Tennis legend Serena Williams has ‘evolved’ away from the sport last month. After being a part of professional tennis for more than two decades, she called it off with 23 Grand Slam titles to her name and also broke several long time records. Although she might look fierce on court, she does have a soft corner when it comes to her friends and family. As she has a unique jewelry line, she loves gifting her friends precious items from her collection that hold significant meaning.

Recently, she shared a beautiful neckpiece from her jewelry line on her social media that she gifted a dear friend. Notably, the 41-year-old is determined to succeed in her business endeavors after retiring from tennis. She has her own clothing line, a jewelry line, and a venture capital firm.
