9ct Yellow Gold 0.02ct Lab-Grown Diamond Charm

A charm is a small set piece designed to be added to a bracelet or a chain, carried on its own jump ring or bail.

This one is 9ct yellow gold, carrying 0.02 ct of lab-grown diamonds in total.

Will this suit me?

• How to wear it: Wear it threaded onto a fine chain, or have a jeweller fit it to a charm bracelet. The long links of a paperclip chain or bracelet make a good base for charms. In 9ct yellow gold, try our 3.6 mm paperclip bracelet and 3.6 mm paperclip chain (45 cm).
• Size: 0.02 ct of lab-grown diamond in total: a small, bright accent rather than a centrepiece.
• Everyday wear: The jump ring takes all the movement, so it is the part to check now and then. 9ct is the harder alloy and stands up well to daily wear.
• Other options: Metal: 18ct yellow gold. Total weight: 0.09 ct.

Claw setting holds the stone at its girdle with individual prongs, leaving the sides open so light enters from every direction. It shows the most stone for the weight; the claws themselves are the wearing part and should be checked periodically.

The jump ring is the component that fails first on any charm, because it takes all the movement. A soldered ring lasts considerably longer than an open one.
