How do I choose the right chain?

Consider the weight and proportion of the pendant relative to the thickness of the chain. Lighter pendants require delicate links, while heavier mounts need sturdier chains to distribute weight evenly. Ensure the loop or bail of the pendant accommodates the jump ring of your preferred chain style securely.

What is an old cut diamond?

An old cut diamond is a stone shaped by hand during earlier eras, possessing broader facets and a smaller top table than modern brilliant cuts. These stones were designed to catch candlelight rather than electric illumination. Their distinct proportions create a deeper, warmer glow rather than sharp white fire.

How do I care for my pendant?

Clean your diamond pendant periodically using warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove accumulated oils from the stone. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might affect the surrounding gold or platinum settings. Store the necklace flat in a lined box to prevent the chain from tangling with the pendant.

Can I wear a solitaire daily?

Solitaire necklaces are robust enough for daily wear, particularly when mounted in durable metals like platinum or eighteen carat gold. Bezel settings offer high protection against everyday bumps. Remove the necklace before swimming or heavy physical activity to protect the delicate chain from undue strain.
