Round Bezel Cubic Zirconia Tennis Necklace with 2.5mm Stones

Each stone in this tennis necklace is closed inside its own round bezel, so the line reads as metal with light threaded through it rather than as a row of exposed facets. The format is deliberately understated.

The "Bezel" Advantage

A bezel wraps a stone on every side. Nothing catches on a scarf or a sleeve, the stones stay put, and the surface of the necklace remains smooth all the way around.

Plating and Base Metal

• Brass base with thick 14k gold plating, or rhodium plating
• Round cubic zirconia, 2.5 mm
• Nickel free

Sizing

• Offered in 15, 16 and 18 inches
• A 3 mm stone version is also made

Fastening

The interlocking clasp joins the two ends without a gap, so the row of bezels keeps an even line across the back of the neck instead of riding up on one side.

Where It Works

It is formal enough to close a wedding neckline and plain enough to wear over a shirt collar on a working day. Because the surface is smooth, it also layers without snagging finer chains.

Keeping It Bright

Rhodium and gold plating both dislike perfume, hairspray and chlorinated water. Wipe the necklace after wear, lay it flat in its box, and the finish will hold its color far longer.
