Diamond Necklaces & Pendants
When it comes to representing the sentiment and sanctity of your relationship with your partner, there are few items that are as symbolic as a diamond worn close to the heart. A diamond necklace can be incredibly intimate from this perspective, matching the glamour of the gem with an equal warmth and compassion, whether purchased to mark a milestone or chosen for yourself.
Unlike a ring or bracelet, it sits much closer to the eye level, catching light close to the face and drawing the gaze upward, as a fine way of accenting and framing your profile. A fine pendant can sharpen and bejewel a crisp collar that needs to be worn at the office, and also move to an open neckline for dinner or a special event.
Charles Rose has made fine jewellery for more than 100 years, handcrafting our own designs with ethically sourced diamonds in our Melbourne and Geelong workshops. We create pieces that will still feel unmistakably yours decades from now.
Diamond Necklaces
In some designs the stones themselves form the necklace, as with our Diamond Riviera, a continuous line of claw-set round brilliants. Our pearl strands work the same way, while a delicate chain gives a softer impression that sits easily with everyday dressing.
Diamond Pendants
A pendant is a single focal design hanging from a chain, anything from a classic solitaire or pear cut to our signature Arum. Chain length, diamond shape and a bezel or halo setting all change how prominent your pendant can feel at the neckline. If you're looking for a gift that they’ll continue to cherish and endear, a piece they reach for each morning to accompany them throughout their day is a lovely place to start.
FAQ's
Versatility is a large reason, with a diamond necklace sitting as comfortably with a knit and jeans as with eveningwear. Not to mention the significance and grandeur of its gem, its meaning can feel deeply individual to you, whether it bookmarks an anniversary or a personal achievement for years to come.
Not necessarily, as apparent size depends on shape, setting and chain as much as carat weight. A pear cut can look differently to a round solitaire of the same weight, so let your preferences in what you like in your individual piece guide you.
There's no universal best weight, so compare a few stones on the neckline, where proportion is far easier to judge than in the hand.
That depends on the chain, the setting and your day; but we do recommend taking it off for the gym, swimming, gardening, while you sleep, or anywhere it could catch.
We think a well-considered pendant outlasts any single fashion moment, though what feels current or enduring should ultimately come down to a personal choice and preference!
Yes! Of course, we recommend that you check the clasp, chain and claws regularly and have a jeweller look at anything that feels loose.
A diamond necklace is the broader category, and a pendant is one type, where a single design hangs from a chain. Compare a solitaire pendant with our Diamond Riviera, where diamonds line the necklace itself.
