About these Earrings

An appraisal is a document stating the approximate retail replacement value of an item. It is calculated using current market data, which reflects typical retail prices. The appraisal includes the cut, color, clarity, and either carat weight for diamonds or millimeter dimensions for gemstones, and the craftsmanship of the item. Your appraisal ensures that in the case of loss, theft, or damage your insurance company will give you an equal replacement of your item. The more information contained in the appraisal, the better chance you have of receiving the exact replacement for that item. Your insurance agency can rely on this appraisal to calculate a coverage rate for your diamond or piece of fine jewelry.

Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Diamond Solitaire Pendants

Understanding Your Diamond Options

Natural vs. Lab-Created Diamonds

We carry both natural and lab-created diamonds, so you can pick whichever fits your priorities. Natural diamonds formed underground over billions of years. Every stone is one of a kind, with its own character and story. Lab-created diamonds are grown in a controlled setting using the same conditions that create natural diamonds. Chemically and visually, they're identical to mined stones.

Both types get graded on the same 4Cs scale (Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat), and both sparkle the same way. The decision usually comes down to what matters most to you: the history and rarity of a natural diamond, or the value and traceability of a lab-grown one. Either way, you're getting a real diamond.

  • Natural Diamonds: Formed over billions of years, rare, each stone is unique
  • Lab-Created Diamonds: Same physical properties, traceable origin, better price point
  • Grading: Both graded identically using Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat
  • Bottom Line: Pick based on what matters to you, not what anyone else thinks

What carat size should I choose for a solitaire pendant?

Choosing the Right Size

For solitaire pendants, size depends on your style and budget. 0.50-1.00 carats is the sweet spot—noticeable without being overwhelming. Smaller stones (0.25-0.50 ct) are perfect for minimalist style or layering. Larger stones (1+ ct) make a statement.

  • 0.25-0.50 ct: Subtle, everyday wear
  • 0.50-1.00 ct: Versatile sweet spot
  • 1.00+ ct: Statement piece
  • Consider your frame size
What diamond shape is best for solitaire pendants?

Diamond Shapes for Pendants

Round brilliant is the most popular—maximum sparkle and hides inclusions well. Oval and pear shapes elongate the neckline. Princess cut offers a modern, geometric look. The best shape is the one you love looking at.

  • Round: Maximum sparkle, classic
  • Oval/Pear: Elongates neckline
  • Princess: Modern, geometric
  • Cushion: Vintage appeal
What setting is most secure for a diamond pendant?

Pendant Settings

Bezel settings are the most secure—the metal rim completely surrounds the diamond. Four-prong settings show more of the stone but require occasional checks. Martini (three-prong) settings are sleek and modern. All are fine for daily wear with normal care.

  • Bezel: Most secure, modern look
  • Four-prong: Classic, shows more diamond
  • Three-prong: Sleek, minimal metal
  • All suitable for daily wear
What chain should I use with a solitaire pendant?

Chain Selection

Match your chain metal to the pendant. For most solitaire pendants, a 16-18" cable or box chain works well. Make sure the chain can support the pendant weight—heavier diamonds need thicker chains. The chain should complement, not compete with, the diamond.

  • 16-18" most versatile length
  • Match metal to pendant
  • Heavier stones need thicker chains
  • Cable and box chains work well
Natural or lab diamond for a solitaire pendant?

Natural vs Lab Diamonds

Both are real diamonds—identical in appearance and physical properties. Lab diamonds cost 30-40% less, so you can get a larger stone for your budget. Natural diamonds carry rarity value. For a pendant you'll wear daily, either is a great choice.

  • Both are real diamonds
  • Lab: 30-40% savings
  • Natural: Rarity value
  • Personal preference

Buyer's Guide

Diamond Pendants Buying Guide

A diamond pendant sits at the center of your neckline, making it one of the most noticed pieces you'll wear. Getting it right means understanding size, setting, and chain pairing. Here's your guide.

Choosing the Right Size

Pendant size should work with your frame and neckline choices:

0.25-0.50 carats: Delicate and subtle. Works with high necklines and layering.

0.50-1 carat: The versatile range. Noticeable without overwhelming.

1-2 carats: Significant presence. Best with lower necklines that give the pendant room.

2+ carats: Statement pieces. Special occasions or bold personal style.

Consider your height and build. What looks proportionate on a petite person might look small on someone taller.

Popular Diamond Shapes

Princess: Square shape with lots of fire. Modern, geometric.

Marquise: Football shape, very distinctive. Vintage appeal.

Setting Styles

Bail Types

The bail connects the pendant to the chain:

Fixed bail: Permanently attached to the pendant. Simple, secure, pendant faces forward.

Hidden bail: Bail connects behind the pendant, invisible from front. Clean look.

Diamond bail: Bail set with small diamonds. Extra sparkle, elevated look.

Swivel bail: Allows pendant to turn. Can prevent chain twisting but may not always face forward.

Make sure the bail opening fits your chain. Some bails only work with thin chains.

Chain Pairing

The chain matters more than most people realize:

Length: 16" sits at the collarbone (choker length). 18" is the most versatile. 20-24" falls lower on the chest.

Style: Cable chains are classic. Box chains are sleek and strong. Wheat chains have a woven look.

Thickness: Match chain thickness to pendant weight. Heavy pendants need thicker chains.

Metal: Match your pendant metal or intentionally mix. Platinum chains are strongest but heaviest.

Quality Considerations

For pendants, prioritize in this order:

1. Cut: A well-cut diamond catches light beautifully at center chest, where everyone looks.

2. Color: G-H looks white and saves money. For white metal settings, don't go below I.

3. Clarity: VS2-SI1 is ideal. The pendant is close enough to see, but tiny inclusions still disappear.

4. Carat: Get the best quality you can afford in your target size range.
