White Diamond Necklaces

Fancy white diamonds differ from traditional colorless diamonds due to their soft, opalescent appearance. Their milky, snowy quality comes from tiny inclusions that scatter light, giving them a distinctive glow rather than the brilliance of colorless diamonds. These versatile gems can be set in a variety of designs, from minimalist solitaire pendants to intricate statement pieces.

The value of a white diamond necklace is influenced by the 4Cs: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. However, unlike colorless diamonds, white diamonds are not graded on the traditional D-Z scale due to their natural body color. White diamonds are often more rare than colorless diamonds, contributing to their value.

The craftsmanship involved in creating the piece, the setting type and material, and the presence of other precious stones also significantly influence the necklace's overall value.

White diamonds certified by an organisation such as the GIA (as all Langerman Diamonds can be), will generally have higher valuations. This is often called ‘The Fifth C’.

The right white diamond necklace depends on your own style and the occasion. Adding a touch of glamour to your daily look is possible with the classic solitaire or drop-pendant. Consider the necklace length – you might well see the benefit in having one or two designs or differing chains to provide more varied options.

A fancy white diamond necklace would be expected to hold its value, with a few caveats. The provenance of the diamond, not to mention the 4 C’s and any unique craftsmanship, will help ensure the value of the piece remains as when purchased. Additionally, ensuring that the necklace is certified will provide additional peace of mind to any future buyer.

Fancy white diamonds are quite scarce, usually sourced from India, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Brazil or Zimbabwe. This rarity will contribute to both their current, and future, value. Completely colorless white diamonds that show no secondary colors are highly desirable to collectors.

Your white diamond necklace needs care to continue shining for decades to come. Clean it regularly with mild soap and water using a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.

An annual visit to get them professionally cleaned will also allow them to be checked over and make sure the settings are secure.

Keep them separate from other jewellery (such as your bracelets) to avoid scratches, by storing them in a lined jewellery box or pouch.

Fancy white diamond necklaces are renowned for their unique opalescence. Instead of brilliance, they exhibit a soft, diffused light that captures attention in a subtle yet striking way. Their rare and distinctive glow, combined with expert craftsmanship, makes them a symbol of elegance, sophistication, and personal style.

White diamonds differ from colorless diamonds in both appearance and rarity. They may display subtle hints of colors like blue, pink, or yellow, further enhancing their charm. This, combined with their milky, opalescent quality, makes white diamond necklaces stand out as timeless statement pieces.
