Type of Diamond Necklaces

Whatever your loved one's taste, there is a diamond necklace style for her. You can select from a variety of necklace styles in addition to different diamond shapes and stone types.

Solitaire Diamond Necklaces

A solitaire pendant is an elegant and timeless style. It matches almost everything and consists of a stone set at the end of the chain in a prong setting. The open setting allows a lot of light into the diamond, resulting in a stunning brilliance.

Prong Setting Necklaces

With a solitaire diamond, the prong setting is most commonly used. The prongs that hold the diamond in place are open, allowing the most light in of all the different settings. It can be used with most diamond shapes and comes in a variety of finishes.

Double Bail Diamond Necklaces

Because the chain and hook at the end can easily slide through the bails, the openings in the two bails are large enough to accommodate different chains. The ability to use the same pendant on different chains provides great flexibility by allowing different chain lengths for different styles of clothing as well as different chain styles that can provide variety in appearance.

The diamond is typically prong set in a basket with a flat back, allowing the pendant to lay flat and not roll or twist to one side. Pendant prongs and baskets can be much smaller and less noticeable because they do not withstand physical abuse like a ring on a finger. As a result, a beautiful, sparkling diamond appears to float at the end of the chain.

Single Bail Diamond Necklaces

Some diamond pendants feature a single bail that holds both the diamond and the basket. A single bail increases the possibility that the pendant will flip or twist to one side, but it is a popular choice for smaller stones because it is less noticeable than a double bail.

Bezel Setting Necklaces

The bezel setting is the most common solitaire setting. The diamond is completely encased in precious metal in this setting. In a diamond pendant, the underside is open for maximum light reflection and is frequently combined with a brilliant. It works best with round and oval stones. With the bezel setting, the stone appears larger and is better protected.

Halo Setting Diamond Necklaces

The halo setting, which encircles a center gemstone with round pavé or micro-pavé diamonds. These pavé stones reflect light and draw attention back to the center stone, creating interest and drawing people's attention to your necklace. In a halo setting, a high-carat centre diamond appears enormous. A quarter-, third-, or half-carat diamond can appear as much as a half-carat larger, according to some estimates. So, regardless of your budget, a halo setting diamond necklace gives you more bang for your buck.

In addition to different setting styles, necklaces in 14k rose gold, 14k white gold, 14k yellow gold or platinum are available. Platinum is more durable, but it is more expensive and is not always worth it. 14k gold chains are more durable, less expensive, and still look beautiful.
