Tennis Necklaces

In the world of design, the concepts of "timeless" and "elegant" have always found a place across different eras. One of the most refined examples of these concepts is the tennis necklace. First brought into the spotlight in 1987 when professional tennis player Chris Evert's necklace broke during a match, this unique design quickly gained a prominent spot in the fashion world. Both simple and striking, tennis necklaces offer a delicate sparkle through the arrangement of stones, while providing a way to achieve elegance in any style. More than just an accessory, it has become a symbol of timeless sophistication.

History of Tennis Necklaces

In fact, the name "tennis necklace" wasn’t always used. In the 1980s, famous tennis player Chris Evert dropped her tennis chain bracelet during a match, and from that moment on, the name became associated with the design. However, tennis chains were quite popular in the 1920s as well and were known by the name "riviere." This word, derived from French, means "river" and refers to the continuous line of stones in the necklace, much like a flowing river. Before being called tennis necklaces, these pieces of jewelry were referred to as "inline necklaces," reflecting the pure and orderly nature of the design.

In both the 1920s and the 1970s, designers and people alike adopted the mindset of wanting to look elegant yet have something suitable for everyday wear. This is precisely where tennis necklaces became the sought-after piece. With their minimalist design, they offered women the advantage of looking chic both in daily life and at special occasions they needed to attend. Today, tennis necklaces come in various designs, including different colored stones and styles with straps. You may have even come across one in a woman’s jewelry box.
