Arina Sabalenka opened the year’s final Grand Slam in New York looking every inch the star and influencer. The Belarusian tennis world No. 1 attracted attention with an extravagant set of jewelry containing more than 127 carats of gemstones.
The necklace, bracelet and earrings are made of 18-karat gold and have a combined value of more than €345,000. The set includes sapphires, tourmalines, garnets, zircons, spinels, chrysoberyls and tanzanites. The necklace alone contains 83.2 carats of gemstones.
Its designers drew inspiration from New York’s multicultural character and energy, making the set considerably more colorful than the jewelry Sabalenka wore at the other Grand Slam tournaments this year.
The US Open appearance followed two other costly jewelry choices. Sabalenka wore a set valued at about €215,000 at Wimbledon and jewelry worth approximately €88,000 in Paris.
