Will this suit me?

• Where it sits: The maker hasn't listed a length for this necklace. Contact us to confirm it before you order.
• How it looks: 1.1 ct in total, in bezel settings spaced along a fine chain. The bezels lie low and flat, so the necklace sits close to the skin.
• Everyday wear: Bezel settings have nothing to catch on a collar or scarf, which makes it easy to wear every day. 18ct is softer than 9ct and richer in colour; it wears well day to day with a little care. The bright white finish is rhodium plating, which wears with daily contact and can be renewed by a jeweller.
• Other options: Metals: 18ct yellow gold, 9ct white gold, 9ct yellow gold.

A bezel setting wraps a continuous collar of gold around the girdle of the stone. It is the most protective setting there is: nothing catches, nothing snags, and the stone cannot be knocked loose from the side. The trade-off is that the collar covers a little of the stone's edge, so a bezel-set stone reads marginally smaller than a claw-set one of the same weight.

Bezels sit low and flat, so the necklace lies close to the skin and nothing stands proud to catch on a collar or a scarf.

18ct white gold is 750 parts per thousand fine gold in a white alloy, finished with rhodium plating. The plating is a wearing surface and is renewable; beneath it the alloy carries a faint warm cast, which is normal for white gold.

Care. The low profile makes this one of the most forgiving necklaces to wear daily.
