Wimbledon-Inspired Estate Jewelry: Green Gemstones, Cartier Enamel & Vintage Elegance

Wimbledon-Inspired Estate Jewelry: Green Gemstones, Cartier Enamel & Vintage Elegance

As Wimbledon takes center court this July, it's not only the players who are making a statement. At Gleim the Jeweler, we’re celebrating the grace, heritage, and elegance of this iconic event with a special selection of jewelry that captures the spirit of Centre Court in dazzling style. Whether you're toasting courtside with a glass of champagne or enjoying the match at a viewing party, this Wimbledon Green edit blends vintage allure with refined modernity.

Why Wimbledon Green?

Green has long been synonymous with Wimbledon’s grass courts, tradition, and its subtly chic dress code. We’ve taken inspiration from this palette and elevated it through rare estate emeralds, rich green enamel by Cartier, and modern Buccellati pieces that speak to sophistication.

CARTIER Fluted Enamel Bracelet (ESTATE)
Crafted in vibrant fluted blue and green enamel over gold, this piece by Cartier exudes mid-century glamour and unmistakable quality. A bold but wearable bracelet ideal for collectors or those who appreciate timeless design.

 

BUCCELLATI Opera Tulle Green Enamel Drop Earrings
