Below, the athlete opens up more about the design process, her love of accessories and the most sentimental piece from the Serena Williams Jewelry collection.
Serena Williams: Whether on or off the court, I love to wear jewelry that empowers and makes me feel confident. That’s why this collection is so personal. It carries my philosophy of self-love, empowerment and strength. I wear pieces that match my mood or how I am feeling that day. And if I’m doing something active, I love the “Believe Be Great” statement designs with sparkling sayings like “Believe,” “Queen” or “Loved” that [serve as] a reminder to be yourself. The statements are simple, yet powerful and help me feel that energy.
