9ct White Gold 0.70ct 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 9ct white gold, set with 0.70 ct of natural mined diamonds graded GH/SI. Made from 100% certified Australian gold. The line runs to 90 individually set stones.

Will this suit me?

• Where it sits: At about 46 cm it sits on or just below the collarbone for most people.
• How it looks: 90 natural diamonds, 0.70 ct in total, about 5.2 g: a medium weight that suits everyday wear.
• Everyday wear: The lobster clasp is secure and easy to fasten. 9ct is the harder alloy and stands up well to daily wear. The bright white finish is rhodium plating, which wears with daily contact and can be renewed by a jeweller.
• Other options: Metals: 18ct white gold, 18ct yellow gold.
• Matching pieces: Photographed as a set with the 0.43 ct drop earrings.

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.
