A white gold pendant, a jewel that fits all outfits and all colors

One of the major characteristics of white gold is its ability to adapt to all colors and materials. Jewelers are particularly fond of it, because any gem can be combined with white gold. In addition, its neutral color allows it to be paired with any outfit, regardless of the shade you choose to wear.

A white gold pendant, a jewel that has become a classic in recent years

Both very stylish and easy to wear in all circumstances, the white gold pendant has become a real classic of jewelry in recent years. It is suitable for all ages and will sublimate with an elegant simplicity the woman who wears it. So, how to choose a white gold diamond pendant?

Choose 18 karat white gold

If you choose white gold, ideally it should be 18 karat. This means that the alloy is 75% pure gold. Remember that 100% pure gold is soft and cannot be worn as jewelry, so 18 karat represents an excellent quality of gold that will not fade over time. 18 karat is the standard for fine jewelry and quality jewelry sold in fine jewelry stores and at the Place Vendôme. So choose 18 karat for your diamond pendant.

Avoid 14 karat white gold

If, for budgetary reasons, you are tempted to choose white gold of lower carats, we advise against it. 14 karat white gold coins are approximately 58% pure gold. This is a piece of jewelry that, over time, may see its initial color fade.

Refuse the 9 carat white gold

Harder, but less solid, less expensive, but much less durable, we recommend that you categorically refuse 9 carat white gold jewelry. It contains only 37% pure gold (half as much as 18 karat gold) which means that after a while, it will lose its shine, oxidize more easily when in contact with sweat and could even develop allergic risks. Even if the offer seems attractive, skip it.

With a yellow gold diamond solitaire pendant, you can never go wrong. Resolutely feminine, it is an exceptional piece of jewelry for the beauty of its sparkle and the elegant simplicity of its hue.

Yellow, the natural color of gold

If it is true that pure gold is naturally yellow, like the imposing solar star that gives rhythm to our lives, it cannot be worked as is. Too soft to be used in jewelry, it must be alloyed with silver and copper (12.5% each). Yellow gold has always seduced the most advanced civilizations, such as the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, and will continue, certainly for centuries to come, to symbolize nobility and wealth.

The sparkling contrast between the sunny color of the gold and the white of the diamond

By combining the timeless elegance of gold with the spectacular brilliance of diamonds, you bring together nobility, prestige and femininity in a single jewel. This combination creates a striking contrast where the stone and the metal enhance each other in a magnificent synergy.

Check that it is 18 carat yellow gold and not 14 carat or 9 carat yellow gold

As experts in the field of jewelry, we cannot recommend enough that you systematically check the number of carats of the yellow gold jewel that is offered to you. Always remember that the hallmark of 18 karat gold represents an eagle's head, 14 karat gold displays a scallop shell while 9 karat gold has a three-leaf clover as a hallmark.

Rose gold is composed of pure yellow gold, copper and silver. Rose gold, with its special reflections, is the perfect setting for a diamond, a marriage between the softness of rose gold and the freshness of a diamond. Life in pink, the ideal color for a diamond pendant for women.

The modernity and freshness of a diamond pendant in pink gold

Rose gold is a trendy color that breaks the traditional divide between white and yellow gold. It is a color quite apart, original, but discreet, noble and extremely modern at the same time. Rose gold blends very easily with a large number of colors and skin tones.

Is rose gold for pendants a fad or will it become a classic?

Still not very popular a few years ago, the use of rose gold for pendants is becoming more and more popular among young designers and jewelry brands. The poetic softness of its color, its brilliant contrast with the whiteness of the diamond seduce the new generations. It seems that this trend is taking hold.

Be careful with 9 or 14 carat rose gold, check that it is 18 carat rose gold

As with yellow gold, always be very careful to make sure that your jewelry is 18 karat. It would be a shame to invest in gold that is not of good quality: you will see it sadly deteriorate over the years.

Mixing diamonds and platinum brings together a couple that has everything to love each other! Like diamond, platinum is an extremely rare and precious material. It is actually 30 times rarer than gold, which makes it a luxurious material par excellence.

The nobility of a diamond pendant in platinum

Platinum has many qualities; in addition to its beautiful and vibrant white color, platinum is extremely durable, its color never fades and it is completely non-allergenic. These characteristics make it a durable metal, ideal if you want to make it a family heirloom to be passed on from generation to generation. It will not lose any of its original beauty as time goes by. However, it is important to remember to maintain your diamond pendant.

Platinum is an expensive metal and more difficult to work with

Platinum is an extremely difficult metal to work. It is this characteristic, coupled with the intrinsic rarity of the material, that makes it such an expensive metal. Combined with diamonds, it represents the epitome of purity, beauty and rarity. But of course it makes the price of the diamond pendant much higher.

Platinum is more popular in the United States and England than in Europe

The Anglo-Saxon countries are the most popular with platinum. Due to a lack of means or tradition, gold remains in the lead in most other countries of the world. In any case, each metal has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Our ultimate recommendation is to let your heart speak for itself when choosing your diamond necklace, it is never wrong!
