Her face is turned toward the ball, a sapphire pendant catching the sun. Coco Gauff walked into the 2026 US Open wearing more than a fresh Grand Slam outfit: a one-of-a-kind necklace bearing a single letter “C” that she helped design herself.
What is the necklace?
The piece is a one-of-a-kind necklace with a sapphire-blue “C” pendant built to be worn both on and off the court. Gauff co-designed it with jeweler Jennifer Fisher alongside Chase Sapphire Reserve, and she has been sporting it nonstop through her practice sessions in Flushing Meadows.

The personal backstory
The meaning runs deeper than a monogram. Gauff says she worked with Jennifer Fisher at 15, so teaming up with Fisher on a piece she helped create feels special. The two began designing the necklace in London earlier this summer, not far from where she reached the Wimbledon semifinals.
Made to be worn on and off the court
Performance shaped the design. The “C” had to stay light and comfortable through hours of tennis while still making a statement, and Gauff says the shade of blue was the detail she cared most about, one that connects the piece to Chase without feeling like a billboard. It is a talisman she plans to keep using daily, not just for match days.
Gauff’s US Open mindset
The New York crowd brings out more personality in her look, and she has talked about staying present and grateful walking back onto courts where she has had some of her biggest moments. The 2023 champion is chasing a second US Open title, and she is not alone in turning her outfit into a statement: Naomi Osaka made waves with her Allen Iverson tribute look in the same tournament, and JENNIE followed the athlete-collab playbook with adidas Originals. Back home, Filipino fans have been tracking the women’s tour closely, with Alex Eala making deep runs in the US hard-court swing.
