The word pendant derives from the Latin word pendere and Old French word pendr, both of which translate to “to hang down”. It comes in the form of a loose-hanging piece of jewellery, generally attached by a small loop to a necklace, which may be known as a “pendant necklace”.[1] A pendant earring is an earring with a piece hanging down. In modern French, pendant is the gerund form of pendre (” to hang”) and also means “during”. The extent to which the design of a pendant can be incorporated into an overall necklace makes it not always accurate to treat them as separate items.[2]
We can provide solitaire pendants or total weight pendants that include melee for halos on rounds and pear shapes. We use some melee to enhance our stones but want the stone to be the main focus and we typically work with round cable chain – as it’s the most classic and doesn’t take away from the pendant – but can also provide snake , bead and box chain depending on the customer’s needs.
Earrings provide the most fashion in pieces of fine jewelry and we can usually make most their of styles. Plain diamond studs that can be worn everyday are our specialty but we also work with other shapes of diamonds and colored stones with halo enhanced styles and drops.
A lot of our customers when they want a special ring choose a colored precious or semi-precious stone enhanced by diamonds. We work with Sapphires , Rubies , Aquamarine , Tanzanite as well as many others and enhance them with primarily melee diamonds or other stones to enhance the main/center stone of the ring. These become statement pieces that can eventually be handed down become creating heirlooms that last generations.
