Diamond Necklaces

Absolutely, you can wear a diamond necklace every day. 

Extremely durable, diamonds sit at 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making them the hardest naturally-occurring mineral and a great choice for everyday jewellery pieces. A diamond pendant necklace can add subtle sophistication to a sharp black ensemble, while a gold diamond necklace stands out against dramatic hues like dark green or navy blue.   

Like any gem, it’s important to treat your diamond necklace with care to help maintain its beauty. For instance, before stepping into the shower, take off your necklace and put it in a safe place to avoid residue from soaps, shampoos and exfoliants building up on your diamond.

One of the most popular shapes for diamond pendants is the round solitaire pendant. 

A round solitaire diamond necklace is known for its versatility and timeless beauty, providing instant elevation to any outfit. It can be worn as a single diamond necklace or layered with longer chain necklaces to bring added interest to your ensemble.  

The best shape for a diamond pendant for you depends on your personal taste and style. Other popular diamond pendant shapes include geometric-style designs—such as an emerald-cut diamond surrounded by smaller gemstones—along with oval, pear and teardrop shapes.  

If you love the vintage look, an elaborate Art Deco-inspired shape could be ideal. Or perhaps a more personalised and playful-shaped pendant could be for you, such as a heart, zodiac symbol or initial pendant. 

 Looking for something a bit different? A knot, four-leaf clover, or honey bee pendant are all beautiful diamond pendant designs that provide a hint of personality wherever you go.

Whether you have yellow gold, rose gold or white gold diamond necklaces, it’s recommended to give your diamond pendant a clean if you notice any buildup. 

To clean your diamond pendant at home, mix warm water with a few drops of mild dishwashing detergent and soak for a few minutes. Gently brush your pendant with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt or residue, then rinse with clean water.
