12 Carat Bezel Diamond Necklace 18k Yellow Gold

This 18 karat yellow gold necklace features 36 round brilliant cut diamonds arranged in bezel-set raindrop stations along its 16-inch length. Each diamond measures 4.5mm and weighs .30 carats, bringing the total carat weight to 12.00 carats.

The diamonds range from E to F in color, which means they're essentially colorless with no visible tint, and SI1 to SI2 in clarity, where inclusions are minor and difficult to spot without magnification. The round brilliant cut maximizes light return and fire, while the bezel settings protect each stone and create a smooth surface that won't catch on clothing.

The raindrop station design spaces the diamonds evenly around the neck rather than clustering them in a continuous line. At 16 inches, this necklace sits at the collarbone for a flattering, close-to-the-neck fit that works well layered or worn alone.
