Kinn and Prince launch tennis-inspired jewelry ahead of Wimbledon

Tennis jewelry rarely feels this considered. Kinn Studio and Prince Tennis have taken the sport’s polish and recast it into a three-part fine jewelry collaboration that reads less like a courtside novelty and more like a wardrobe system, with shield motifs, chain-link elements, pavé detailing and graduated stones carrying the design language.

The rollout is built around the tennis calendar, not a generic drop date. The first release arrived on May 18 to coincide with the French Open. A second drop is scheduled for June 11, timed to Wimbledon, and the final chapter lands Aug. 18 for the U.S. Open. The wider Kinn Studio x Prince Tennis program also extends into apparel and accessories, a move that gives the collaboration a lifestyle framework rather than treating the jewelry as a standalone stunt.

That matters because the pieces are priced like serious jewelry, not souvenir merchandise. WWD reported the collection ranges from $960 to $8,520, a spread that places it firmly in the fine jewelry tier, where buyers expect both material substance and design coherence. The line’s shield shapes and rounded forms keep the tennis reference legible without drifting into costume territory. Instead of literal rackets or balls, Kinn and Prince leaned into texture and structure, which makes the pieces easier to wear with a white shirt, a blazer or an everyday chain stack long after tournament season ends.

Jennie Yoon said the collaboration let Kinn move beyond a traditional tennis campaign and blend precision with ease, a fitting description for a brand that says it was founded after her parents lost antique jewelry in a robbery. That origin story has long anchored Kinn’s focus on modern heirlooms and pieces designed for daily wear, and the Prince partnership extends that mission into sport-coded jewelry with more polish than gimmick. Prince, meanwhile, has been building its identity around performance and style since 1970, and Authentic Brands Group said the collaboration had to feel authentic and culturally relevant.

Kinn marked the launch with an early event at its West Village store, 373 Bleecker St. in New York, on May 16 and 17 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., giving the collection a retail setting that matched its positioning: not just tennis-inspired, but ready for the everyday luxury customer who wants the reference to be subtle, the craft to be visible and the styling to work far beyond the baseline.
