Necklace Styles
Solitaire
Solitaire pendant styles feature a single gemstone suspended from a precious metal chain, available in either single or double bail designs. A single bail uses a single metal fastener to attach the pendant to the chain, while a double bail features two metal hoops for added security.
These pendants can be crafted with either lab diamonds or natural diamonds. Solitaires are offered in a variety of shapes, including round, princess, cushion, and oval. The choice of shape depends on personal preference; round shapes are popular for their faceted brilliance and sparkle, while princess cuts appeal with their symmetrical square design.
Many opt for diamond solitaire necklaces due to their intense and captivating sparkle, even with minimal design. For those who prefer color and sparkle, other gemstones are also available. Brilliantany meticulously selects each diamond used in crafting these pendants, ensuring optimal color, sparkle, and saturation for a timeless piece of jewelry.
Halo
Halo necklace styles feature a central gemstone encircled by smaller gems, making them a stunning choice for everyday wear or special occasions. These necklaces are crafted with various center gems, including round, oval, cushion, and princess cuts. Typically, the central gem is surrounded by smaller accent diamonds, enhancing its appearance and creating the illusion of a larger pendant. Modern halo designs may incorporate various diamond-shaped patterns around the center gem, offering versatility in shapes and colors.
For durability, halo necklaces are expertly crafted in 14kt white or yellow gold.

These include hearts, keys, clusters, and journey pendants, each symbolizing significant occasions such as Valentine's Day, birthdays, and anniversaries. For instance, heart, love knot, and key-shaped pendants adorned with rubies and diamonds are favored choices for Valentine's Day. Journey and infinity pendants eloquently express the depth of love and commitment during anniversaries. Cluster pendants, featuring a collection of gemstones or diamonds arranged to resemble a larger stone, are also beloved styles. These classic designs can be crafted using rubies, sapphires, and diamonds, offering timeless elegance.

They feature innovative elements like spirals, interlocking circles, and intricate metalwork with gemstone accents. These necklaces are versatile additions to any wardrobe and make perfect gifts for any occasion. Brilliantany creates these timeless designs in 14kt white and yellow gold, ensuring both elegance and durability.
Necklace Metals
14kt White Gold
Offering versatility and durability, 14kt white gold is an alloy composed of 58% pure gold and other metals. Known for its silvery white luster, this metal complements all gemstones and diamonds, enhancing their allure and sparkle. All 14kt white gold jewelry at With Clarity is rhodium plated to enhance durability and shine. We advise against using metals lower than 14kt for crafting jewelry, as they lack durability and may lose their luster over time.
14kt Yellow Gold
Radiant and timeless, 14kt yellow gold complements any gemstone or diamond beautifully. Crafted from pure gold combined with copper and silver, it is both strong and malleable, making it suitable for daily wear and versatile designs. Its warm golden hue enhances all skin tones, adding a touch of elegance to any piece of jewelry.
14kt Rose Gold
14kt rose gold exudes a trendy and romantic appeal, making it a favored choice for pendants and necklaces. With its warm pinkish hue and golden luster, it harmonizes beautifully with gemstones such as ruby and emerald. Symbolically representing love, rose gold is crafted from pure gold blended with copper and other metals, offering a unique and flattering choice for all skin tones.
Platinum
A platinum pendant is an enduring and exquisite choice. Resistant to scratches and everyday wear, platinum maintains its natural silvery luster without requiring rhodium plating. It is particularly well-suited for showcasing diamonds and other precious gems such as emerald, ruby, and sapphire.
Platinum's density and weight surpass those of gold, imparting a substantial feel and exceptional durability. Composed of 95% platinum and 5% iridium, it is hypoallergenic, making it an ideal choice for wearers with sensitivities. A platinum pendant promises both timeless elegance and long-lasting quality.
Gemstones
Diamond
Diamonds remain a timeless favorite in necklace designs. Their radiant sparkle adds a touch of brilliance to both casual and formal attire. Round and oval shapes are favored for solitaire and halo styles, enhancing the gemstone's brilliance. Princess and emerald cuts exude regal elegance, while pear and marquise shapes offer unique and romantic options. Whether as a single stone or part of a more elaborate design, diamonds are cherished for their durability and everlasting allure, making them an ideal choice for enduring wear.
Emerald
Emeralds, with their captivating green hue, make a striking and elegant choice for gemstone necklaces and pendants. Whether featured in an emeralds-by-the-yard design, as a solitaire, or in a larger setting, the unforgettable green of this gemstone makes it a perfect gift. When selecting emeralds for necklaces, it's crucial to prioritize stones with optimal color, ensuring even tone and saturation. While emeralds often have natural inclusions, we meticulously select those with minimal distractions to enhance their beauty.
Ruby
Ruby gemstones are cherished for their romantic red hue, symbolizing passion and vitality. Their deep color and brilliant sparkle make them a popular choice for jewelry. While natural rubies often contain inclusions, these imperfections are natural and attest to the gemstone's authenticity. Brilliantany meticulously selects only natural rubies, ensuring that any inclusions do not compromise the gemstone's sparkle.
The value of rubies is determined by factors such as the intensity of their color, hue, and saturation. The most prized rubies exhibit a vibrant, fiery red color with minimal secondary hues like purple or pink. Yellow gold is traditionally considered an excellent choice to complement the rich red color of rubies, as it can mitigate any subtle undertones of purple. Rubies also pair beautifully with white gold and diamonds, creating elegant and timeless jewelry pieces.
Sapphire
Sapphire gemstones are renowned for their rich, royal navy blue color and exceptional sparkle, making them one of the most popular gemstones after diamonds. While sapphires can be found in a spectrum of shades, the classic blue hue is the most prevalent and sought after.
On the Mohs scale of hardness, sapphires score a sturdy 9, second only to diamonds. This hardness ensures they are durable and well-suited for everyday wear, making them an excellent choice for jewelry that withstands daily activities.
Desirable sapphires exhibit a deep, rich blue color with minimal visible inclusions. Heat treatment is a common practice to enhance the color and clarity of sapphires by reducing inclusions and improving their overall appearance. Brilliantany meticulously selects sapphires that strike the perfect balance of value, hue intensity, sparkle, and clarity.
Sapphires are versatile gemstones that look stunning on their own as well as when paired with diamonds. Whether set in white gold, yellow gold, or platinum, sapphire jewelry adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any occasion.
Amethyst
Amethyst exhibits a regal purple hue, making it an exquisite choice for necklaces and pendants. Whether complemented with diamonds or worn alone, amethyst radiates elegance. Known for its transparency, amethyst lacks visible imperfections or inclusions, allowing its natural shine and sparkle to captivate admirers.
The value of amethyst increases with the intensity of its purple hue. It's a perfect gift for any occasion and particularly meaningful for those born in February, as amethyst is their birthstone.
Blue Topaz
Blue topaz is prized for its icy blue hue, making it a stunning choice for pendants and necklaces that are bound to capture attention. As one of the most popular blue gemstones, its transparent nature allows for a brilliant sparkle that stands out effortlessly. Setting a larger blue topaz as a solitaire pendant highlights its beauty, while pairing it with diamonds enhances its elegance even further. Optimal choices for setting blue topaz include 14kt white gold and 14kt yellow gold, both of which complement its striking color with a touch of luxury.
