Looking elegant isn’t as hard as you might think, nor does it require investing in a whole new wardrobe.
Sometimes, it’s the small additions that hold the secret to elevating a look, and that’s certainly the case with the timeless jewellery I always associate with stylish people. Take one of Meghan Markle’s latest looks. Wearing a classic floor-length gown to a Gala in L.A., what really made her ensemble feel high-end was her choice of jewellery. Sitting neatly at the nape of her neck, Markle's tennis necklace added a glimmering point of interest to her black-tie look.
Compromising what I have to assume is a continuous strand of diamonds set in silver or perhaps white gold, this classic piece instilled a classy and elegant finish that made her red carpet styling feel all the more refined. However, a tennis necklace shouldn't be reserved for "best"—I always see fashion people wearing theirs with low-key outfits—think a cardigan, jeans and a simple tee.
Regardless of what you wear them with, tennis necklaces exude a luxurious charm that often belies their price point. Whilst traditional designs featuring diamonds and gold can cost thousands, contemporary alternatives using lower-cost materials offer the same opulent appeal at a fraction of the price, giving you a rich-looking payoff no matter the budget.
With Christmas on the approach, I have to say that for me, finding a better gift under the tree would be a hard task. To shop the elegant jewellery trend that would make any fashion person's heart flutter (and that I’d very much like to receive as a present this year), read on to discover our edit of the best tennis necklaces at different price points.
