A single brilliant round-cut diamond, with a total weight of 1/3 carat, is mounted simply and elegantly in a four-prong setting of 18k white gold. The diamond is secured to a V-shaped bale and hangs from a 18-inch cable-rope chain that fastens with a lobster claw clasp. These are fine quality diamonds, with exceptional brilliance. They are near-colorless, with a minimum color rating of H, and appear white to the eye. The clarity rating of these diamonds is Sl1-2, meaning there are small inclusions that can be seen somewhat easily under 10x magnification. These inclusions are not visible to the unaided eye, however, and the diamonds appear clear in the mounting.
The cut, proportions, and symmetry of the diamonds--characteristics which determine their brilliance--are good to very good. Most to nearly all of the light that enters through the table, or top facet, of the diamond will reflect back out, creating the deep brightness, or brilliance, that gives diamonds their special allure. This classic diamond solitaire pendant is the quintessential romantic gift, and it is an elegant and versatile addition to any woman’s fine jewelry collection.
