Are you planning to invest in diamonds? These are precious sparkling gemstones that are famously known as women’s best friends. As per the experts investing in a diamond necklace set is a significant decision that combines both emotional and financial considerations. Whether you are buying it for a special occasion, as a timeless addition to your jewellery collection, or as an investment, there are several factors you should keep in mind to make an informed and worthwhile purchase. Here’s what you need to know before investing in a diamond necklace set.
The Connection of Diamonds with 4 Cs
The value and quality of diamonds are determined by the 4 Cs: Carat, Cut, Colour, and Clarity. Let’s get an overview of each:
1. Carat
- Description: Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. Higher carat weight often means a larger and more expensive diamond.
- Consideration: Balance carat weight with other factors to find a diamond that offers the best value for your budget.
- Description: The cut of a diamond affects its brilliance and sparkle. It is the most critical factor in determining a diamond’s beauty.
- Consideration: Aim for a higher cut grade to ensure maximum sparkle. Excellent or Very Good cuts are generally the best choices.
- Description: Diamonds are graded on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Colourless diamonds are the most valuable.
- Consideration: Go for diamonds in the D to F range for the best value and appearance. However, diamonds in the G to J range can also appear nearly colourless to the untrained eye and offer better value.
- Description: Clarity measures the presence of inclusions and blemishes in the diamond. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless (no inclusions or blemishes) to Included (inclusions visible to the naked eye).
- Consideration: Choose a clarity grade where inclusions are not visible to the naked eye, typically VS1 or VS2 for a good balance of value and appearance.
Certification and Authenticity
Always buy diamonds that come with certification from reputable gemological laboratories like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gem Society (AGS). Certification ensures that the diamond’s specifications have been independently verified and adds to the resale value.
Setting and Design

- Prong Setting: This classic setting allows maximum light to enter the diamond, enhancing its brilliance.
- Bezel Setting: This modern setting surrounds the diamond with a metal rim, offering a sleek look and added protection.
- Halo Setting: Smaller diamonds encircle the central diamond, adding extra sparkle and making the centerpiece appear larger.
Consider the design and style that suits the wearer’s taste and complements their existing jewellery collection. Classic designs are timeless, while contemporary styles can offer a unique flair.
Budgeting and Investment Value
Set a realistic budget before shopping for a diamond necklace set. Keep in mind that while larger diamonds and higher quality grades are more expensive, you can find beautiful pieces that offer excellent value without breaking the bank.
Diamonds can be a good investment, but their value can fluctuate. High-quality diamonds tend to retain their value better over time. Consider purchasing from reputable jewellers and seeking professional advice on the investment potential of your chosen piece.
