More about yellow gold diamond pendants
What does yellow gold do to a diamond?
Yellow gold lends a trace of warmth to the stone and reads classic rather than contemporary. It suits warm and olive skin tones better than a cool white metal, and it is the setting most often chosen for a piece meant to be handed down.
Is 14K yellow gold solid gold?
Yes — 14K is 58.3 percent pure gold, alloyed with copper, silver and zinc for hardness. Pure gold is too soft to hold a diamond securely. Every piece here is stamped 14K throughout, never plate over base metal.
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.
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.
