The Classic Diamond Tennis Necklace
Fine Jewelry | Made to order
A fine, continuous line of round brilliants around the neck — small, even, and bright. The classic diamond tennis necklace, kept deliberately delicate.
The Piece
One hundred and ninety-seven round lab-grown diamonds run the full length of the necklace, each in a four-prong setting and linked into one flexible line. At 1.80 mm per stone it sits light and close to the neck — a quiet line of diamond for every day.

Designed to Be Lived In
Every Alva piece is made by hand in 14k gold and lab-grown diamonds, and made to order after you place it. It is measured by the years of wear ahead of it, not the moment it was bought.
Care
What's good is worn, not kept safe. A softened edge or a faint scratch is not damage; it is evidence of a life lived in it.
| Wearing it | Put it on last, after lotion and perfume have dried. Take it off first, before swimming, heavy exercise, or exposure to household chemicals. |
| Cleaning it | Clean with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic cleaners on delicate settings and abrasive polishes altogether. |
| Storing it | Store separately so metal does not scratch metal. |
| Professional care | Have the setting checked once a year. White gold may need replating every few years; yellow and rose gold simply deepen in color instead. |

Cared for simply, a piece settles further into a life, and the mark it takes on becomes part of what it is worth.
