Best Cubic Zirconia Tennis Necklace

At Satéur, a tennis necklace using Satéur Gems® — a premium diamond simulant that goes well beyond standard cubic zirconia — starts at around $88, at roughly 1% of the price of a mined-diamond piece. Every stone is graded D–E colour with an Excellent cut, so the continuous line delivers the diamond brilliance of a fine tennis necklace to the naked eye. Free worldwide delivery, a lifetime guarantee, and the signature Satéur box are standard on every order.

Each piece is hand-set in nickel-free 925 sterling silver, finished in a lasting 18k gold — available in white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. This is a meaningful step up from the thin gold-plated silver chains common in the CZ market, where the plating wears away to expose base metal within months. The 18k gold finish over a sterling silver core bonds durably and leaves no green marks, making it safe for sensitive skin and everyday contact.

Standard cubic zirconia carries a Mohs hardness of around 8 and a low refractive index — meaning the stones cloud, chip, and lose their sparkle with regular wear. Every Satéur stone is a different category: extremely durable, built to resist the everyday abrasion that makes CZ turn dull within a year. Satéur Gems® stay brilliant for life — which is why every piece carries a lifetime guarantee. For buyers specifically comparing round cubic zirconia tennis designs, this lasting brilliance is the decisive factor in long-term wearability.

The cubic zirconia tennis necklace market is dominated by uniform round brilliant-cut designs, and Satéur follows that format — every stone is a precision-cut round brilliant for maximum light return. Standard lengths run 16 inches and 18 inches: the 16-inch sits above the collarbone for a tight, modern drape, while the 18-inch is the most versatile everyday length. Metal options span white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold over silver, covering cooler and warmer skin tones. The tennis silhouette is equally at home as a standalone piece or layered with shorter or longer necklaces for a contemporary stacked look.
