If there are pieces every woman should have in her jewelry box, the solitaire necklace is at the top of the list. Simple, elegant and timeless... A diamond solitaire necklace can be worn with the same elegance at the office in the morning, at an evening event or on a weekend coffee date.

Why a Solitaire Necklace?

  • It suits every outfit and neckline.
  • It is suitable for everyday wear and can be worn without taking it off.
  • It works well for layering with other necklaces.
  • It is a gift that fits every occasion, from Mother's Day and birthdays to graduations.

Choosing the Carat

The most popular range for solitaire necklaces is 0.15 to 0.40 carat. 0.15–0.20 carat creates a delicate, minimal effect, ideal for daily wear. 0.25–0.30 carat gives a noticeable sparkle at the neck. 0.40 carat and above stands out as a striking, special piece. The Law Pırlanta collection includes options starting from 0.15 carat.

Color and Clarity

On a necklace, the stone catches light from different angles than on a ring. With their white, lively look, E and F color stones are the most popular grades for solitaire necklaces. For higher-carat stones, you can consider HRD-certified options.

Setting Types

Prong Setting

Holds the stone with four or six prongs and lets in maximum light. The classic and most brilliant option.

Bezel Setting

Wraps the stone in a thin metal frame. Looks modern and protects the stone better from knocks.

Illusion Setting

Creates the look of a large solitaire with small diamonds. A budget-friendly alternative; see illusion-set diamond necklaces for details.

Black Diamonds: A Different Take

Alongside classic white diamonds, black diamond solitaire necklaces are becoming increasingly popular. Offering a modern, bold and mysterious look, a black diamond makes a strong statement, especially with simple outfits.

A Set with Solitaire Earrings

A solitaire necklace forms a classic, flawless set when worn with solitaire earrings of the same size. To match your ring as well, you can complete a trio with solitaire rings.

Care

When perfume and lotion come into direct contact with a necklace, they can leave a film on the stone. Make it a habit to put your necklace on after spraying perfume. Store the chain in a separate pouch so it does not tangle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the stone slide along the chain on a solitaire necklace?

On some designs the stone moves freely along the chain, on others it is fixed. Fixed designs keep the stone centered at all times; you can check this detail in the product description.

Is a black diamond a real diamond?

Yes. A black diamond is a natural diamond that gets its dark color from dense graphite and mineral inclusions. Unlike a white diamond, it offers a metallic luster rather than reflecting light.

Does a 0.25-carat solitaire necklace look small?

No. A 0.25-carat diamond creates a delicate but clearly visible sparkle at the neck. It is one of the most balanced sizes for daily wear.
