Danielle Collins Receives Diamond Necklace from Jessica Pegula and Gorjana
Danielle Collins’ Diamond Delight: A Gift from Jessica Pegula and Gorjana
Danielle Collins, the former world No. 7 tennis player, recently received a special gift from her friend and fellow tennis star Jessica Pegula. The gift was a diamond necklace designed by Gorjana, a SoCal-based jewelry designer.
Collins shared her excitement about the gift on her Instagram story, captioning it, “I asked for some diamonds last week and @jpegula and @gorjana delivered 🥰🥹💕.”
Pegula, who is an ambassador for Gorjana, made a special appearance at their store in Palm Desert before her opening-round match at the BNP Paribas Open. It was during this visit that she surprised Collins with the necklace.
Collins, who has announced that 2024 will be her final season as a professional tennis player, has been vocal about her desire for a “24-carat finish” to her career. She has teased fans at the ATX Open who may want to buy her a retirement present, saying, “I’m terrible and I ain’t cheap, baby!”
“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, that’s all I’m going to say. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, so if anyone wants to get me some diamonds, I’m going to take them, honey!” she added.
Collins’ wish was granted by Pegula, who is known for her generosity and support of her fellow players. The necklace is a symbol of their friendship and the special bond they share.
Collins has been enjoying a solid run of form in her farewell season. She has reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and the semifinals of the Qatar Open. She will be looking to add the Indian Wells Baccarat Trophy to her growing collection of baubles.
