Retro Tennis Necklace For Sale on 1stDibs

Surely you’ll find the exact retro tennis necklace you’re seeking on 1stDibs — we’ve got a vast assortment for sale. Every item for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using Gold, White Gold and 14k Gold. Making the right choice when shopping for a retro tennis necklace may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 20th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 20th Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. Finding an appealing retro tennis necklace — no matter the origin — is easy, but Cartier, Incogem and Oscar Heyman each produced a popular version that is worth a look. While most can agree that any retro tennis necklace from our collection can easily elevate most outfits, but the choice of a Diamond version from the 18 available is guaranteed to add a special touch to your ensemble. See these pages for a round cut iteration of this accessory, while there are also brilliant cut cut and mixed cut cut versions available here, too. When shopping for a retro tennis necklace, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for unisex or men today than there are for women.

How Much is a Retro Tennis Necklace?

The price for a retro tennis necklace starts at $300 and tops out at $161,000 with these necklaces, on average, selling for $15,350.

Finding the Right necklaces for You

We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners.

Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers. 

In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs. 

For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone. 

Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage necklaces designed by David Webb — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt

On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more. 

Questions About Retro Tennis Necklace
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A tennis necklace, also known as a tennis chain, refers to a type of necklace made from small diamonds or gemstones connected by precious metals like gold or silver. The term originated in the 1980s when these necklaces were commonly worn by tennis players. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary tennis necklaces and bracelets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The term “tennis necklace” means a piece of jewelry worn around the neck that consists of a continuous series of precious gemstones of matching size and shape. Most often, diamonds are the stones featured in tennis necklaces. Find a range of tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Generally, a tennis necklace should sit just above or below the neckline of whatever a person is wearing. For most people, tennis necklaces that are 16 to 18 inches long are ideal. However, some may wish to wear a longer piece if they are tall, have a wide neck or are wearing a low-cut top or dress. Explore a collection of tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Yes, you can generally wear your tennis necklace every day. Chains that are 3 millimeters thick or smaller are common choices for everyday wear because their size allows them to be dressed up or down to suit different occasions. Just remember to take your necklace off before showering, applying skin care products or participating in activities that could damage your jewelry. Shop a wide range of tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    What a good size is for a tennis necklace depends on your preferences. In terms of thickness, 3 millimeters is the average or medium size, but you can find thinner options for a subtler look and chunkier ones that make a more dramatic statement. Lengths vary as well, with 18 to 20 inches being among the most common dimensions. Shorter tennis chains may work better with some necklines, and those who want to layer their tennis necklaces may prefer longer pieces. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of tennis necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To keep a tennis necklace from flipping, attach a bead, metal ball or charm to the necklace chain at the clasp to serve as a counterweight. Flipping occurs when the clasp weighs more than the chain. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of tennis necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    Yes, you can wear a pendant on a tennis necklace. The key is to choose a pendant with a large enough bail to fit over the fastener and the links. Generally, thinner tennis necklaces will work better with pendants than ones that are 5 millimeters or above in thickness. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of tennis necklaces and pendants.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    How many carats a tennis necklace is depends on the size and number of diamonds that it features. For example, a tennis necklace with 100, 0.1 carat diamonds would have a total weight of 100 carats, while one with 60, 0.2 carat diamonds would be 120 carats in total. Generally, the longer a tennis necklace is and the larger its gemstones are, the higher the total carat weight will be. Shop a range of tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Diamond tennis necklaces remain popular even as trends change from season to season. This style of accessory is luxurious, nostalgic, wearable everyday and delights the eye with its sparkle. Plus, the tennis chain is versatile. It can coordinate with both casual and dressy attire and be worn alone or layered. Explore a variety of diamond tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, you can generally wear a diamond tennis necklace every day. Due to the small size of the stones, tennis necklaces can complement casual attire as easily as they can dressier ensembles. However, you should remove your necklace before you shower and when you're exercising, playing sports and doing other activities that could damage your jewelry. Find a collection of diamond tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    Yes, men can wear a diamond tennis necklace. Since there are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to men's jewelry, you're free to sport anything that you find appealing. Pete Davidson, Drake and Timothée Chalamet are just some of the famous men who have been spotted wearing tennis chains. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of diamond tennis necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    There is no single best setting for a diamond tennis necklace. You can find tennis chains with both prong and bezel settings, and both types can keep diamonds secure when they are well crafted. The biggest difference is that full bezel settings encircle the gemstones, while prongs hug the stones with three or four metal elements, leaving most of their edges visible. Feel free to choose the type of setting that appeals most to you. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of diamond tennis necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    The best way to tell if a diamond tennis necklace is real is to hire a licensed appraiser to evaluate it. While you can perform tests like seeing if fog dissipates quickly after breathing on it, it's generally not possible to verify for certain that diamonds are real on your own. You'll find a range of expertly vetted diamond tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    There is no set number of diamonds on a 16-inch tennis necklace. The number of diamonds that make up a tennis chain often depends on the size of the gemstones. Generally, the larger the diamonds are, the fewer there are on a tennis necklace. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of tennis necklaces.
