Necklaces and pendants: length first

A necklace is chosen first by its length, because that decides where the pendant will fall. At around 40 to 45 cm, depending on the neck, it sits at the base of the neck or just below and stays visible in an open collar. Longer, it goes over a jumper and can be layered with another.

Next, look at how the stone is held. A bezel-set diamond catches neither hair nor knitwear; claws let more light in from the sides. A pendant attached to the chain at two points stays centred. Threaded on a bail, it slides freely, and you can move it to another chain.

A page is in fact devoted to chains. To put a set together, earrings in the same spirit are often enough.

Frequently asked questions

It is better to take it off. A fine chain twists and knots during the night, and soap leaves a greasy film under the stone that dulls its sparkle. Our article on caring for diamond jewellery explains how to clean it.

Yes, because a pendant is worn close to the face and moves with you, which sets the light playing. A bezel setting or a surround of small stones also gives more presence to a diamond of low weight.
