The small fancy pendants at The Diamond Store feature several designs with beautifully set sparkling and delicate diamonds mounted in white or yellow gold with matching chains.
Often the most expensive diamond cut is the round brilliant which tends to be used for good quality gemstones mounted as solitaire diamonds. The small fancy pendants at The Diamond Store are named because they contain fancy cut diamonds which tend to be less expensive. The most popular fancy diamond cuts are the marquise, emerald, pear, heart, oval, and princess. The marquise cut gets its name from a legend about the Marquise of Pompadour who wanted a diamond to be polished into the shape of the mouth of a Marquise. The emerald cut is a rectangular shape with flat planes similar to steps of a stair. The pear shaped cut is what its name suggests and is a combination of the round and marquise cut. One infamous pear shaped stone is the Taylor Diamond which was given to the actress Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton. The heart and oval shape diamond cuts are pretty self explanatory, while the princess cut is quite recent and is a square rectangular shape with a spectacular sparkle.
Small fancy pendants are very wearable pieces of jewellery. Because of their understated elegance they can be worn with a business suit or little black dress. If you team up one of the diamond pendants on sale at The Diamond Store with a pair of diamond solitaire earring you have a classic set of jewellery which will never date and can be worn time and time again as a set or mixed with a gemstone bracelet set with diamonds and sapphires, emeralds or rubies to add colour.
