STYLISH DIAMOND NECKLACES

Diamond necklaces come in many styles and looks. Selecting the right necklace type plays a pivotal role in purchasing a diamond necklace. When looking for necklaces with diamonds, there are quite a number of options to choose from. The basic types are pendant and full necklaces. However, both these types have variations of their own and they come in different styles.

Diamond Pendants

Diamond pendants are very popular because of their elegance, simplicity and cost effectiveness. A diamond pendant is a small setting which hangs from a chain. The setting can be anything ranging from a single solitaire or a heart-shaped intricate design with multiple tiny stones, and the look of the necklace can be changed by swapping out the chain for a different design or style. Heart pendants are especially popular, but the pendant can come in any shape, and the stone can be cut in a variety of styles. These come in various shapes and designs. It can be shaped like any of the alphabets (depending on the person's initials), and also numbers, and hearts. These are a great way to express love and affection towards someone.

The top 5 pendants are-

  • Butterfly pendant
  • Pearl Necklace
  • Glass Heart Pendant
  • Karat Platinum Floating Heart Pendant
  • Filigree Circle Pendant

True Necklaces

In true necklaces the setting is not free-hanging, like a pendant. A true necklace is more expensive, because it requires more stones, since the stones are mostly set all around the necklace, instead of being present only in a pendant. Full necklaces are designed like chokers and chains in a variety of patterns. These are known as true necklaces because of their shape and style. Brides normally use chokers on their wedding day. Chokers vary in size and width. Ornate chokers and collars tend to be more suitable for highly formal occasions. In the case of a collar with a large array of stones, the necklace best complements a woman with a long neck and torso, so that the stones can be laid out elegantly without looking packed into a small space. Such necklaces are worn with low cut gowns, so that the diamonds are seen against the skin.
