A diamond necklace sits just below the face, at the most visible point. Chosen well, it lights up the face, flatters the neckline and lifts the whole outfit to another level. In this guide we explain what you need to know about style, chain and carat when choosing a diamond necklace.
Diamond Necklace Styles
Solitaire Necklace
A timeless design with a single diamond floating on a fine chain. Simple enough to wear every day, elegant enough for special occasions.
Baguette Necklace
The modern, geometric sparkle of rectangular-cut stones. A favorite of minimalist style.
Three-Stone (Tria) Necklace
Three diamonds symbolizing the past, present and future. Ideal for those looking for a meaningful gift.
Initial Necklace
Your initial or that of a loved one. A personal, sentimental piece of jewelry.
Coronet and Fashion Necklaces
More decorative, eye-catching designs in shapes such as flowers, crowns and hearts.
Statement and Riviera Necklaces
Pieces that encircle the neck, the showstoppers of special invitations and weddings.
How to Choose the Chain Length
- 40 cm (close to a choker): Sits just above the collarbone; very harmonious with open necklines.
- 42–45 cm (standard): Rests on the collarbone; the most common length for solitaire and initial necklaces.
- 50 cm and longer: Falls to chest level; suits high necklines and layered looks.
Adjustable chains let you change the length for different necklines and make gift buying easier.
Necklace by Neckline
- V-neck: Pendant or elongated necklaces complete the V line.
- Boat neck and strapless: Statement and riviera necklaces fill the space elegantly.
- Turtleneck: Choose long-chain necklaces that fall over the garment.
- Shirt collar: A short-chain solitaire looks very elegant with an open-collar shirt.
Carat and Color
On a necklace, the stone sits further from the eye than on a ring. So even a 0.20–0.30 carat solitaire necklace looks quite noticeable. E and F color grades keep the stone looking white and lively. Designs with black diamonds are also available for those who want a different style.
Completing a Necklace with a Bracelet and Earrings
A necklace, earrings and bracelet in the same design language create a cohesive look when worn together. You can choose matching pieces one by one or pick from ready-made diamond sets. For pieces to accompany your necklace, also browse diamond bracelets.
