Understanding This Piece
About the Natural Diamond
Natural diamonds form deep within the earth over 1–3 billion years under extreme heat and pressure — making each stone genuinely irreplaceable. Diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale (the hardest natural material on earth), so they resist scratches better than any other gemstone and are uniquely suited for daily-wear jewelry. Every natural diamond we sell over 0.50ct ships with a GIA or comparable independent grading report documenting its carat weight, color, clarity, and cut precision. Natural diamonds hold their value over decades and carry strong heirloom resale demand.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
About Pendant Necklaces
A pendant necklace consists of a chain (the carrier) and a pendant (the focal piece that hangs from it). The pendant typically attaches via a bail — a small metal loop that allows it to slide along the chain. The most popular pendant categories are diamond solitaires, gemstone-set pendants, symbolic motifs (heart, cross, infinity, initial), and lockets. The chain should be matched in metal and weight to the pendant — a substantial pendant pulls against a thin chain over time, so we pair every pendant with an appropriately weighted chain at point of sale.
