The perfect Valentine’s Day pendant should burst with romance, either by design or by meaning. Most buyers look for a beautiful design, elegantly packaged, with speedy delivery in time for February 14th.

With this in mind, we put together a few spectacular style suggestions which don’t break the bank. Each design captures the essence of Valentine’s Day. At the same time, we’ve suggested versatile necklaces suitable for daily wear—not just for Valentine’s Day.

Affordable Valentine’s Day Necklaces

Sterling Silver necklaces make sense to anyone restricted by budget. If you Worry about Silver not matching up to Platinum, Gold or Diamonds, you really don’t need to worry.

Caring for Silver necklaces

Compared to fashion jewellery stamped out of base metals, Silver represents a very popular choice for designer jewellery. Furthermore, Silver lasts and looks amazing when cared for. We recommend Connoisseur beauty wipes for removing any tarnish over time. A small pack of beauty wipes last for a long time with each wipe offering a re-usable, dry solution for taking away grime and restoring shine.

What are Briolette Diamonds?

Briolette diamonds are drop-shaped diamonds featuring triangular or diamond-shaped facets.

Many examples include fine drill holes to support wire thread and the addition of a small metal cap. This makes it an excellent choice for diamond drop earrings and pendants, acting as a ‘diamond bead,’ opposite to the conventional methods of diamond setting.

Are they more expensive than a regular diamond cut?

This diamond cut will demand a higher price on account of its rarity. Only specialist diamond suppliers feature this type of diamond cut within their inventories. Colours range from white, through to brown and yellow.

Briolette diamonds in Antique jewellery

Besides earrings, this type of diamond features in Antique and vintage jewellery designs. They are especially suited to Tiaras. Moving freely, their reflective movement adds drama to jewellery. The most famous example is probably the ‘Briolette of India’ weighing in at 90.38 carats. Because this diamond shape suspends from a wire thread, there is a similarity to the appearance of Chandelier crystals.

The beauty of 360 degree sparkle

One of the key differences to other diamond cuts comes from the 360-degree faceting around each diamond. Most diamond cuts feature a distinctive ‘underside,’ sometimes referred to as the pavilion.

In contrast, Briolette diamonds display facets all around the tear-drop shape. For this reason, they make an excellent diamond for drop earring styles as we have already discussed.

Sourcing and cost

Unlike regular diamond cuts such as the round brilliant and Princess, we have no specific price guide for this type of diamond. We source each commission on an individual basis, working with a large supplier base. Our suppliers reside in all areas of the world. In particular, within the main diamond cutting centres such as Surat, Antwerp and New York.

We make all commissions through in-depth bespoke design service. As part of this service, we provide clients detailed quotes, sketches or CAD designs as part of their journey towards the final piece of jewellery.
