Pendant White Gold

Some insights on diamond pendants and white gold jewelry

Everyone wishes to own diamond jewelry simply because they are the epitome of all forms of embellishments. However, due to the pricy price tags diamond jewelry are known for, many people opt for silver, gold, or platinum necklaces, bracelets, and even anklets, and then accessorize these with diamond pendants. The nice thing with diamond-based pendants is that they can be worn comfortably to both formal and non formal occasions. When you look around you will discover that the diamond pendant white gold is a favorite of the masses well ahead of the yellow gold, platinum, or sterling silver settings. This is simply because white gold has a unique and special way of complementing the colorless hue and sparkling nature of diamonds.

There are several fantastic diamond pendant white gold styles and these include the heart, key, journey, curved heart, ribbon heart, tag heart, cross and circle shapes and peace sign, knot, and medallion styles among others. For all these styles many people go for the bezel setting of the diamond and this is because the white gold collar or rim around the diamond makes the stone look larger in appearance and it also secures the stone thus protecting it from loss or damage. Of course a lot of care and technique is employed in realizing the bezel setting and this is to ensure that the stone is not excessively covered, which would then prevent a sufficient amount of light from going through the stone effectively affecting its brilliance.

One may also like the solitaire diamond pendant white gold setting option. In this setting the stone is held in place by four or six prongs. This means that plenty of light can penetrate the diamonds thus bringing out their fire. The stone is however sufficiently secured as compared to the bezel option. Solitaires work fantastically with single stones because they have a most desirable way of making a stone the centre of focus.

The heart/love shape diamond pendant white gold setting works well with a three-diamond stone theme to clearly bring out the past, present, and future love effect. Journey pendants carry five or seven stones of increasing size, with the smallest at the top and the largest at the bottom of the pendant. The curved heart shape pendant style features one side carrying nine stones of increasing size up to the base. The cross pendant normally carries four stones with one on each arm of the crucifix.

The price of a diamond white gold pendant is largely dependent on the 4Cs of carat, color, cut and clarity. The carat weight of the white gold also comes into play, in addition to the exclusivity of the pendant's shape, size, and the number of stones involved. All these factors mean that the price range is rather wide and thus one can find something enchantingly beautiful which is within his/her budget.
