What is a Floating Diamond Necklace?
A floating diamond necklace has a singular sparkling stone that seems to float effortlessly on your chest. The floating illusion is created by using a thin, delicate chain that can hardly be seen to the eye, making it look like the pendant is floating.
If you are looking for a perfect piece of diamond jewellery that you can wear 24/7, then you should consider a floating diamond necklace. Whether you want a small stone or a larger stone, diamond or gemstone, a floating necklace suits anything.
How Do You Style a Floating Diamond Necklace?
So now you know what a floating diamond necklace is, it’s time to learn how to style it! One of the best things about this type of necklace is that they are especially versatile. No matter the occasion or what you are wearing, it will make your outfit look elegant and put-together. Wear it on its own with a formal look and a v-cut neckline to make it really stand out with minimalistic style. Or, wear it every day with casual jeans and a t-shirt to give your daily style an upgrade.
While the floating diamond illusion is most effective when worn on its own, you can choose to give your look a trendy edge by layering your necklaces. Pair your diamond necklace with a choker and a paperclip chain to really pull the look together. However, if you want to nail the floating look, then you should wear it on its own.
You can also pair a diamond necklace with other diamond jewellery to give your jewellery ensemble the ultimate wow factor. For an elegant and classy design, go for beautiful drop earrings and a sparkling tennis bracelet.
Can a Diamond Necklace Be Worn Every Day?
Yes! You can absolutely wear a diamond necklace every day. However, it’s important that you regularly clean it and take it off when you go swimming or hop in the shower. When you take proper care of your jewellery, it can last an eternity.
Yellow or Gold?
A common question is whether you should choose a yellow or silver metal for your necklace chain – but it’s entirely up to personal preference! If you are really after the floating illusion, then we suggest a white gold chain or silver chain. This material enhances the illusion due to the reflective nature of the chain, letting it blend in easier. On the other hand, yellow gold is less reflective and stands out more.
Which Diamonds Are the Sparkliest?
The most brilliant of all diamond cuts is the brilliant round cut diamond. A diamond’s sparkle is produced by light reflections. So to give diamonds their best opportunity to sparkle, facets are cut into them to create angles and opportunities for light to hit the stone and bounce off the surface.
Colour also has a very big impact on the sparkle produced by a diamond. Because diamonds reflect white light, colourless diamonds with good clarity produce the most sparkle. To get the biggest possible illusion, you should try and find a high quality stone.
