Diamond Necklace

A diamond necklace may make use of a single stone as well as multiples. Designs created from numerous stones provide many options as far as size and color. Of course, even the most simple design of a single diamond on a strand may make use of many different shapes.

A round stone is often viewed as the classic shape for a diamond necklace, earring, bracelet or ring. In fact, round cuts comprise over 75% of all diamonds sold today. Other recognizable shapes include oval, pear/teardrop, princess/square, emerald, trilliant/triangle and heart.

Other cuts which may be used for a diamond necklace are less self-explanatory. The marquis is an oval shape with pointed ends. A radiant takes the shape of an emerald and combines it with the multi-planar brilliance of a round. A cushion cut diamond will have rounded corners coupled with larger facets.
