What is a Tennis Chain?

Question: What is a Tennis Chain?

A tennis chain is one of the most stylish chains worn by both men and women today. A classic tennis chain is a row of single stones. The stones are set in prongs (usually 4 prongs) and there is minimal metal…all the attention is on the stones! Its hard to find a chain that’s more iced out than a tennis chain! Sometimes it can have two rows or can have baguette stones. Usually the stones are white diamonds, moissanites, or man-made diamonds. Recently black diamond as well as canary yellow tennis chains started becoming very popular.

Both celebrities and regular people that love to stand out from the crowd love rocking tennis chains! It’s one of the most iced out chains out there. If you follow the hip hop music industry you are sure to have seen your favorite rapper or DJ wearing one of these! These chains have been very trendy lately and we are sure the fashion statement is here to stay for a long time!

Tennis Chain Sizes

You can get a tennis chain in all sizes. Our most popular tennis necklaces at Harlembling are 3mm & 4mm for men and 2mm & 3mm for women. 2mm tennis chains are also known as micro tennis chains as they are barely visible yet offer a lot of bling! 6mm and 7mm tennis chains are a statement piece and are sure to catch attention of anyone walking by. Tennis chains look amazing worn alone or stacked by wearing 2-4 necklaces of different lengths! Some people like to hang pendants on their tennis links.

Harlembling sells 2-7mm tennis chains in both natural 925 silver as well as 14k gold vermeil. We offer these in both moissanite as well as man made diamonds! Moissanite tennis chains pass the diamond tester. Moissanite tennis chains can get a little pricey compared to man made diamonds because they contain large stones…not chips…for instance on a 6mm tennis chain that’s 20” long we use nearly 60 moissanites 0.8ct each! In terms of looks our moissanite tennis chains compared to man made diamonds are 99% the same so if you balling on a budget save some money and get man made diamond. We have recently started selling black tennis chains as well as pink diamond and blue man made diamond tennis necklaces!

Tennis Chain and Bracelet

Tennis bracelets have become increasingly popular as well. They are same style jewelry but meant to be worn on your hand. You can wear them alone or stack them with your favorite watch. Buy a bracelet and chain together and wear as a set! At Harlembling we sell both moissanite and man made diamond tennis bracelets!

Tennis chains and bracelets are durable however since they have many stones, proper care should be taken to ensure they last a lifetime. Tennis chains and bracelets are more fragile than chains made from all metal such as Cuban links. Care should be taken not to pull them or bend them excessively. Tennis chains bend in the direction that you are wearing them. If you try to bend them sideways they can break.
