Classic tennis jewelry is marked by understated elegance and sparkle. And while strands of diamonds used to be more of an investment for many, today’s styles are more varied, incorporating colored stones and diverse design to make them more accessible. Our top picks for the best tennis jewelry—from Dorsey, Aurate, Stone and Strand, and more—range from necklaces to bracelets that are timeless and wearable.

Tennis jewelry can showcase rows of natural diamonds, lab-grown stones, semi-precious stones and even crystals.

David Yurman DY Crossover Micro Pavé Band Ring

One of the hallmarks of tennis-style jewelry is a continuous, linear setting of stones.

It’s a crossover-style set with pavé diamonds in 18k yellow gold—and it features the brand’s signature twist detailing on the underside of each band.
