Necklaces can be designed and set with a solitaire diamond alone or with multiple stones. The solitaires ones are very classic, trendy and are part of any jewelry collection. The most common metals used to design them are gold (yellow or white), silver or platinum. Some jewelers often design diamond necklaces pendants with other precious stones. It is all about personal choice and preference.

For a wonderful present for your loved one, consider a pendent to get some bang for your buck.

You may also consider diamonds, which come in all sizes to fit all budgets.

Woman now have many choices in selecting pendants set with either a solitaire diamond piece or a combination of multiple 3 to 5 stones. The 3 stones of equal or graduating size sit in succession along the pendant, or in a group. The 5 stone lockets are fashioned in similar styles, but with more gems.

Many diamond necklaces pendants are also designed with multiple small cut stones - diamond cluster pendants - that show a style mimicking the diamond solitaire designs. You get not only an exquisitely fine appearance with these, but cost savings as well in comparison to a pendant made with a solitaire diamond alone. This is because a solitaire of the same diamond weight will be more expensive in the same quality than several diamonds of the same total weight.

Always buy quality diamonds that are above H/I color and SI2 clarity. All jewelers provide the appraisal and certificate of authenticity along with any purchase of diamond pendant necklaces. It is important to note that diamonds are appraised in value by gemologists by the four 'Cs' factors: Cut, Clarity, Carat and Color.
