I've been eyeing a tennis necklace from Graff and I like the fact that the stones are set closely together, and it has a knot where the necklace branches off into two strands.
However, the price is hard to swallow.
Has anyone seen anything in a similar style? ( I've looked online, checked the various brands and come up empty handed).
Unfortunately I really don't feel comfortable with the local jeweler ( his off putting manner, overcharged massively for a simple repair rather than discussing the price before the work was done like we agreed upon and frankly not impeccable work) , so that's not an option for me.

I'm attaching pictures of the Graff necklace to show what I mean .
Oh and not lab diamonds, they're not mind clean for me.

If you're after diamonds, no gems, you should look at Harry Winston. He was known as the 'King of Diamonds'

In perusing the Graff website, I see that they offer a few different necklaces in this basic style. Can you make an appointment at Graff to view these and try them on? Does this style suit you? Do you think you would really wear it often enough? It might be good to answer those questions before spending too much time and energy in chasing one down.

My opinion regarding lab grown diamonds, is that a necklace like this is a good place to use them. It takes a high carat count to get this look. The Graff look is the Graff look. You may not find it elsewhere and still be happy with it.

The only one I could find that wow was this (there was a 1950s fashion for a similar style) less than half the price

Norman Silverman also has a similar style for half. I think they may make you one in wg (I think it looks better in wg).


Lots of LG Ds as you are aware. Search for diamond 'lariat' 'knot' or 'knotted lariat'.

Agree, I almost responded without reading responses, “lariat, search for lariat!”

I definitely have searched for a lariat but so far haven't been very successful .
Roberto coin have some but not my style and definitely not the combo of lariat and tennis necklace.

I also adore necklaces that are open in front but just don't find them very comfortable on me
Like this style from Boucheron

I did a search for “double lariat diamond line necklace” and got some results online, though not with a 3D knot.

Searching for “diamond knot necklace” also produced some results.

For the second type of necklace, you can search for “diamond torc necklace” and there are plenty of options with different types of opening locations.
