10.97 CT. Round Brilliant Diamond Graduated Tennis Necklace in 14K White Gold

A graduated tennis necklace blends timeless elegance with a striking focal point. This 10.97 carat design in 14K white gold features 173 round brilliant diamonds that gradually increase in size toward the center, creating a smooth arc of light that enhances the neckline. The round brilliant cut, engineered for maximum sparkle across 58 facets, allows each stone to reflect exceptional brilliance, with smaller diamonds adding shimmer and larger center stones delivering impact.

Set in 14K white gold, the metal subtly enhances the diamonds’ cool radiance while securely holding each stone in place. Substantial yet comfortable, this nearly 11-carat piece transitions effortlessly from everyday sophistication to formal occasions, making it both a meaningful personal investment and a timeless gift.

Stone & material specifications

Graduated design vs. uniform tennis necklace

A standard tennis necklace sets every stone at the same size - beautiful, consistent, and widely worn. The graduated format introduces movement and hierarchy: the eye travels naturally toward the center, creating a visual journey rather than a flat row of sparkle. The effect is more dramatic, more elegant, and because the larger center stones carry more visual weight, more impactful on the neckline.

Styling guidance

• Wear alone over a V-neck or scoop neckline to allow the graduation to follow the natural curve of the collarbone

• Layer with a shorter diamond pendant for a contemporary stacked look

• Pairs naturally with diamond stud earrings or small hoops - the necklace is the statement

• Equally appropriate for formal evening wear and elevated everyday styling

Care & consultation

Store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent tangling or abrasion. Clean with a soft-bristled brush, warm water, and mild soap. Have clasps and settings professionally inspected annually. Private viewings are available at our San Francisco showroom or by online appointment.
