How do I wear a white gold diamond pendant?

These versatile pieces suit everyday wear when chosen as a simple solitaire or small cluster, while larger Art Deco drop designs work well for evening occasions. Matching the chain metal precisely to the pendant ensures a cohesive look when hanging against the skin or clothing.

What periods do these pendants come from?

The available selection spans Victorian, Edwardian, Belle Epoque, and Art Deco eras, alongside 1950s and mid-century modern examples. Each period brings distinct mount styles, from celestial starbursts to geometric halos.

Are coloured gemstones common in these pendants?

Many designs combine diamonds with rich sapphires, rubies, aquamarines, peridots, and amethysts, often arranged in colourful halo or cluster formations. These coloured stones provide a striking contrast against the pale backdrop of white gold and platinum.

How do I tell an old cut diamond from a modern one?

Older diamond cuts feature distinctive hand-cut facets with smaller tables and deeper pavilions, optimising sparkle under ambient light rather than direct electricity. Examining the stone under magnification reveals the characteristic open culet at the base of the diamond.
