Solitaire Pendants & Necklaces

A solitaire diamond necklace is a staple piece of jewellery in every collection. The single diamond gemstone stands alone on a chain typically made of white gold, yellow gold or platinum. Perfect to wear either every day or for a special occasion, a solitaire diamond necklace will always exude elegance and class.

Although a solitaire necklace features a single gemstone, the setting you choose can drastically alter the style. The most popular type of solitaire necklace is with a prong setting, as it offers a chic and sophisticated look while holding the diamond securely in place. A bezel setting is also a favoured and secure choice which offers a more modern look. Lastly, a glamourous halo setting is preferred among those who want to add some extra sparkle with shimmering accent diamonds.

Generally, round and princess cut diamonds are the most popular shapes for solitaire pendants as they offer a classic style that can be worn in both a formal and casual setting. A pear-shaped diamond is also popular and is perfect if you want something a little more unique.

The carat weight you choose for your diamond solitaire pendant will depend on how you plan to wear it. For example, as a casual, everyday piece, we'd suggested choosing one between 0.25-1 carat as this won't feel too heavy or look too large to wear every day. For a statement, occasion piece, you can go slightly larger with 1 carat and above.
