When it comes to donning diamonds, there is a world of beautiful and timeless styles to choose from. But why not go for a style that flatters and frames your glittering gems? For the most discerning of diamond lovers, allow us to introduce the illustrious floating diamond necklace.
While many styles of diamond necklaces sparkle and shine, the floating diamond necklace is perhaps the most remarkable. The unique style creates the optical illusion that your diamond is floating on air, freeing it to shine ever more brightly.
Not only does the style set up your diamonds to shine, but it is also versatile enough to dress up or down. So what alluring attributes make up a floating diamond necklace? Let’s dig into the treasure trove that is the distinctions of the floating diamond necklace.
#1 They’re Exquisitely Crafted
Over the years, ingenious jewelers have developed many clever methods of making a diamond appear to float above its bejeweled placement. In order to achieve this stunning look, they may use:
Modern jewelers are continually developing new methods of creating the floating diamond illusion. Styles are becoming more and more spectacular, with diamonds seemingly floating mid-air as pendants, charms, and chains. Because of the design, it can go well with any precious metal, such as yellow gold, rose gold, 14k white gold, platinum, sterling silver, etc. The design also makes any color diamond stand out, whether that's white diamond, gold diamond, black diamond, and any other natural diamond. And if you wear the necklace with other pieces of fine jewelry, they pair well with diamond earrings. For this reason, the floating diamond necklace is one of the most coveted pieces of fine jewelry.
#2 They’re Sentimental
We all know that a center diamond ring is associated with marriage proposals. But what does a diamond necklace or floating diamond pendant necklace say?
While the diamond floating necklace is not associated with any one meaning or occasion, it makes an all-around thoughtful gift for a special day. People may gift each other floating diamond necklaces to commemorate significant events like:
- Graduations
- Holidays
- Anniversaries
- Birthdays
No matter the occasion, the diamond necklace is a sure symbol of love. Indeed, the diamond itself (especially a mystical sort like that of a floating diamond necklace) is a stone associated with:
- Loyalty
- Eternal love
- Purity
- Devotion
- Strength
As the hardest naturally occurring material on Earth, diamonds are gemstones that are so often used to commemorate unbreakable bonds.1
#3 They’re Suitable for Daily Wear
If you have a high-quality and well-crafted floating diamond necklace, there is no reason that you cannot wear it every day. (And once you’ve found a piece that you love, you probably won’t ever want to take it off, anyway.)
A well-made floating diamond necklace can be worn while:
- Showering
- Exercising
- Working
- Watching an episode of your favorite show
- Striking a pose at your latest gala (or in your bathroom mirror)
That said, you may wish to remove your diamond necklace before you go to bed. Particularly if you’re a person who sleeps on your stomach, the pressure of resting atop your floating diamond necklace could lead to damage.
#4 They’re Extremely Versatile
Floating diamond necklaces can come in many forms. They can be styled as a solitaire, or with one singular diamond. They can also have several diamonds laid atop the chain.
Whichever variety suits you best, a floating diamond necklace is versatile enough to be both classic and effortless.
A floating diamond necklace is the best of both diamond-jewelry worlds: it’s sophisticated enough to wear to a black tie event but simple enough to dress up a casual jeans-and-t-shirt look.
If you’re purchasing a solitaire floating pendant, be more discerning about the quality of the diamond. Because the diamond is the focal point, you’ll want to invest in a quality stone. Look for diamonds that are at least VS clarity and F-G color, as they will appear flawless and colorless to the naked eye.
