A diamond necklace should feel inevitable.

Not chosen from a case, but arrived at — the piece that was always going to be yours.

This one features a 1/2 carat lab-grown emerald-cut diamond, SI clarity, G color, on an adjustable 16–18 inch cable chain in 14K gold. The emerald cut was chosen for exactly what it does: instead of scattering light in all directions, it draws you in. Long, step-cut facets create a window into the stone rather than a show on top of it. It's the diamond choice of someone with considered taste.

Handcrafted in the USA. Arrives in a gift box with grosgrain ribbon, already ready for the moment it's for.

Why You'll Love It

• The emerald cut shows a diamond's clarity and character more directly than any other cut — what you see is the stone, not a performance
• 1/2 CT is the sweet spot: present, wearable, and visible without being overwhelming for everyday use
• Lab-grown diamond means the same stone at a fraction of the environmental and ethical cost of mining
• Adjustable 16–18 inch chain means it sits exactly where you want it, and layers beautifully with other pieces
• Arrives in a gift box with grosgrain ribbon — genuinely gift-ready, no extra wrapping needed

The Full Story

The emerald cut predates the brilliant by decades. It was the dominant diamond cut through the Art Deco era, prized for its geometry and its ability to show off large, clean stones. When the brilliant cut arrived and with it the era of maximum sparkle, the emerald cut became the choice of those who preferred something quieter and more assured.

That quality translates beautifully to a pendant. Worn at the base of the neck, an emerald-cut stone catches directional light — sunlight, candlelight, the overhead lights of a room — and holds it differently than a brilliant would. It's a more grown-up kind of beautiful.

The diamond here is lab-grown: 1/2 carat, SI clarity, G color. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to mined diamonds — they're not simulants, not alternatives, just diamonds grown in a way that doesn't require removing earth. For this category of purchase, that matters.

Set in 14K gold on a cable chain that adjusts between 16 and 18 inches, with a spring-ring clasp. Made to order in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real diamond?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds — same carbon crystal structure, same hardness, same optical properties as mined. The difference is origin, not quality.

Why emerald cut rather than round?

The emerald cut reveals the stone's natural clarity and depth rather than maximizing surface sparkle. It's a more considered, architectural choice that rewards sustained attention — the kind of piece you notice more the longer you look at it.

Can I layer this with other necklaces?

Yes — the adjustable 16–18 inch length makes it easy to position as a layer within a stack. It pairs particularly well with shorter chains at 14–16 inches or longer statement pieces at 20 inches and below.

How long until it ships?
