Q: What is the most popular metal used in Solitaire Necklace settings?

Friendly Diamonds offers diamond solitaire pendant necklaces in four metal variations: yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and platinum. For diamond pendants , many people mostly choose yellow gold, as it is a classic choice that complements people of every complexion, gender, and age. The second-best choice that our customers go for is platinum, as it has hypoallergenic properties that do not cause irritation to skin and the sheen of platinum adds a much-needed touch of glamour that we all crave. Apart from these two metals, you can choose whichever metal hue you resonate with. Because you will always feel the best when you have customized your jewelry as per your taste.

Q: How do you determine the appropriate length and carat weight for a Solitaire Necklace?

Solitaire necklaces usually give a sophisticated look in an understated manner. Since size and carats are interrelated, the solitaire in these necklaces can vary from 0.50 to 1 carat and even more depending on your preference. The length of the solitaire necklace can also depend on how you like to style it. The length of such necklaces ideally ranges from 14 to 20 inches. 14 inches fall somewhere around your neck, and 20 inches fall somewhere near your collarbone and chest. If you are someone who prefers for the chain to be only a little longer than around your neck, you can opt for 16 to 18 inches of length as well.

Q: What is the difference between a Solitaire Necklace and a Tennis Necklace?

A solitaire necklace consists of a single diamond at the center of the chain with an impactful sparkle. A tennis necklace, however, differs in its design altogether. A continuous strand of diamonds is encrusted in the necklace for an elegant and classic look.
