A tennis bracelet is a staple in any jewelry box worth its salt, but there does come a time when even a classic as timeless as this should welcome an upgrade. British jewelry brand Lylie offers its modern take, featuring a more embellished design than original with clusters of sparkling diamonds totaling 4.9 carats. As standard, Lylie pieces are handmade in 9k salvaged gold using recycled metal from its gold exchange (or from old jewelry that you’d like to remodel), but you can upgrade to 14k or 18k, if you please.
