Interesting Facts About Diamond Solitaire Pendants......

One of the most famous diamond solitaire pendants is the Hope Diamond which weighs 45.52 carats and has a colour described as “fancy dark grayish-blue”. It has a unique delayed fluorescence which can sometimes make it appear quite dim, but it produces a brilliant phosphorescent look when hit by the light. The diamond solitaire pendant which features so heavily in the movie Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet was modelled on the Hope.

The definition of “solitaire” in the Oxford English Dictionary is a single gem (as a diamond) set alone. When purchasing a diamond solitaire pendant look for a diamond that is near-colorless (I color or better) and has no visible imperfections (SI clarity or better). The bezel setting is the most popular because as the pendant hangs on a simple chain, it does not draw attention away from the diamond. A good length for a chain is sixteen inches as this will allow the pendant to sit quite high on your throat and display it well if you are wearing an open neck blouse or V neck sweater.  Ladies with a slightly thicker neck may prefer an eighteen inch chain.  Also make sure that the chain is durable and has a secure fastening.

A one carat diamond is the ideal size for this type of pendant but it might not suit your budget.  If you choose a smaller stone then you can always make it look larger with a gemstone surround or patterned frame.
