DIAMOND

SOLITAIRE PENDANTS

A diamond solitaire pendant is a piece of jewelry with a single diamond, typically set without any other accompanying stones, suspended from a chain.

When seeking a pendant suitable for daily wear, it is advisable to consider a diamond carat weight of 0.50 to 1.50 carats. Notably, the favored diamond size for a solitaire necklace predominantly falls within the spectrum of 3/4 to 1 carat for most wearers.

While round brilliant cuts are the most popular due to their maximum sparkle, other shapes like princess, pear, and oval cuts are also chosen based on personal preferences.

The ideal chain length often depends on personal style and the neckline of the clothing with which you intend to wear the pendant. Typical lengths are 16", 18", and 20". As for the type, box, cable, and rope chains are popular for their durability and aesthetics.

Popular metals include white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum. The best metal often depends on personal preference, skin tone, and any other jewelry you plan to wear with the pendant.

Research retailers that offer conflict-free diamonds or those certified by the Kimberley Process. Many reputable jewelers are committed to ethical sourcing and can provide information on the origin of their diamonds.
