Features
Packed in a deluxe medium box and holding a spring ring clasp, this gold necklace is fashionable and bears a yellow gold heart overlay around the diamond cross with a valuable gemstone in the middle. The necklace measures 1.35″h x 0.7″w x 18″l with the metallic weight of 4.43g, gem weight of 0.218 carats, and diamond weight of 0.038 carats. Here are the salient features of this necklace:
- 14k Yellow Gold in Pendant: This is a durable and a valuable metal. Because pure gold measuring 24 karats is very soft, it is mixed with other metals such as copper, zinc, silver, and nickel for improving its durability and strength. Weighing 0.27g in the pendant, 14k means consists of 58.3% (14 parts of 24) pure gold, while the rest is composed of four aforementioned metals.
- Natural, Heat-treated Stone: The stone is in the form of a heart that represents love in the mid of cross by sitting inside the heart-shaped gold layer. Similar to the pear shape, the heart-shaped stone differs in terms of a cleft forming the lobes. Such complexity demands skilled cutting, which is well done for this pendant and is reflected via good brilliance. Further, the natural properties of the gemstone add to the beauty, while the heat treatment given to it improves durability as well as appearance.
- .925 Purity of Sterling Silver: Featuring a mix of pure silver and copper, sterling silver in both the chain and pendant has 92.5% silver, while the rest is copper. This is the maximum rating one can get without losing its sparkle.
- 8 White Conflict-free Diamonds with Less blemishes and Good Polish: These diamonds with good polish come with few irrelevant blemishes on the surfaces that are invisible with a naked eye. Similarly, the diamonds use this necklace has a good cut for ensuring a balance between carat weight and cut to reflect most light and offer excellent value for the price. Talking about the color, it is I-J, which means they are next to being colorless although the J rating indicates some tint and more affordable cost than those with high color grades. However, the round precise cut ensures optimal brilliance, maximum sparkle, and most classic shape; rendering one of the appealing diamond necklace designs for women.
