Is the diamond big enough to notice?

At about 0.20 carat total weight, the emerald-cut stone reads as a small, subtle accent rather than a statement. The step-cut facets catch light in broad flashes, so it shows more than its size suggests in person.

What quality is the diamond?

It is graded G-H color and SI clarity. That means near-colorless warmth and slight inclusions that are usually not visible without close inspection, which is typical for a stone this size.

Can the chain be worn longer?

The chain is about 16 inches with a lobster clasp and no extender is listed. For a longer drop, plan on a separate extender or a different chain.

Is it solid gold or plated?

It is solid 14K yellow gold, so it will not wear through to a base metal the way plated jewelry can. It can be worn daily with normal care.

How should I care for it?

Keep it away from perfume, chlorine and harsh cleaners, and wipe it with a soft cloth. Store it separately so the prongs and chain do not scratch other pieces.

It arrives in a gift box with a fabric pouch, which makes it presentable without extra wrapping. The classic solitaire style suits someone who wears delicate gold jewelry.
