2026 Gemological & Pricing Breakdown: Tennis Necklaces

The secret to a tennis necklace that never flips on the neckline is low-center-of-gravity basket engineering paired with precise link articulation. Viviour’s solid 14k and 18k gold links are hand-assembled for fluid drape at 16, 17, or 18 inches.

Why Workshop-Direct Fine Jewelry Wins in 2026

Legacy jewelry houses build 300% to 400% retail overhead into every price tag to cover Fifth Avenue leases and middleman brokers. Viviour pairs IGI/GIA-grade stone sourcing with direct bench craftsmanship so every dollar goes into heavier gold weight and higher stone clarity.
