Heavenly London makes some of the best-looking diamond dupes around, and this limited-edition heart-shaped tennis necklace designed in collaboration with Flavia Stuttgen is top of our wishlist.

With crystal-clear stones set into gold-plated metal, this tennis necklace design is a forever classic. Note the adjustable clasp, too (not many tennis designs have this).

If you're going to invest, you may as well go all out on this show-stopper from LA-based mother-and-daughter design team, Shay. The yellow-gold chain is studded with round-cut diamonds totalling 19.9ct. Note the gradient sizing, which ensures the weighty piece sits seamlessly around your neck.

This colourful version of a classic tennis necklace pays homage to the vivid artwork of Kandinsky and Calder – and is simultaneously an art piece in itself.
