Wimbledon Jewellery Style Guide

Wimbledon style is polished, summery and elegant, but never loud. The best jewellery for Wimbledon tennis tournament follows the same rule. Think subtle sparkles, beautiful materials and jewellery that looks considered without making it seem as if you've styled for a red carpet.

Your Wimbledon jewellery should complement your outfit rather than compete with it. A linen dress, tailored blazer, silk shirt, crisp jumpsuit or soft summer co-ord all work beautifully with minimal, high-quality pieces. The aim is to add light, texture and glamour, while keeping the whole look refined.

Styling Wimbledon jewellery is also about wearability. The right bracelet, pearl necklace or pair of earrings should look beautiful on Centre Court, then feel just as natural at dinner, on holiday, or at a summer wedding.

If one jewellery style belongs at Wimbledon, it is tennis jewellery. A tennis bracelet is a flexible bracelet set with a continuous line of stones, usually in a slim, even row. It gives you sparkle without heaviness, which makes it ideal for daytime dressing. 

The style became famous after champion Chris Evert’s diamond bracelet flew from her wrist during a Grand Slam match, stopping play while she looked for it.

Modern tennis jewellery has moved far beyond the original bracelet. You can now choose elegant tennis necklaces, delicate bracelets, matching studs and coordinated sets that feel polished without being fussy. LILY & ROO’s tennis jewellery collection includes silver and gold styles, so you can choose the finish that best suits your outfit.

For classic Wimbledon styling, start with a tennis bracelet. It sits neatly at the wrist, catches the light as you move and looks lovely with sleeveless dresses, short sleeves or a blazer cuff. For more impact, pair it with a matching tennis necklace. If the necklace leads, keep your earrings simple.

Pearls are a natural fit for Wimbledon because they have quiet polish. A single pearl necklace is one of the easiest ways to add elegance to a summer outfit, especially with a simple neckline, tailored shirt or dress with gentle movement.

Freshwater pearls work particularly well because their organic shapes make them feel elevated without looking too formal. Each pearl has a unique shape and slightly different finish, which gives the piece character and softness. That matters at Wimbledon, where very formal pearls can look a little too “afternoon tea with strict rules”.

A single pearl pendant is ideal if your outfit already has detail, such as a print, pleating, texture or a statement collar. It gives the eye one beautiful focal point without adding clutter.

If you are wearing a plain dress or open neckline, a pearl choker can be a stylish alternative. It sits close to the neck and frames the collarbone, which makes it lovely with open-collar shirts, square necklines or simple linen dresses.

Pearls also pair well with gold and silver, so you don't need to make everything perfectly matched. In fact, a little looseness often looks more modern.

Simple chains are a Wimbledon staple because they work with almost everything. A fine gold or silver chain adds a clean line at the neck and can make a very simple dress feel finished. A chain necklace knows how to behave, without getting tangled or caught on anything, which is useful when you are juggling tickets, sunglasses and strawberries.

Delicate chains can also be layered. Layering means wearing two or more necklaces of different lengths together, so each piece sits separately rather than tangling into one block. For Wimbledon, two fine chains usually feel more elegant than a full stack of necklaces of varying lengths.

Your outfit should guide the necklace. A V-neck works beautifully with a pendant or slightly longer chain. A high neckline often looks better with earrings and bracelets instead. An open shirt can take a short chain, pearl choker or light layered combination.

If you are wearing a hat, sunglasses or patterned dress, keep the chain simple. There is already plenty going on, and no one needs their jewellery fighting with a wide brim.

Earrings matter at Wimbledon because they frame the face, but they also need to work with real-life details. Up-dos, hats, sunglasses and warm weather all affect what feels comfortable across a long day of court viewing. Studs are often the easiest choice because they sit neatly and look polished without fuss.

Diamond-style studs are a classic option if you want subtle sparkle. Huggies, which are small hoops that sit closely around the earlobe, are another excellent choice. They feel more contemporary than traditional studs but remain refined.

Small hoops are useful if you want movement without drama. Choose slim, simple designs rather than anything oversized. Simple pearl drop hook earrings can also be beautiful, especially with soft waves, a low bun or an outfit with romantic details.

If your necklace is delicate, you can add more presence with your earrings. If you are wearing a tennis necklace or pearl choker, keep the earrings quieter. This creates a finished look rather than a jewellery pile-up, which is the one doubles pairing nobody asked for.

The best Wimbledon jewellery has a light touch. It should feel elegant, easy and ready for a long day of sunshine, strawberries and scoreboard watching. You want pieces that lift your outfit without stealing centre court.

Think of your jewellery as the final serve. It should be precise, polished and just confident enough to win the point. Explore our collection of modern tennis jewellery to find pieces you'll love all summer, and enjoy a look that feels like game, set and match!
