Diamond Necklaces

Every diamond necklace in this collection is set with natural diamonds. DEEVE states this plainly rather than leaving it to be assumed. These are accent-set stones, so no certificate is offered for them. DEEVE's lab-grown pieces — the diamond stud earrings, tennis bracelets and engagement rings — are listed and described separately.

No. These are natural diamonds, and DEEVE does not sell them with a diamond certificate. That is a deliberate distinction from our lab-grown pieces, where an individual IGI certificate is recorded per piece and stated on its listing — the two should not be confused.

Carat behaves differently at the collarbone than on a hand. The pieces here run from 0.05 to 0.49 carats total, and at that scale cut and setting do more for brightness than weight does — a bezel or prong that lifts the stone will out-sparkle a heavier stone set flat. Choose the setting and motif you want to see every day, then let carat follow.

A pendant gathers the diamonds into one motif — a bar, a heart, a chevron, an open circle — and reads as a single deliberate point at the collarbone. A station necklace spreads the stones along the chain itself, usually bezel-set so nothing snags. Pendants make the stronger statement worn alone; stations sit more comfortably under a collar and layer more easily.

Yes, and these are built for it. Bezel settings enclose the stone's edge so there is nothing to catch on clothing, and prong settings here are low and rounded. Solid 14K gold has no plating to wear off. The practical advice is to put jewellery on last, after hairspray and perfume, and to take it off before swimming in chlorinated water.

Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush along the back of the setting, where skin oils collect and dull the stone. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners on pieces with included stones. DEEVE's in-house workshop will clean and check the settings at any point under the lifetime warranty.
