All about the white gold diamond pendant

Known for its exceptional character, the diamond never ceases to turn heads and remains an essential stone for jewelry lovers. There is a wide variety of them, justifying the fact that it is often difficult to find one's way around. Among the models, colors and shapes available, the white gold diamond pendant remains timeless. Easily adorning a woman's neck, it reflects love and softness and enhances any outfit.

When it comes to choosing a diamond, several criteria must be taken into account to ensure that you get a good quality stone. The 4 C's of diamonds is an international grading rule that cannot be ignored.

The 4 C's criteria: Clarity, Carat, Cut, Colour

In English, the 4 C's of diamonds are equivalent to the words Carat, Colour, Clarity and Cut. In other words, weight, color, clarity and cut. This classification method aims to establish a harmonization and standardization of the qualities of a diamond at the international level.

The carat to measure the weight of the diamond

The carat is the primary criterion for diamond grading, corresponding to a weight of 0.2 grams. This unit of measurement is considered to be more accurate than the gram. It is closely related to the size of the stone. It is no longer necessary to recall that the greater the weight, the larger and more expensive the diamond.

The color of the diamond

When we talk about the color of a diamond, we are referring more precisely to its hue and not to the color as one would be tempted to think. The whiter a diamond is and therefore the more colorless it is, the higher its price will be. White is indeed a sign of rarity and purity. At the international level, the diamond color scale includes 23 shades of white, classified from D to Z. The D designates a perfectly white diamond while the Z represents those of light yellow, gray or brown color. The experts and gemologists who certify the stones are the only ones able to appreciate these different shades.

Purity

Diamonds with few imperfections are rare, which explains their high prices. These imperfections refer to inclusions in the core of the structure that are related to its formation. Inclusions can take many forms, including crystals, stripes, clouds and air bubbles. Most impurities are not visible to the naked eye and do not affect the brilliance of the stone. In order to determine the purity of a diamond, a magnifying glass with a magnification of about 10 should be used.

The quality of size

Diamonds come in many geometries, which enhance their brilliance. The most commonly used in jewelry are the round and princess cuts. Of the four criteria for classifying diamonds, this is the only one that is related to human work. The cut depends on the angles and proportions of the stone, which allow for a certain reflection of light. A poor cut may not bring out its brilliance enough. When the gem is well cut, the brilliance is optimal. Conversely, a cut that is too flat or too thick will not allow the diamond to reflect light optimally, which will affect the brilliance of the diamond.

Which diamond color to choose for a man or a woman?

Contrary to what one might think, diamond pendants are not only for women. Men can wear them as long as they know how to combine the choice with the person. Men's ranges with a line for men of character, are therefore found in diamonds. For a man, the jewel is often worn on a ring.

The diamond rings to offer in marriage

Giving diamond rings is a custom among couples and brides-to-be. The gift can be made on the occasion of an anniversary, engagement, the arrival of a child or other occasions. In the context of marriage, lovers particularly like to wear diamond rings that look alike. While the woman's ring will be rather light, fine and worked, the man's ring will be more robust, massive and sober.

Diamond color for women

On a woman, the choice of diamond color is wide. In recent years, pink diamonds have become very popular. But the nobility and cachet of the white diamond also remain a timeless and safe bet.

Diamond color for men

Men are particularly fond of diamond rings, which allow a multitude of customization, both in shape and color. The most classic is the black diamond ring that reflects love, strength and mystery. The combination with classic white diamonds, on the other hand, gives a wonderful manly mix. But in recent years, the brown diamond has become more and more fashionable, although it does not yet have the aura of the black diamond. Often compared to champagne, the unique color enhances the diamond and makes it inimitable. Nevertheless, white remains a timeless color, whose purity and brilliance are still a symbol of love and passion.

The choice of the alloy that will enhance the diamond is also important. So, between white, yellow and rose gold pendants, which one should you choose?

Yellow gold is more traditional while white gold is more modern on a jewel

Between the yellow gold pendant and the white gold pendant, the first is cited as being more classic and traditional. Conversely, white gold is currently more popular, showing a certain modernity and more discretion.

The traditional charm of a yellow gold pendant

A yellow gold diamond pendant has a classic, feminine charm. It embodies the natural color of gold. The yellow gold pendant has particularly seduced advanced civilizations. A sign of nobility and wealth, it particularly conquered the ancient Greek and Egyptian peoples. The yellow gold pendant has the ability to combine prestige, nobility and femininity in one piece of jewelry. The combination of gold with the spectacular brilliance of diamonds creates a striking contrast, with a mutual enhancement of the stone and the metal.

The white gold pendant, for a more modern elegance

Despite its name, white gold is actually an alloy that mixes other metals such as silver or palladium with pure gold. It is this very association that constitutes the particularity of the pendant by its color and its brightness. The white gold diamond pendant is most appreciated for its timeless beauty and rich reflections. It is the ideal choice for the man or woman who prefer more modernity. It also has the advantage of being easily matched to all outfits and colors. It is for this reason that it is particularly appreciated by jewelers. A white gold pendant highlights both the outfit and the skin tone of the person wearing it. Its ability to adapt to all circumstances in addition to the touch of elegance it confers, make white gold pendants considerably popular in recent years. What's more, it's suitable for all ages. If you decide to opt for a white gold pendant, make sure that the gold content is 18 karat, representing 75% pure gold.

Besides yellow and white gold pendants, rose gold pendants are also an excellent choice for those who want to add a touch of glamour to their outfits. While for a long time rose gold was not very popular, it is now being used by more and more designers and jewelry brands. This is due to the softness of its color and the brilliant contrast it brings out with the white of the diamond. Rose gold is composed of pure yellow gold, copper and silver and has a special shimmer. Once again, this perfect marriage between the softness of the fresh sparkle of the diamond and the softness of the rose gold is ideal for adorning a woman's body. It has the advantage of getting off the beaten track of the classic yellow gold/white gold divide. The rose gold pendant is a very special color that is both original and discreet. It goes very well with a wide range of colors and skin tones.

Despite the amount of choice available, the white gold pendant remains a truly timeless piece of jewelry.
