The Different Forms of Diamond Necklaces

When someone wears a necklace containing one or more diamonds, they are truly making a statement about their personal style and tastes. Did you know that when it comes to diamond necklaces, there are several different forms or types to choose from? If you stop to think about it, you will realize that there are necklaces with a pendant containing diamonds that are classified as diamond necklaces just as there are chains which contained linked diamonds as well.

The Pendant

The pendant form of diamond necklaces consists of a chain made from your choice of materials like sterling silver, yellow gold, white gold or even platinum along with the pendant that can easily slide on the chain. This pendant can take on a variety of shapes as well as sizes so you might find a pendant with diamonds shaped like a flower or something simpler like a single solitaire.

In terms of diamond necklaces, those with pendants are more versatile because you can remove them from their chain and place them on others which are appropriate if you have different chain lengths for different clothing occasions. In addition, the pendant is more affordable than a chain made up of diamonds linked together in some way.

The Chain Links

The diamond necklaces not in pendant form are those that appear to be one single chain of the sparkly stones. The only drawback of these necklaces is that the chain is not adjustable or interchangeable so you have to be happy with the length and where it lays on your chest in terms of your clothing.

There are a variety of different diamond necklaces to choose from and each is chosen according to your specifications and taste. For example, there is the diamond bezel necklace in which single bezeled diamonds appeared throughout the length of the chain and not necessarily all together. Another type of necklace produces a simply stunning (and expensive) work of art and consists of a continuous row of diamonds in a three prong setting that appears to be the chain itself.

Of course, there are also diamond necklaces which consists of mostly chain from the clasp but attaches to a row of diamonds or some other diamond design where it would be displayed prominently in the front, around the chest or open collar area. There are simply thousands of different diamond necklaces to choose from in both pendant and chain link type of design, so it is important to shop around first and even try some on in order to get the perfect fit for you.
