A style now unafraid to serve outside the lines, here’s MOJEH’s edit of the diamond jewellery most likely to score points — and never commit a fault.
Grand Slam
A triumph of unexpected forms and shapes, VRAI’s double strand tennis necklace is anything but standard. Combining seven distinct diamond silhouettes — and originally created for the 2024 Met Gala as part of the VRAI x Stella McCartney collection — this deft combination of classic format and adventurous execution is at the crux of tennis jewellery’s new direction. Baguette, lozenge, hexagon, round brilliant, half moon and princess cuts can all be found in the necklace’s dazzling front section, while the back’s graceful 14 carat white gold box clasp closure provides the elegant finishing touch. That’s what you call acing it. Mixed Shape Double Strand Tennis necklace, VRAI. Shop Now
Match Point
Why settle for just one item of tennis jewellery, when you can make a real statement with a full set? Cartier’s flair for geometry is on full display with Reflection de Cartier’s matching combo of white gold and diamond earrings (pictured below), bracelet, ring and necklace, combining baguette and brilliant-cut diamonds to dazzling effect. It’s a spectacular expansion of this style, and one sure to draw an admiring crowd. Reflection de Cartier earrings, Cartier. Shop Now
Rain Stops Play
There’s nothing like a fresh summer shower to awaken the senses — but unlike at Wimbledon, a few raindrops won’t put a stop to the fun when it comes to SWE ME’s Summer Dew Drops jewellery. Delicate drilled oval rose-cut diamonds hang lightly and tantalisingly on the skin, linked by a delicate gold chain. Evoking crisp summer mornings in nature and fleeting moments of wonder, these are everyday diamonds with a sense of something truly out of the ordinary. Summer Dew Drops bracelet, SWE ME. Shop Now
Best Of Five
Diamonds, 18 carat white gold and a whole lot of symbolism: because Chanel leaves nothing to chance. Counting on its lucky N⁰5 icon, the Eternal N⁰5 Diamond Line necklace uses a procession of generously-bezelled and a sprinkle of vintage. The wider Eternal N⁰5 Diamond Line collection also includes bracelets, earrings and rings, should you wish to add some matchy-matchy goodness to your look, but this adjustable necklace is gems to frame the stylised numeral, complete with central solitaire and tear-shaped drop, adding movement more than bold enough to make a statement all by itself.

Dubai Open
Love the clean lines of tennis bracelets, but have a taste for more volume and a sculptural element? Toktam has you covered with its Ashkal Pyramid style, an audaciously-proportioned and satisfyingly flexible bracelet that’s as sleek and sophisticated as the city that inspired its design.
Mimicking the geometry of some of Dubai’s most beloved architecture, including the minimalism and refinement of Ain Dubai, the emotion of Burj Al Arab and the cultural significance of the Dubai Frame, the diamond dotted peaks of this piece represent the twinkling of lights that illuminates Dubai at night. A worthy tribute to the city it represents, it’s the ultimate expression of the magic that happens when the best of complexity and simplicity combine. Ashkal Pyramid bracelet, Toktam. Shop Now
Wave At The Crowd
As a brand well versed in tennis — its racquet necklaces and bracelets are somehow twee and chic at the same time, especially the versions that come personalised with an initial — it’s only natural that Ailes should ace the tennis bracelet challenge too. Opting for an undulating wave-format bangle, its peaks and troughs punctuated with gradually ebbing and flowing diamonds, it’s a clean yet eye-catching take on the genre. Are tennis bracelets too middle-of-the-road for you? Give this rippling beauty a spin. Wave bangle, Ailes. Shop Now
Love All
Adding a soft-edged feel to the classic bracelet format, going pear shaped is absolutely a positive for Hiba Jaber’s non-traditional tennis offerings. Pear-cut diamonds are responsible for a gentler, more casual feel, while still keeping the elevated chic that only a row of diamonds can provide. There’s also a size-graduated necklace version of this piece, giving the ultimate in wearability and sure to become a lifelong jewellery companion — or even as a set for even more oomph. Truly an all-terrain design, the mellowness of these teardrop shaped diamonds does nothing to dampen the impressiveness of their ice-cool beauty. Pear Diamond necklace, Hiba Jaber. Shop Now
Mixed Doubles
Taking the straight lines of a tennis bracelet and mixing it up with the depth of rich, green malachite, the Heirloom bangle from 94 Jewelry puts a left-of-field twist on this timeless trend. With the 94 Jewelry team citing their grandmothers’ jewellery boxes as their inspiration for this colourful range, we’re nonetheless drawn to its clean and minimalistic lines and splashes of bold saturation. Unapologetically vivid gold, verdant malachite and the dazzle of diamonds, when combined with 94 Jewelry’s other tennis-adjacent creations, are nothing short of a triple whammy.
