Floating diamond pendants can be defined in two ways: the “floating” illusion is given because the chain passes through the actual drop and has no formal attachment; or there is the more traditional meaning of pendants sold by The Diamond Store where the drop has diamonds literally “floating” in its centre.
If you look at the products in The Diamond Store you will see that floating diamond pendants come in either white or yellow gold mounts with matching chains that support open square or circular pendants encrusted with pave set diamonds that have glass window centres encapsulating floating round, crescent moon and heart shaped diamonds.
The origin of the wearing of the crescent moon (or Luna half moon) as a piece of jewellery dates back to Ancient Egypt when it was a symbol of fertility in many religions and meant divine unity. The Greek and Roman lunar Goddesses wore a crescent in their hair symbolising, chastity and birth; and the Virgin Mary sometimes appears with a crescent at her feet with a similar chaste Christian meaning. A crescent moon occurs in the two periods before and after a new moon when the bright part is less than a semi-circle and appears to give the moon “horns”.
Pendants are accessories that are more than just something which fills a space on your neck and chest - they help us express ourselves by highlighting what we like and can be used to enhance our features and attire. Floating diamond pendants are very popular items at The Diamond Store and look particularly romantic with evening and wedding gowns.
