The timeless bling of independence

@emrata

There’s nothing understated about a string of diamonds, but like all good classics – you can take them straight to the bank….

Marilyn always said that diamonds are a girls best friend, and while we generally beg to differ (it’s Bravo, right?), nothing makes us feel fancier or more secure, and that’s good too. When it comes to form, we wouldn’t say no to a diamond ring (if the shoe fits), but our preference is a set of multiples on a fine, linked band, aka a tennis bracelet or necklace. The Birkin of accessories, tennis jewellery goes up and down in the style stakes cyclically, but never depreciates – so for those of us who don’t yet understand NFT’s (and yes, we heard Paris’s explanation) they’re a savvy investment.

Originally known as an eternity bracelet, the term ‘tennis bracelet’ was first formed when tennis player (and covert hero) Chris Evert paused her own game mid-match at the 1987 US open to search for her bracelet on the court - priorities, right?

History aside, tennis jewellery his everywhere at the moment — subtly adorning the necklines and wrists of those in the know and garnering ‘is that real’ stares from the rest of us. Well, whether people believe us or not – we want some. After all, nothing says ‘I’ve got my shit together’ like a diamond (or 10 of them).

If you want some too, we’re currently counting our coins and lusting over this one from Natascha Schweitzer, oh and its wayyyyy more cheque book friendly Michael Hill iteration.
