18ct Yellow Gold 0.11ct Diamond Pendant

A pendant is a set stone and a bail, and the relationship between them is the design. The bail carries the weight, holds the stone square, and has to pass a chain of the right gauge without dominating it.

This one is 18ct yellow gold, set with a single natural mined diamond of 0.11 ct graded GH/SI. Made from 100% certified Australian gold.

Will this suit me?

• Chain: Sold on its own; chain not included. The 3 mm bail opening takes most chains up to about 1.5 mm wide. In 18ct yellow gold, try our 1.3 mm cable chain in 45 cm and 50 cm.
• Size: About 19.45 × 8.6 mm overall, set with 0.11 ct of natural diamonds (for scale, an Australian 5c coin is 19.4 mm across).
• Where it sits: On a 45 cm chain it sits on the collarbone; on 50 cm, just below it and clear of a crew neckline.
• Everyday wear: 18ct is softer than 9ct and richer in colour; it wears well day to day with a little care.
• Other options: Metal: 9ct yellow gold.
• Matching pieces: Photographed as a set with the 0.11 ct stud earrings.

Check the bail opening against the chain you intend to use before buying either.
