Once a symbol of old-school glamour reserved for cocktail hours and red-carpet appearances, the tennis bracelet has undergone a stylish transformation in recent years. In 2025, it’s firmly at the centre of elite fashion wardrobes. No longer confined to formal occasions, this iconic piece has become a must-have for jewellery enthusiasts looking for something that’s equal parts timeless and trend-forward.

From Gen Z influencers to fashion veterans, everyone is embracing the tennis bracelet for its minimalism, sparkle, and sheer versatility. Whether worn solo or layered into a curated wrist stack, it adds a whisper of sophistication without trying too hard. Anmol Bhansali, Managing Director at Goldiam International Ltd., explains this shift perfectly, “Tennis bracelets have moved far beyond formal wear. Today, they’re all about versatility. You can pair one with a crisp white shirt and jeans; layer it with chunky bangles or delicate chains for a more fashion-forward look; or even style it with a watch for a sleek, everyday stack. The clean lines and understated sparkle make it easy to dress up or down, and that’s what makes it such a staple in a modern jewellery wardrobe.”

This easy wearability is a big part of what makes tennis bracelets so appealing in today’s style climate, which leans heavily on pieces that transition smoothly between casual and dressy. For many buyers, it’s about having jewellery that feels personal yet elevated and something that offers both sentiment and style. A tennis bracelet is timeless because of its simplicity, versatility, and the way it elevates any look, believes Bhansali. He adds, “It’s the kind of piece you can wear for years and can never get tired of. What makes it a true investment is the balance between design and craftsmanship. Buyers should look for clean, secure settings, typically prong or bezel, that allow each diamond to shine while ensuring durability. The stones themselves should be well-matched in cut, colour, clarity, and size to create a seamless, fluid line of sparkle.”

While the classic round-diamond version remains a favourite, modern iterations are taking creative liberties with shape and structure. Bhansali reveals that the brand’s latest collection features a range of diamond shapes including heart, oval, emerald, cushion, princess, radiant, to bring a fresh personality to a traditional design. Going into details, he explains, “We use lab-grown VS grade diamonds in E-F colour for their exceptional brilliance. We wanted to take something as timeless as the tennis bracelet and necklace and give it a fresh spin. That meant playing with subtle design details like offering the tennis collection with a variety of diamond shapes. We also give full customization to the buyer, which means they can create their own piece with any diamond shape, and each at the same price. These benefits are not possible with traditional, mined diamond jewellery.”

Ultimately, what sets the tennis bracelet apart in today’s jewellery landscape is how it blends quiet luxury with personal expression. As Bhansali puts it, these are “pieces that feel luxurious but are easy to wear every day, whether you’re dressed up or keeping it casual. Every piece is crafted to be both beautiful and lasting -- something you’ll keep going back to, whether it’s a casual day or a special occasion.”
