pear shape diamond pendant

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to our By Bonnie blog, where we talk about all things diamonds! Today, let's shift our focus to something that's sparkling beyond the diamonds on my fingers! Behold, a new radiant diamond on the list - a 5ct pear shape diamond solitaire pendant

This remarkable piece has been on my personal wish list for a while, but one of my clients managed to snag it before I did. She initially inquired about a 5-carat pear-shaped diamond ring, but then the creative spark ignited, and we transformed it into a captivating pendant. 

Join me as we delve into the intricate details and masterful craftsmanship that goes into perfecting such a timeless and elegant design. And trust me, the simpler it is, the more challenging it is to get it just right.

5ct Pear Cut Diamond Pendant Necklace

When it comes to pendants, we’ve done some before with beautiful shaped diamonds. For example, we created a solitaire round bezel pendant shown here.

Another exquisite one we made was a full-on red carpet pear-shaped necklace that you can check out on my channel. And with this specific necklace, we went all out with a whole row of pear shapes, and a dazzling two-carat stunner at the heart.

I've designed this pendant to be sleek and seamless. There's no bulky metal messing with the beauty of the stone. And guess what? You can switch up the vibe by sliding different chains through here. If you're feeling a thicker chain for a bold statement, go for it! Trust me, it adds a touch of movement that's all about elegance and that extra sparkle. It's like a mini fireworks show every time you move and catch the light.

Now, let me spill a little secret, this is what we call "quiet luxury". You might be wondering, what's that? Well, it's like a subtle whisper of opulence. You know, no shouting, no fuss, just a touch of pure elegance that speaks volumes. 

And I've got to admit, even with my petite frame, I'm secretly dreaming of going for a 10-carat wonder someday! But let's stick to reality here, this five-carat beauty is absolute perfection. It's all about finding that sweet spot of elegance and sophistication that suits you like a glove.

Choosing The Perfect Length For A Diamond Necklace

Currently, this stunning piece is gracefully suspended on an 18-inch chain, and let me tell you, it's like the Goldilocks of necklace lengths. Why, you ask? Well, it's all about finding that sweet spot where it's not too low or high, but just right. You see, this isn't quite a choker-style necklace, and you definitely want to avoid it hanging too low where the stone might hide away.

Now, let me give you a little insider's tip. The typical length for a pendant necklace like this falls in the range of 16 to 18 inches. These lengths nestle right around your collarbone or sternum, creating the perfect backdrop for a diamond to work its dazzling magic. And here's the thing, it depends a bit on your height, neck length, and personal comfort. But if you're asking for a recommendation, I'd say the 16 to 18-inch range is a surefire winner for this style!

As for me, I love the 18-inch length of this pendant. It's just perfect – not too high, not too low, just that ideal level where the diamond shines like a star. I've paired it with some stunning eternity bands and a dazzling diamond bracelet. And here's the beauty of it all, you can rock this pendant with anything from your favorite jeans and top to a glamorous evening dress.

The possibilities are endless, making this pendant the ultimate versatile piece in your collection. So, whether you're aiming for a casual chic look or dressing to the nines, this pendant has got your back (or should I say neckline?). There are so many ways to rock this beauty, and the choice is all yours!

Natural Vs. Lab Diamonds: Which is Better?

Nowadays, the world of diamonds offers you a splendid choice, whether you're leaning towards natural or lab-grown diamonds. When it comes to a captivating piece like this, where the carat count is singing high notes, you might find the idea of a lab-grown diamond quite alluring. And you know what's great? There's no right or wrong choice here, it's all about what resonates with you.

Speaking from a practical perspective, going for a lab-grown diamond for a showstopper like this pendant can be a smart move if you're also keeping a watchful eye on your budget. With a larger carat size like this, it's an option that offers you more diamond goodness without having to stretch your wallet to the moon. Plus, the process of selecting a lab-grown diamond is fascinating in itself, so it's well worth exploring and considering.

And let me tell you, this pendant, whether adorned with a natural or lab-grown diamond, is a fantastic addition to your style arsenal. Imagine the playful ways you can layer it with other pieces in your collection, creating unique combinations that express your personality and mood. As for me, I'm currently swooning over the clean and unadorned look; it's like letting that stunning diamond do all the talking. So, no matter your choice, embracing the brilliance of this pendant is bound to make a striking statement in your jewelry wardrobe.

Selecting The Ideal Ratio For A Diamond Necklace

For those of you curious about the magical numbers of length-to-width ratio, let's dive in! When it comes to creating a pendant or necklace with the mesmerizing pear shape, we're all about those elongated ratios, like the classic 1.6 and even beyond. Why? Because it's like adding a touch of elegance to every sway or hair flip – the pear's teardrop dances with you!

Now, let's talk about rings. While some of our fabulous clients lean towards a chubbier vibe for their rings, when it comes to pendants, a longer ratio is totally our jam. It's like the pendant's way of saying, "Hey, I'm here to shine without stealing the show." So, whether it's rings or pendants, we're all about finding that sweet spot for each piece to really make it sing!
