Diamond pendants are one of the most popular diamond jewelry items on the market. They are easily customized, fun to personalize, can range from quite affordable to overwhelmingly extravagant and are frequently unisex. While there are countless diamond pendant designs and styles, the solitaire diamond pendant, diamond journey pendant, and the hip hop pendant are probably the most popular and well known.
The Solitaire Diamond Pendant:
Solitaire diamond pendants feature a single diamond in a precious metal setting that hangs from a chain. If you are a real diamond lover and want to showcase a single solitary stone, the solitaire diamond pendant is for you. The focus is on the diamond and its brilliance, rather than the overall necklace. For this reason, the quality of the solitaire stone, it shape and its setting are essential to the overall look of any solitaire diamond pendant. Because of their simple and timeless look, solitaire diamond pendants are popular gifts-for-her that are appropriate for nearly every occasion.
The Diamond Journey Pendant:
Diamond journey pendants are the most romantic of the three popular diamond styles. They are meant to symbolize your relationship with your significant other and the journey you take together as life partners. They come in two different styles. The first style incorporates three or more diamonds increasing in size set in a vertical line. The second style is a circular pendant also set with a line of three of more diamonds that increases in size. The diamonds’ increasing size is meant to signify a deepening and strengthening relationship. Both styles hang from the center of a precious metal chain. Frequently the line of diamonds is shaped like an ‘S’, representing the twists and turns of life.
Diamond Hip Hop Pendant:
Ever since hip hop infiltrated popular culture more than 15 years ago, the hip hop pendant has become a signature of many popular hip hop artists and famous rappers. Hip Hop pendants are flamboyantly extravagant and are almost always customized in design. In fact, many say that hip hop culture coined the word “bling”, a word that has already entered popular slang and refers to the overwhelming shine reflecting off of big diamonds, lots of lustrous platinum or radiant gold. Many hip hop pendants feature excessively flashy designs such as a diamond encrusted dollar sign, skull, cross, or gun. Often, diamond hip hop pendants playfully feature the name of the wearer in script or italic lettering.
