How to Choose the Best Lab Grown Diamond Pendant
Choose the Right Diamond Shape for Your Pendant
The diamond shape is the most defining and personal choice in any pendant. A round cut diamond delivers the maximum brilliance of any shape — its exceptional fire and scintillation making it the most popular and universally flattering choice for a solitaire pendant. An oval cut diamond creates a beautifully elongating effect — facing up larger than a round brilliant of the same carat weight and creating a more distinctive silhouette on the neck. A pear cut diamond combines romantic beauty with a flattering teardrop silhouette that hangs beautifully in a pendant setting. Marquise cut diamonds offer a distinctive and elongating alternative for buyers who want a more fashion-forward pendant design. Consider how the diamond shape will complement your neckline and personal style when making your choice.
Choose the Right Carat Weight for Your Pendant
The carat weight of the diamond in your pendant significantly impacts its visual presence and how it wears on the neck. A smaller diamond — in the 0.50 to 1.00 carat range — creates a delicate and understated presence that is perfectly suited to everyday wear and layering with other necklaces. A larger diamond — in the 1.00 to 2.00 carat range and beyond — creates a more impressive and statement-making presence that is suited to special occasions and evening wear. Consider your lifestyle, personal style, and how you intend to wear the pendant when choosing the right carat weight. At Variation, our complete loose diamond collection allows you to choose the perfect diamond for your pendant at any carat weight.
Choose the Right Gold for Your Pendant
All Variation pendants are crafted in 18K gold — available in yellow, white, and rose gold. 18K white gold complements the icy colorless appearance of D to F color diamonds most naturally — making it the most popular choice for classic solitaire diamond pendants worn as everyday fine jewellery. 18K yellow gold creates a warm, classic contrast with colorless diamonds that is both timeless and increasingly fashionable. 18K rose gold offers a romantic, contemporary alternative that pairs beautifully with the brilliant fire of lab grown diamonds — an increasingly popular choice for solitaire pendants given as meaningful gifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of lab grown diamond pendants does Variation offer?
Variation's lab grown diamond pendant collection is centered around the timeless elegance of the solitaire diamond pendant — a single IGI certified lab grown diamond set in a beautifully crafted 18K gold setting. Our solitaire pendants are available in a range of diamond shapes — including round, oval, pear, and marquise — and in 18K yellow, white, and rose gold. For a completely bespoke pendant design, our custom design service allows you to create a unique piece around the diamond of your choice.
What is the most popular diamond shape for a solitaire pendant?
The round cut is the most popular diamond shape for a solitaire pendant — its exceptional brilliance and universal flattery making it the most sought-after choice for everyday diamond pendants. Oval cut pendants are the fastest growing alternative — the oval cut's elongated form creating a larger face-up appearance than a round brilliant of the same carat weight and a distinctively elegant silhouette on the neck. Pear and marquise cut pendants are popular choices for buyers who want a more distinctive and fashion-forward pendant design.
Is a lab grown diamond pendant a good gift?
Yes — a lab grown diamond pendant is one of the most universally appreciated and meaningful gifts available for any occasion. A diamond pendant is personal, timeless, and deeply meaningful — worn close to the heart at every moment. At up to 80% less than an equivalent natural diamond pendant, a Variation lab grown diamond pendant allows you to give an extraordinary gift of genuine fine jewellery quality without compromise. It is an outstanding choice for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and any meaningful personal milestone.
What is the difference between a lab grown diamond pendant and a lab grown diamond necklace?
A lab grown diamond pendant is a diamond set in a decorative mounting that hangs from a chain — the diamond and its setting being the focal point of the piece. A lab grown diamond necklace is a broader term that encompasses both pendant necklaces and necklaces where diamonds are set directly into the chain itself — such as solitaire necklaces and diamond station necklaces. At Variation, our necklace collection includes both pendant styles and chain-set diamond necklaces.
Can I create a custom lab grown diamond pendant at Variation?
Yes — Variation offers a bespoke custom design service that allows you to create a completely unique lab grown diamond pendant around the diamond of your choice. Whether you have a specific pendant design in mind or want expert guidance from our team, our custom design process allows you to create a truly one of a kind piece that is as distinctive and meaningful as the person who wears it.
