What is a solitaire diamond pendant? Do they make good diamond gifts?

I've been looking for a diamond encrusted pendant for my wife's upcoming birthday. I came across a beautiful diamond set pendant on an online jewelry store. The item's description said that the pendant was a solitaire diamond pendant. What does that mean? What's a solitaire diamond pendant? Do diamond set pendants make for good gifts?

A diamond solitaire pendant is just one diamond that is set in precious metal that hangs from a precious metal chain. They are usually quite simple, they showcase the diamond you choose, and they are definitely good gifts.

A solitaire diamond pendant is a pendant with a single diamond stone that you can hang from a chain necklace. They are simple, elegant and appropriate for almost any occasion. Frequently stores will offer the "build your own solitaire diamond pendant" option and will allow you to pick your metal, your preferred setting, and the cut and amount of diamonds. Solitaire diamond pendants are wonderful gifts since they are simple, beautiful, valuable, elegant and timeless.  As long as you go with a rather inornate style, a diamond solitaire pendant can be worn with absolutely any outfit, whether it is casual or formal or whatever.
