Collection: Waterproof Tennis Chains

A tennis chain is all about the sparkle, a continuous line of stones that catches light with every move. The trick is doing it so the stones stay bright and the setting never fades. That is what this collection is built for.

Each Saphir tennis chain runs a row of VS CZ stones, a simulated diamond cut to sparkle clean and bright rather than cloudy or plasticky the way cheap CZ looks. The stones are set in 18K gold or 925 silver PVD plating over a 316L stainless steel core, so the setting is waterproof, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic. To be clear on the spec, these are VS CZ stones, not lab-grown or mined diamonds, which is exactly what makes the look affordable. Nobody at dinner is going to ask which one it is.

Available as a necklace and a matching bracelet, in gold and silver. Every order comes with a lifetime warranty and a free chain, and BLACKFRIDAY10 takes 10% off your order. All the shine, none of the fade. Check the full ranking in our 2026 buying guide, or compare tennis chain options in GLD alternatives.

          Frequently Asked Questions

          help

          Do the stones on a tennis chain look fake?

          The stones are VS-clarity CZ, cut and set to catch light the same way a diamond does. They read clean and sharp in person, not dull or glassy like a cheap simulant. We'll never tell you they're real diamonds when they're not.

          help

          Can I shower and sweat in a tennis chain without damaging the stones?

          Yes. It's fully waterproof, and the stones are set to stay secure through daily wear, showering, and the gym.

          help

          Is the metal real gold or silver?

          Real 18K gold or 925 silver, applied as PVD plating over a 316L stainless steel core, not solid metal all the way through. Honest build, honest price.

          help

          Will stones fall out over time?

          The stones are prong-set into the chain, not glued, so normal wear won't knock them loose. If a stone or setting ever fails from a defect, it's covered under the lifetime warranty.

          help

          How do I pick the right width?

          3 to 4mm reads subtle and layers well. 5mm and up is the one people notice across a room. Both use the same stones and the same build.

          Will it turn my neck green, or make my skin react?

          No. Every piece starts with a 316L stainless steel core, then gets 18K gold or 925 silver PVD plating bonded to it, not sprayed on top the way cheap costume jewelry is. That bond is what stops it from flaking, fading, or turning your skin green. Wear it every day and it holds its color.

          Can I shower, swim, or work out in it?

          Yes. That's the whole point of building it this way. Saphir is fully waterproof, so you can shower, sweat, and swim in it without it fading or discoloring. Take it off for nothing.

          verified

          Is this real gold?

          It's real 18K gold, just not solid gold all the way through. Each piece is a 316L stainless steel core with real 18K gold (or 925 silver) PVD plating bonded to it. That gives you the look and the durability of solid gold for a fraction of the price, and we'll never call it solid when it isn't.

          diamond

          Are the stones real diamonds?

          No, and we won't tell you otherwise. The stones are VS-clarity CZ, a simulated diamond cut and set to look sharp next to the real thing. We never call a CZ stone a diamond, lab-grown diamond, or moissanite.

          What if it fades, tarnishes, or breaks?

          It's backed by a lifetime warranty against fading, tarnishing, and defects in materials or workmanship. If yours ever lets you down, email support@shopsaphir.co with your order number and we'll make it right.

          What’s your return policy?

          If anything is wrong with your piece (a defect, the wrong item or size, or damage in transit) we make it right on us: a prepaid label and a replacement or full refund. If it's simply not the one for you, you have 14 days from delivery to send it back for store credit or exchange it for another size or color. You cover the return shipping, it comes back unworn in its original packaging with the free chain, and we ask for a few photos and a quick note on what didn't work so we can point you to a better fit. Email support@shopsaphir.co with your order number to start.
