Tennis jewellery: your questions

The little details, answered. Anything else, we're one WhatsApp message away.

What makes a bracelet a tennis bracelet?
One unbroken line of stones, each held in its own setting, linked so the whole piece flexes around the wrist. That is all the name means. Some of ours add a centre stone, like Thurraya and Amara, but the line itself stays unbroken. The name comes from a US Open match where a player stopped play to look for the diamond line bracelet she had lost, and the style has been called that ever since. A zircon tennis bracelet works on the same principle as a diamond one: the effect comes from the continuity of the line, not the stone.
Are the stones real diamonds?
No. They are zircon (cubic zirconia) and crystal, set in 18k gold plating, applied by PVD, on 316L stainless steel, so you get a bright, diamond-like sparkle at a fraction of the price. It is not solid gold and has no resale value. If you want gold by weight, see our top 10 jewellery brands in the UAE.
How should a tennis bracelet fit?
Loose enough to rotate, snug enough that it can't slide over the widest part of your hand. Wrap a strip of paper around your wrist bone, mark it, measure it in millimetres and add about 15 mm; most wrists land between 17 and 19 cm. Our tennis bracelets close with a clasp and an extender chain; between them they cover roughly 16 to 22 cm, and the size guide on each piece gives its own range. Too tight and the settings press into the skin; too loose and the line turns over. Check the clasp with your other hand after fastening.
Will a gold plated tennis bracelet tarnish?
Not in normal wear. A tennis line has more settings, joins and edges than any other piece, and each is a place where a cheap finish wears through first. PVD bonds the gold to a steel core with no copper in it to react, so the colour holds in Gulf humidity instead of going dark at the links. The 12-month warranty covers discolouration, plating that lifts and a stone that comes loose.
Can I wear it every day, even in water?
Yes: hand-washing, rain, the shower and the gym. After a long swim in the pool or the sea, rinse it in fresh water and dry it, since chlorine and salt collect in the settings. Store it flat and on its own, because a tennis line scratches against harder pieces in a shared pouch, and wipe under the stones with a soft cloth once a week to keep them bright. Perfume first, jewellery second.
Can I return it?
Yes. You have 30 days to send a piece back for a refund, store credit or an exchange. Full details are in our refund policy.

Tennis bracelets and necklaces at Pellington

Every tennis piece at Pellington has 18k gold plating, applied by PVD, on 316L surgical-grade stainless steel. The bracelets are Hayyat, Amara, Leila, Layali and Thurraya: Layali frames each oval stone in a halo of smaller ones, and Thurraya sets a single emerald-green stone at the centre of a clear baguette zircon line. The necklaces are Malakiyah on 8A zircon with baguette accents, Ikhlas dipping to a single princess-cut stone, Leila running marquise stones set diagonally, Dawlah hanging round pearl drops from a zircon line, and Zahra, a 36 cm round zircon tennis strand above a 42 cm chain that ends in a four-petal blossom, both on one clasp. Sahare is the tennis anklet, and the easiest way into the look. Comparing brands before you buy? Read our guide to the best tennis bracelets in the UAE.

Bracelet, necklace or both?

A tennis bracelet is the safer first buy: wrists are more forgiving to size than necklines, and it reads at close range across a desk or a table. A tennis necklace does more work in the evening, sitting where the light finds it. Worn together, keep one line thin and let the other carry the weight: Hayyat under Malakiyah works, two heavy lines compete. If you want the set to stay quiet, Sahare at the ankle finishes it without adding to what is already at the collarbone. Our bracelets and necklaces hold the same plating, so nothing reads as a mismatch.

A tennis piece as a gift

It is the classic present for a reason: no size to guess on a necklace, and a bracelet is right within a centimetre or two. Each piece carries an Arabic name chosen for its meaning, collected on The Names Behind the Pieces: Hayyat is life, Ikhlas sincerity, Malakiyah regal. Every order arrives in the signature green box with a suede pouch. Free delivery across the UAE with no minimum, usually in 2–3 days, 30-day returns, and Cash on Delivery, Tabby, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay at checkout.
