Hatton Garden diamonds: best price for the scintillating .90 Carat Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Solitaire Pendant set in 18ct White Gold: colour F, clarity VS: save £5,350
£5,450.00
Just arrived from London’s Hatton Garden, here is the classic diamond necklace, an elegant, simple, precious jewel which elevates the beauty of every woman’s look.
A single high quality natural 0.90 carat diamond is the stunning, eye-catching, focus of the piece. This solitaire diamond is a glittering, eye-catching wonder of Nature, timeless in its pared-back setting.
The diamond colour is among the highest grades, being F, which is colourless and one of the three top ‘collection colours’. The clarity is VS, which is flawless to the eye, and it is minimally prong-set in 18ct white gold, allowing maximum light to reach the solitaire.
With its 57 perfectly aligned facets, the brilliance of the round brilliant cut diamond really does outshine others. Total internal reflection is the key here; light travels through the stone, giving optimum sparkle and scintillation.
This, together with the innate quality of the diamond, its excellent colour and clarity, and the craftsmanship of the cut, creates that dazzling ‘white fire’. This is a necklace which really does catch the eye! It is also a diamond necklace with contemporary resonance as well being as an heirloom piece to be handed down through the generations. It will never, ever be out of style!

How to choose diamonds? Here we present a brief guide to the qualities of gemstones, and how to buy them, starting with diamonds.
DIAMONDS
The value of a diamond depends on an assessment of the four Cs—that is, carat, cut, clarity and colour. Carat indicates the weight of the stone; a carat corresponds to 200 milligrams (about 1/140th of an ounce).
Cut refers to the cutting of the diamond. The cut should be of excellent quality with facets at specific angles so that it perfectly reflects the light and creates a ‘fire’ inside. A diamond with at least 56 facets, a table and a point may be called a brilliant. That does not mean other cuts are less precious, for there are many ways to cut a stone and to bring the best out of it. Whether round, tear-shaped, oval or cone-shaped, the most important requirement is that the cut should be appropriate to the stone.
Clarity refers to the purity of the stone. The number, size, and location of any inclusions, transparency, and possible structural irregularities are assessed. In addition, a distinction is made between defects visible to the naked eye and those that can be seen by a 10-power magnifying loupe. The highest grading is FL for ‘flawless’. Then comes IF, ‘internally flawless’, meaning that no inclusions are visible with the same magnifier. The grades below include VVS, ‘very very slightly imperfect’, and VS, ‘very slightly imperfect’ with inclusions invisible to the eye, visible only with some difficulty with the magnifier; these do not affect the stone’s brilliance. SI, ‘slightly imperfect’ and I, ‘imperfect’, have inclusions that can be seen with the naked eye, and may affect the stone’s brilliance.
Diamonds are graded for colour, with the ideal being colourless. This is an important, sought-after characteristic because it allows the white light to penetrate the stone unhindered, emerging as a rainbow. Most stones are situated between ‘D’, which is ‘colourless’, and ‘Z’, which is light yellow. The colour is determined by comparing the stone with an internationally fixed number of master stones. So-called ‘fancy’ diamonds which may be blue, red, green or even black, are another story.
The CountryClubuk Diamond Standard:
All our diamond jewellery is at the higher end of the diamond scale. For example, the colour grade we use most often is F, which is one of the best three colours D, E, F, often called ‘collection’ colours. The subtle changes in collection colour are so minute that it is difficult to identify them in the smaller sizes. The clarity of diamond which our Hatton Garden jeweller insists on using as standard is VS, which means that its inclusions are visible only through magnification and not to the naked eye.
For bracelets and necklaces, we still offer our clients F/VS quality diamonds, and even higher grades if wished, but also G/H SI, which look stunning and are more affordable.
These high standards of quality mark our jewellery as of a higher standard than many of the top international names in diamond jewellery, and of course our CountryClubuk prices are extremely advantageous.
