Two-Tone Gold Diamond Pendants

Why would a pendant use two colors of gold?

Two-tone lets a design separate the setting from the frame — white gold around the stones so they read bright, yellow gold for the outline. It also solves a practical problem: the piece sits happily with whichever metal is already on the neck or wrist, so it does not have to match.

What is the difference between a halo, a cluster and a solitaire?

A solitaire is one stone on its own. A halo rings a center stone with smaller diamonds, which makes the center read larger and catches more light. A cluster has no single center — the sparkle comes from the group. Pavé sets tiny stones flush into the metal so the surface itself glitters.

What does 1/4 carat mean on a diamond pendant?

Carat is weight, not size. The fractions you see — 1/20, 1/10, 1/6, 1/4, 1/2 — are the total diamond weight across every stone in the piece, not the size of one stone. A halo or cluster spreads that weight across many small diamonds, so it looks considerably larger on the neck than a single stone of the same weight.

Does a diamond pendant come with a chain?

No — these are sold as the pendant alone, so you can choose a chain that suits the piece and your neckline. A chain under 1.5 mm keeps a small pendant the focus; 2 mm and up carries a heavier halo or cluster without bowing. Browse white gold chains, yellow gold chains or pendant chains made for exactly this.

Are these real diamonds?

Yes. Every piece is set with natural diamonds in solid 14K gold, stamped and guaranteed authentic — never plate over base metal. Stone weights are stated as total carat weight on each product page.

How do you clean a diamond pendant?

Warm water, a drop of dish soap and a soft toothbrush around the setting. Skin oil is what dulls a diamond long before anything else does, and it sits underneath the stone where a cloth cannot reach. Take the piece off before swimming — chlorine attacks the alloys in gold, though not the diamond. Store it apart from other jewelry, because a diamond will scratch everything in the box, including other diamonds.
