Pendant
A diamond pendant is the most-worn diamond most people will ever own — it goes on in the morning and lives at the collarbone all day, every day. Our 225 designs run from $268 to $6,060: solitaire drops, halo frames, and gold pendants in every register, each stone IGI-certified.
Choosing a diamond pendant necklace
The stone leads: a solitaire pendant on a fine chain is the timeless default, a halo multiplies its presence, and a bezel wraps it for zero-maintenance daily wear. A 14k gold pendant hits the durability sweet spot; 18K deepens the colour. All three gold shades — white, yellow, rose — are made to order.

Diamond pendant carat, bail and chain pairing
Pendants read smaller than rings at the same carat — they hang at conversation distance, not hand distance — so calibrate expectations: 0.25–0.50 carat is the refined everyday zone, 0.75 turns noticeable, and a full carat at the collarbone is unmistakably a statement. If the pendant is a gift, err one step larger than instinct suggests; distance shrinks everything.
The bail — the loop the chain runs through — is the detail nobody checks and everybody should. A fixed bail holds the stone rigid and centred; a hinged bail lets it swing and flash more; a hidden bail (chain threading directly behind the stone) creates the floating-diamond look. Whichever you choose, the bail's opening must comfortably clear your chain's clasp, or the pendant is married to one chain forever.
Diamond pendant FAQs
What is the difference between a pendant and a necklace?
The pendant is the ornament; the necklace is the chain it hangs on. Every diamond pendant here arrives ready to wear — the distinction only matters when you upgrade one half later.
What chain length suits a diamond pendant?
18 inches drops the stone just below the collarbone — the classic pendant position — while 16 sits higher for open necklines. The stone should hang free, never ride the collar.
What is a solitaire pendant?
One diamond, one chain, nothing else — the pendant equivalent of a solitaire ring, and the single most gifted piece of diamond jewellery in existence.
How does a custom pendant work?
You choose the stone size, outline and chain; our workshop builds it to order. A custom pendant costs less than most people expect because the making process is the same as our standard pieces.
Bezel or prong setting for daily wear?
Bezel — the metal rim protects the stone's edge and never snags knitwear. Prongs show marginally more diamond; bezels survive real life better.
How do I care for gold pendants?
Warm water, a drop of dish soap and a soft brush monthly — skin oils dull a diamond's fire faster than anything. A 14k gold pendant needs nothing more for decades.
