While the name may suggest sporty origins, tennis bracelets have long since transcended the court.
Now firmly established in the realm of classic jewellery, it has earned a permanent place in the wardrobe of quiet luxury capsules. With its refined stone lines and clean, uninterrupted design, the tennis bracelet is simultaneously timeless and modern, and pairs as well with a white T-shirt or denim as it does with evening wear.
Long before Chris Evert famously wore it to the 1978 U.S. Open, tennis bracelets were considered a staple of fine jewelry and were traditionally made of diamonds and gold. Now, thanks to lab-grown gemstones and modern manufacturing techniques, a new wave of affordable options has made this look much more accessible.
Whether worn alone or layered with bracelets, the enduring appeal of line bracelets makes them a smart investment that pays off the high cost of wearing them.
When shopping, craftsmanship and durability are just as important as shine. Options range from solid gold and sterling silver to plated and vermeil finishes, and stones like lab-grown diamonds, moissanite and sapphire are durable enough for everyday wear. The secure double lock clasp is also a highlight.
From sub-$100 bargains to legitimate splurges, today’s tennis bracelets prove that understated luxury doesn’t need a shocking price tag. Keep scrolling to see our top picks.
