A diamond chevron that stacks with everything

Questions and answers

Is this necklace real gold?

Yes. It is 14K white gold, which is solid gold alloyed with white metals and rhodium-plated for a bright finish. The plating can wear over years and is renewed by re-dipping.

How do lab-grown diamonds compare with mined ones?

They are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds and rank the same on the Mohs hardness scale. They cost less and have little resale value, which is the main trade-off.

What does F/SI2 mean?

F is the color grade, near colorless, so the stones look white rather than yellow. SI2 is the clarity grade, meaning slight inclusions that are usually not visible to the eye but can show under close inspection.

Can the length be adjusted?

The chain is 18.5 inches with a standard clasp. A jeweler can add a shorter jump ring or a small extender, but the piece is not sold with an adjustable slider.

Will the chevron shape lie flat?

The V is designed to follow the collarbone and sit flat when the chain is snug. On a very long or short neck it may shift, so check the 18.5-inch drop against a necklace you already own.

How should I care for it?

Store it flat or hanging to avoid kinks, keep it away from perfume and chlorine, and clean with mild soap and a soft brush. Have the rhodium plating checked every year or two.
