Choosing a Diamond Necklace

When deciding on what type of diamond necklace or pendant to buy, there are several things to consider:

• Shape: Usually one wants to have a pendant in a shape to represent an event or message. This can be a circle to represent everlasting love, a scurve journey pendant, a heart or many other choices.

• One or Many Stones: Sometimes one just wants simplicity. The more diamonds split over a carat weight, the less the overall cost of that carat weight. That is, smaller diamonds cost less than larger diamonds. So a 1 carat large diamond will cost much more than 1 carat spread out between 10 diamonds.

• Stone Combinations: Sometimes one likes to have more than one stone in their necklace. A very popular combination is diamonds and pearls.

Diamond Ceritfication

If you are spending alot on a diamond necklace, you may wish to get a certified diamond. Diamonds are commonly certified by either the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the European Gemological Laboratory (EGL). The GIA certified diamonds are considered much better by the industry -- but EGL certified is better than nothing.

Diamond Storage Tip

Be sure to store your diamond jewelry separately as diamond jewelry may scratch other jewelry (and other diamonds!).
