Tennis Necklace and Bracelet Set Moissanite 3mm
Questions before you order? We’re here to help
Moissanite Tennis Necklace. A continuous line, refined.
The Bellari Tennis Necklace is built around a single design principle: an uninterrupted line of round brilliant moissanite stones, set in sequence from clasp to clasp with no gaps and no variation in spacing.
Each stone is individually set in a four-claw setting, allowing light to pass through the stone from all angles. The flexible link construction allows the necklace to drape naturally, following the neckline without pulling or shifting.
Both are available in 16 inch and 18 inch lengths. The 16 inch sits at the collarbone. The 18 inch rests slightly lower on the chest, better suited to lower necklines or those who prefer the piece to sit further down.
Set in rhodium finished 925 sterling silver. Finished with a butterfly clasp and double safety latch.
The Bellari Tennis Necklace is designed for occasions that hold weight: weddings, anniversaries, formal events, and the moments in between that deserve the same attention. It pairs directly with the Bellari Tennis Bracelet in the same stone size and setting, worn together as a considered set or built over time as separate pieces.
The piece you reach for when the moment matters.

Understanding Tennis Necklaces:
"What is a tennis necklace?"
A continuous line of individually set stones creating uninterrupted sparkle around your neck.
The design:
Each stone sits in its own setting, typically four-claw or six-claw, linked flexibly to create seamless brilliance that drapes naturally.
The stones go all the way around. No gaps, no breaks, just continuous sparkle from collarbone to collarbone.
What makes it distinctive:
The heritage:
Also called "rivière necklaces" (French for "river"), the flowing sparkle resembles water. The style dates to the Art Deco era (1920s-1930s) as "line necklaces."
Our tennis necklace:
2mm or 3mm round brilliant moissanite stones, each in its own four-claw setting. 925 sterling silver (rhodium-plated to prevent tarnishing).
Two lengths: 16" (sits at collarbone) and 18" (sits slightly lower on chest).
Pairs beautifully with:
"Why is it called a tennis necklace?"
The name comes from tennis champion Chris Evert's 1987 US Open match, the same incident that named tennis bracelets.
The moment:
During her match, Evert's diamond bracelet clasp broke and the bracelet fell off. She asked officials to pause play whilst she searched for it.
The interruption was televised internationally. The "line bracelet" became universally known as a "tennis bracelet."
The necklace connection:
The same design, continuous line of individually set stones, was adapted to necklace length. The term "tennis necklace" followed naturally from "tennis bracelet."
The earlier history:
These necklaces existed long before 1987. During the Art Deco era (1920s-1930s), they were called "line necklaces" or "rivière necklaces", French for "river" due to their flowing appearance.
But Chris Evert's moment gave them the name that stuck.
What this tells you:
Tennis necklaces are designed to be worn actively, elegant yet secure. The flexible design and reliable clasps allow you to wear them confidently for any occasion.
Complete styling:
Tennis necklaces are the natural pairing with tennis bracelets the matched set for formal occasions, weddings, and significant celebrations.
"Are tennis necklaces timeless?"
Yes, the design has remained elegant since the Art Deco era (1920s-1930s).
The evidence:
Nearly 100 years later, the continuous line of stones looks just as elegant. Look at photos from the 1920s, 1950s, 1980s, today, the design is unchanged.
Why tennis necklaces endure:
In moissanite:
Our Bellari moissanite tennis necklaces deliver the same timeless design with exceptional brilliance. The continuous sparkle, flexible drape, and classic elegance, with moissanite's superior fire.
Complete formal jewellery:
Many people build matched sets: tennis necklace + tennis bracelet + round studs or oval studs for complete formal elegance that lasts decades.
Length & Fit:
"How should a tennis necklace fit?"
Snug enough to sit at your collarbone or chest without sliding, loose enough to move naturally.
The ideal fit:
Movement is normal:
Tennis necklaces should move slightly as you move. The flexible links are designed to flow naturally, this creates the elegant drape.
They shouldn't spin completely around your neck, but gentle movement is part of the design.
Too tight:
Too loose:
Why proper length matters:
If you're unsure:
16" is the most universally flattering length. It works for most neck lengths and necklines.
Gifting? consider: Our Bellari Gift Card, let them choose their perfect length. Delivered instantly via email, seamless when you want to give something meaningful but let them select what fits best.
"Does a tennis necklace flip over?"
Well-made tennis necklaces with proper length shouldn't flip frequently.
What causes flipping:
How proper fit prevents flipping:
If flipping happens:
Simply flip it back, takes a moment. Some people do this once or twice during extended wear.
For formal events or photos, check positioning before the moment (wedding ceremony, formal photos, etc.).
Our construction:
Each stone is set individually in four-claw settings, linked flexibly for natural drape. The even weight distribution helps the necklace sit properly.
Complete styling:
Tennis necklaces pair beautifully with tennis bracelets, both feature the same flexible, individually-set design. Add round studs or oval studs for complete formal elegance.
"What length tennis necklace should I choose?"
16" for collarbone, 18" for lower chest, both are classic.
16-inch (most common):
Sits at the collarbone. The continuous sparkle frames your neckline beautifully.
Perfect for:
18-inch:
Sits slightly lower, resting on upper chest below the collarbone.
Perfect for:
How to decide:
Most people choose 16", it's the classic tennis necklace length that works for the widest range of occasions and necklines.
If you already wear 18" necklaces regularly and prefer that length, choose 18" for your tennis necklace.
By neckline:
Complete styling:
Tennis necklaces pair beautifully with tennis bracelets regardless of length. Add round studs or oval studs for cohesive formal styling.
"Should i choose 2mm or 3mm stones for a tennis necklace?"
2mm is refined. 3mm is our signature.
On versatility:
3mm works for more occasions - formal enough for events, refined enough for daily wear.
2mm leans more casual, though it can be dressed up through layering or pairing with statement earrings.
Our recommendation:
If this is your first or only tennis necklace, choose 3mm. The proportion has remained classic for a reason.
About Bellari Moissanite Tennis Necklace:
"Should I choose 2mm or 3mm tennis necklace?"
2mm for delicate refinement. 3mm for balanced presence, our signature size.
Here's what you're choosing between:
2mm – Refined and minimal:
Delicate by design. The 2mm creates subtle sparkle that enhances rather than announces.
Perfect for:
Visual presence: Refined line of sparkle. Noticeable but restrained.
3mm – Bellari's signature size (most chosen):
Balanced presence. Noticeable without excess. This is the size we recommend for those seeking a single, versatile piece.
Perfect for:
Visual presence: Clear, elegant sparkle. Appropriate for ceremony and photographs. Visible but not excessive.
How to decide:
Stone quality is identical:
Both feature the same D-colour, VVS1 moissanite. The only difference is scale and intended styling.
The 3mm offers more surface for light to refract, resulting in greater visual impact. The 2mm sits more subtly, creating a refined line.
Complete matched sets:
Our 3mm tennis bracelet matches the 3mm necklace precisely, same stone size, same setting, same brilliance. The classic formal pairing.
Pairing with earrings:
Yes, the continuous circle of stones carries beautiful eternity symbolism.

Styling & Wearing:
"Can you wear a tennis necklace every day?"
You can, though most people save tennis necklaces for formal occasions and special moments.
Why tennis necklaces work for daily wear:
Why most choose special occasions:
Tennis necklaces create significant sparkle, the continuous line of stones is noticeably elegant.
Many people prefer to save this level of sparkle for formal events, weddings, anniversaries, celebrations where the elegance feels intentional.
For daily wear:
Round studs or oval studs provide everyday elegance with sparkle that suits all occasions, from casual to formal.
Tennis bracelets are more commonly worn daily than tennis necklaces, the wrist positioning feels less formal.
Complete styling approach:
Some people wear tennis bracelet + round studs daily, then add tennis necklace for formal occasions.
This creates cohesive elegance: everyday sparkle + formal-occasion enhancement.
Caring for daily wear:
"What do you wear with a tennis necklace?"
Formal wear, elegant evening attire, and wedding attire, tennis necklaces suit refined occasions.
Perfect pairings:

"Does the tennis necklace come with a matching bracelet?"
Yes. We offer them separately and as a set.
The matching bracelet:
Our tennis bracelet features the same round brilliant-cut moissanite stones, same setting style, same rhodium-plated 925sterling silver.
Available in 2mm or 3mm to match your necklace size.
Wearing them together:
The necklace and bracelet are designed as companion pieces. Worn together, they create a cohesive aesthetic - same stone size, same brilliance, intentional pairing.
The set:
We offer a Tennis Necklace & Bracelet Set (in 3mm) for those who prefer the matched pairing from the start.
Or separately:
Many customers purchase the bracelet first, then add the necklace later. Both approaches work - the pieces will match regardless of when they're acquired.
"Can you layer a tennis necklace?"
Yes, tennis necklaces work beautifully as the shortest layer in a necklace stack.
How to layer:
Tennis necklace as base layer: The 16" tennis necklace sits at collarbone. Add longer necklaces (20", 24", 28") beneath for layered sparkle.
Why tennis works as base: The continuous sparkle creates a sparkling foundation. Longer pendants or chains sit below without competing.
What to layer with:
Layering principles:
Complete formal styling:
Tennis necklace + tennis bracelet (not layered, just paired) + round studs or oval studs creates cohesive formal elegance.
"Should a tennis necklace be worn alone or with other jewellery?"
Tennis necklaces look beautiful alone, but pairing with earrings and bracelet creates cohesive formal elegance.
Alone:
The continuous sparkle is elegant on its own. Some people wear just the tennis necklace, simple, refined, letting the necklace be the focal point.
With earrings (recommended):
Tennis necklace + earrings creates balanced sparkle. The earrings frame your face, the necklace frames your neckline.
Perfect pairings:
With tennis bracelet (classic):
Tennis necklace + tennis bracelet is the signature formal pairing. Continuous sparkle at neck and wrist, cohesive elegance for significant occasions.
Complete bridal jewellery:
Tennis necklace + tennis bracelet + round studs + eternity band = comprehensive formal styling
