Our Best Diamond Necklaces And Pendants
Everybody likes to wear pendants and necklaces. At All Diamond, we have a range of over 500 different styles and designs of diamond necklaces and pendants, from less than £200 to over £80,000!
But what makes a go-to necklace or pendant? How do you choose a pendant, a choker, a chain necklace or a tennis necklace? Then there are the gemstones. Do you go for a diamond only design, or look out for a design featuring emeralds, rubies or sapphires alongside the sparkling white diamonds?
We were kicking some ideas around the office a few days ago, and we thought we would share some of our favourites with you. We each chose one piece and did not take note of the cost of each item, although it has to be said that higher-priced items did do rather well –of course, you would expect that. If you love a style, we share today but it is right out of your budget, have a look at our collections. You may find a more budget-friendly version of a favourite design, perhaps with fewer or smaller gemstones, but that still carries the intent and excitement our designers wanted to inspire.
So, what did our motley crew come up with?
1) A round diamond chain necklace with 4.40 carats of diamonds on a 42" white gold chain.
£8,244.00
This charming necklace with 22 brilliant round diamonds in lovely rub over settings will undoubtedly turn heads. The necklace will add that final touch to your ensemble and surely win you admirers. The necklace is an ideal gift for a… read moreRound Diamond Chain Necklace 4.40ct G/SI 18k White Gold 42"
£16,807.00
This design was the first pick because of its stylish simplicity. This necklace can be an everyday piece, a versatile design that will upgrade almost any outfit, from a blouse and blazer to a polo-neck sweater. We think that this long chain necklace can also work well with an evening dress for swanky nights out. The length means that most women can enjoy the necklace with several turns around the neck to emphasise the 22 diamonds.
This necklace will pair beautifully with our earrings and bracelets to complete a sophisticated look. If you are into layering, you will discover that this piece will play very nicely with other necklaces and pendants.
Finally, this design is one that works for a whole range of budgets. You can reduce your spending by choosing a shorter chain with fewer and perhaps smaller diamonds while still keeping the statement that the designer had in mind when she created the piece.
2) Tennis necklace with 3.85 carats of diamonds in 18K yellow gold
Graduated Rub Over Diamond Tennis Necklace 3.85ct G/SI 18k Yellow Gold
£5,165.00
£10,507.00
Do you love tennis and love wearing diamonds? If the answer is yes, then this is the necklace for you! Fashioned with 3.85 carats of G/SI quality diamonds set in beautiful rub over settings, this necklace is a luxurious addition… read more
We all like this necklace; what distinguishes it from many other tennis necklace styles is how the diamonds are graduated in size around the wearer's neck. The differing diamond sizes give an extra degree of visual interest as the diamonds move slightly and catch the light differently.
The design balances modern and classic, making it a very versatile piece of fine jewellery. We love the contrast between the yellow gold and the white fire and sparkle of the diamonds.
This is a beautiful way to add visual interest to your Zoom calls during the business day as it sits with your business or business casual outfits but in the evening paired up with a more casual top and jeans.
We think you will enjoy the elegance of the rub over settings for the diamonds that have the benefit of giving visual interest while keeping those precious stones held firmly in place.
This design is available in white gold if that suits your taste or skin tone.
3) Diamond drop pendant necklace with 0.50 carats of diamonds in 18k white gold.
£780.00

£1,337.00
This pendant drop necklace was my personal pick. I love to see a pendant necklace on a simple chain, almost floating around the neck or above the cleavage.
As I have olive skin, the white gold makes a pretty contrast with my skin, especially when I have a touch of summer suntan!
Pendant drop necklaces can work well with many different outfit styles, from a bikini to an evening or cocktail dress. If you have never worn a drop with a white blouse with an open neck, well, just try it!
I picked this particular design because I adore how the nine diamonds appear to float between two pieces of shimmering white gold. There's no magic involved; the diamonds are channel set, and the sides of the piece are joined behind the diamonds.
This lovely pendant is one of the least expensive pieces on our list and, I think, one of the prettiest!
4) A halo necklace with a 3.20 carat aquamarine surrounded by a halo of 0.6 carats of diamonds.
Aquamarine 3.20ct & 0.36ct G/SI Diamond Necklace in 18k White Gold
£2,364.00
£4,447.00
This confident, forthright pendant with 3.2 carats of gorgeous aquamarine surrounded by hand-cut diamonds in a striking oval design that catches the light wonderfully will be a wonderful gift to yourself or a loved one. With the elegantly handcrafted chain… read more
The highly faceted blue gemstone will catch every ray of light and delight all who see it. The brilliant blue of the large aquamarine is the centrepiece here. The diamonds are the supporting voices in a choir of sparkle and beauty.
This pendant is particularly significant for women born in March as aquamarine is that month's birthstone.
This is a pendant that will get you noticed. The large blue gemstone is sure to catch the eyes of those who see it, yet it is not showy, not bling.
Sold with either a 16 or 18-inch chain, you can make sure that this beautiful piece of fine jewellery will sit exactly where you want it
Halo pendant necklaces are always a popular style, and this example, designed and handcrafted in the UK, will be worn with pleasure and pride by all attracted to its stunning yet simple good looks.

No showcase of beautiful diamond necklaces would be complete without a solitaire design! Our list is no exception!
Why do we love this one in particular?
The diamond is a whole 1.00 carat in size, ensuring that it will not go unnoticed. The setting is a classic prong style that showcases the full depth of the diamond while, at the same time, allowing light to do its magic through the whole of the perfectly cut brilliant round diamond. No type of diamond or setting gives more of a treat to the eyes. Every facet of the classic brilliant-cut round diamond can sparkle itself and reflect light from deep inside the stone to escape and dazzle the viewers' eyes.
The yellow 18k gold of the setting and chain provide a contrast that highlights the diamond's beauty and does not overshadow the precious stone in any way at all.
This is a piece of jewellery that can be worn to any event, in any situation, and with any clothing. It is the most versatile diamond necklace and will be the one you pick up when you're in a hurry or sit down and consider which necklace you should wear for business or social occasions.
So, that's our brief round-up of our best diamond necklaces. I hope that you love some of these as much as we do. But, and there's always a but, with over 500 necklaces with a range of precious stones, designs and prices, you will probably see exactly what you want in our necklace and pendant collection.
