FAQ

A solitaire diamond pendant is a necklace featuring a single diamond at the end of a metal chain. The stone is attached to the links by a small metal bail or two. It's fastened to the gallery with prongs or embedded in a circle of metal (typically sterling silver or gold) called a bezel. The diamond itself can be round, oval, emerald-cut, princess-cut, or marquise-shaped.

With a solitaire pendant, a single stone is attached to the metal chain. Elevated solitaire pendants (sometimes referred to as "solitaire plus") also have a main gemstone hanging from the chain, but it's accompanied by additional smaller stones. The most common multi-stone arrangement is a central diamond surrounded by a halo of tiny stones. But solitaire pendants come in a wide array of designs.

It's all about the style you're going for and, of course, your budget. Smaller diamonds (1/2 to 1 carat) have a delicate, understated look. Mid-sized diamonds (2 to 3 carats) provide balance and a more substantial appearance, with equal emphasis placed on the stone and the links. Large diamonds (up to 5 carats) make a statement, drawing all eyes to where the stone sits.

Yes. Despite their delicate look, Gilded's solitaire diamond pendants are remarkably durable. Both the metal that holds the stone and the bails that connect the setting to the links are designed for daily wear. Diamonds are among the hardest materials on earth (the lab-grown variety is just as hard and scratch-resistant as mined ones). Only another diamond could leave a mark. You can safely wear your necklace every day, as long as you adhere to general jewelry care instructions.

Yes, all lab-made diamonds from Gilded are authentic diamonds, including solitaire pendants. Diamonds created in a lab are just as real as the natural diamonds found in mines. They're physically, chemically, structurally, and optically identical.

All solitaire pendants have a similar silhouette, especially when viewed from farther away. So, the decision comes down to personal preference. Some prefer classic brilliant-round or pear-shaped stones, while others like the modern flair of a marquise-shaped bezel-set diamond. For many, the biggest decision is the metal. Yellow gold necklaces add warmth; silver necklaces look clean and cool.
