish that made her red carpet styling feel all the more refined. However, a tennis necklace isn’t a piece of jewellery that should be reserved for best—I always see fashion people wearing theirs with lowkey outfits—think a cardigan, jeans and a T-shirt.

Regardless of what you wear them with, tennis necklaces exude a luxurious charm that often belies their price point. Nowadays, there are a variety of necklaces cast in different stones and metals available that look very much like the real thing, so finding an affordable option is more realistic than ever.

While traditional designs featuring diamonds and gold can cost thousands, contemporary alternatives using different materials offer the same opulent appeal at a fraction of the price, giving you a rich-looking payoff no matter the budget.

With Christmas on the approach, I have to say, finding a better gift to open on the morning of the 25th would be a hard task. To shop the elegant jewellery trend that would make any fashion person’s heart flutter (and that I’d very much like to receive as a present this year), read on to discover our edit of the best tennis necklaces at different price points below.
