Difference between Diamond Necklace
Pendant There is a difference between a diamond
necklace and a pendant made from the same
precious stone. But people often find this
confusing, with some even going on to think that
they are the same thing. Necklaces are found in
the form of chains designed with diamonds and
other precious stones. On the other hand, a
pendant is a small piece of jewelry hanging from
a simple chain made of white/yellow gold, silver,
platinum, etc. Pendants together with a simple
metal chain too are considered as a necklace type
but, these are usually not that heavily designed.
A single stone in a basket setting and hung
from a simple metal chain is one of the most
popular designs and is commonly known as diamond
solitaire necklaces. Necklaces can be designed
with a solitaire diamond or with multiple
stones.

  factors, to be considered when buying a necklace.

Diamond Setting Prong setting is the most
popular choice for necklaces as it uses the
least amount of metal. The setting also allows
the most light to enter the diamond, increasing
the sparkle and brilliance. Bezel setting is
among the older styles and a great option for
necklaces. The Diamonds Factory has a wide
collection of necklaces with designs including
prongs, paves, tension, bezels, bars and channel
type of settings.

Metal Color Options White gold, yellow gold and
platinum are popular options for diamond
necklaces. White gold goes well with lighter skin
tones, while yellow gold is paired off with
wheatish or dusky tones. Platinum has a similar
color as white gold, but necklaces made from it
tend to be priced relatively higher. At The
Diamonds Factory, necklaces are available in
10K, 14K 18K Yellow/White gold platinum while
chains for pendants are available in gold but not
platinum.
