To drill a diamond is a labor intensive process that requires many stops and starts to allow the diamond to rest between drilling as to not break the stone. Once drilled, the diamond—an extremely hard stone—is very secure. We chose a platinum bail to connect the diamond to the chain so that the color of the bail would flow into the stone. The end result is a diamond that appears to float on the chain like a dew drop.

Chocolate diamonds come in a variety of shades that range from light brown to chocolate. This chocolate diamond has a beautiful translucence that accentuates the triangular facets of the tear drop. It has beautiful zoning—visible in the pictures as diagonal lines of color that add another layer of beauty. The diamond is a very pretty pear shape with great proportions. The Rose Cut can be worn with either side of the stone facing up.

The chain is 16” with a lobster clasp. It is marked as Italian 14k gold. The necklace weighs 1.65 grams. The natural Rose Cut diamond measures 4.2 x 6 x 1.5 mm, approximately .2 of a carat.

We have a collection of these floating diamond necklaces in our shop. They look great worn together in a stack! See our 14K Gold Dangling Pear-Shaped Diamond Drop Necklace for a drop necklace with a white diamond. less
