18ct Yellow Gold 0.90ct Diamond Necklace

The diamonds are carried along a chain rather than set into a solid collar, so the necklace follows the neck instead of standing away from it.

This one is 18ct yellow gold, set with 0.90 ct of natural mined diamonds graded GH/SI. Made from 100% certified Australian gold. The line runs to 23 individually set stones.

Will this suit me?

• Where it sits: At 45 cm it sits on or just below the collarbone for most people.
• How it looks: 23 natural diamonds, 0.90 ct in total, about 3.2 g: light and delicate.
• Everyday wear: It fastens with a spring ring clasp. 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.

The chain between the settings is doing structural work: fine enough to disappear, strong enough not to stretch between the weights it carries.

Care. Inspect the chain either side of each setting occasionally — those points take the most flex.
