How to Build a Diamond Pendant

One of the great things about jewelry is that you can design your own. A pendant is an object that hangs from a piece of jewelry, such as a necklace or earrings. Designing your own pendant is great if you want a piece of custom diamond jewelry or have a loose diamond that you want to mount. Building a diamond pendant is also a good gift idea for your mother or significant other for a special occasion because of the thought and time it takes to create a pendant. Use a professional jeweler when building a diamond pendant to make sure the stone is mounted correctly.

Instructions

1

Find a jeweler who creates custom diamond pendants. Jewelers know about diamond and mount setting, and can provide guidance during the pendant-building process.

2

Select a pendant setting to mount the diamond. Choose the type of metal you would like use for the pendant.

3

Choose the diamond you want to use for the pendant if you do not already have one. Diamonds are available in different sizes (carats), cuts and clarities, as well as a limited variety of colors such as yellow, white and blue. The more flawless a diamond and the rarer the color, the more expensive it is.

4

Review and finalize details of the pendant. Make any adjustments before the jeweler begins working on it.
