More about diamond heart pendants
How the diamonds are set
A single accent stone sits in a prong or bezel at the top or center of the heart and is the quietest option. Pave covers the face in small stones held by tiny beads of metal, which is what makes a modest carat weight read as brilliant. A halo rings a center stone with smaller ones to make it look larger.
Reading the carat weight
Carat is weight, not size, and it is stated per piece â 1/20, 1/10, 1/6, 1/4, 1/2 and up. A pave heart spreads its weight across many small stones; a solitaire concentrates it in one. Two pieces at the same total weight can look very different, which is why the setting matters as much as the number.
White, yellow or rose
White gold is rhodium-finished and reads brightest next to a diamond, which is why it is the usual choice for stone-set pieces. Yellow gold warms the stone and suits a traditional look. Rose gold is alloyed with copper for its color. All three are solid gold, stamped for purity.
14K and 10K
14K gold is 58.3% pure and is the standard for everyday fine jewelry. 10K is 41.7% pure, a little harder and lower in price, and it is stamped 10K. Both are solid gold throughout. The purity is on the product page and stamped on the piece itself.
Common questions
What does 1/10 carat mean on a diamond pendant?
It is the total weight of all the diamonds in the piece, not the size of any one stone. A 1/10 carat pendant might hold one small stone or a dozen smaller ones in a pave setting. The product page states the total weight for every piece.
Is white gold or yellow gold better for a diamond?
White gold is the more common choice because it does not add color next to the stone, so the diamond reads brighter. Yellow gold warms the look and suits a more traditional piece. Both are solid gold; it is a question of taste rather than quality.
What is a pave setting?
Pave means the surface is covered with small diamonds held by tiny beads of metal, so the face of the heart reads as continuous sparkle. It is how a modest total carat weight can look like much more, and it is the reason a pave heart costs less than a solitaire of the same brilliance.
Does a diamond heart pendant come with a chain?
Some do and some are sold on their own. The product page says which, and gives the chain length where one is included. A pendant without a chain lets you choose the length and the link yourself.
What is the difference between 14K and 10K gold?
14K is 58.3% pure gold and 10K is 41.7%. 10K is harder and costs less; 14K is the standard for fine jewelry worn daily and holds a richer color. Both are solid gold, not plated, and both are stamped with their purity.
How do I clean a diamond pendant?
Warm water, a drop of mild washing-up liquid and a soft brush, then rinse and pat dry. Diamonds attract grease from skin and cosmetics, which is what makes them look dull long before anything is wrong with them. Avoid household cleaners and ultrasonic machines on pave settings.
Is a diamond heart a good anniversary gift?
It is one of the most given pieces for an anniversary, and the carat weight stated on each page makes it straightforward to choose within a budget. A single-stone heart suits an early anniversary; pave and halo designs are the usual choice for a milestone one.
