1.01 CT Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Necklace in 14kt White Gold

David Stern Jewelers presents an exquisite 1.01 CT Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Necklace set in lustrous 14kt white gold, a distinctive piece that celebrates the milestone of surpassing one full carat while incorporating the exotic beauty of rare tanzanite accent stones. This exceptional creation features a stunning 1.01 carat round brilliant cut diamond as its centerpiece, complemented by 0.15 carats of trillion-cut tanzanites that add captivating flashes of blue-violet color. According to the Gemological Institute of America, diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale as the hardest naturally occurring substance, making them perfect for jewelry designed to be worn daily and treasured for a lifetime before being passed down through generations as cherished heirlooms.

The magnificent 1.01 carat round brilliant cut diamond represents a significant milestone in fine jewelry, as surpassing the one carat threshold creates both psychological and market value advantages. The round brilliant cut features 57 or 58 facets arranged in the mathematically optimized pattern perfected over centuries to maximize light return, creating the spectacular fire, brilliance, and scintillation that has made this cut the most popular and timeless choice in diamond jewelry. The International Gem Society explains that well-cut round brilliant diamonds display exceptional light performance, with light entering through the crown, reflecting off the pavilion facets, and returning to the eye in a mesmerizing display of white brilliance and colored fire.

Breaking the one carat mark is significant in diamond jewelry, as diamonds over 1 carat command exponentially higher per-carat values and are perceived as substantially more prestigious than stones just below this threshold. The 1.01 carat size provides impressive presence and sparkle while remaining comfortable for daily wear, representing the perfect balance between impact and wearability. This size demonstrates both the wearer’s success and their sophisticated understanding of diamond value.

What makes this necklace truly distinctive is the incorporation of 0.15 carats of trillion-cut tanzanites with blue color and excellent clarity. Tanzanites, found exclusively in Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro, are approximately one thousand times rarer than diamonds geographically. According to the GIA, tanzanite’s unique blue-violet hue with characteristic color-shifting properties creates a gemstone unlike any other in nature. The trillion cut, also known as the trilliant cut, is a triangular brilliant cut featuring multiple facets that maximize the tanzanite’s natural brilliance and pleochroism—the optical phenomenon where the stone displays different colors from different viewing angles.

The combination of colorless diamond with vivid blue-violet tanzanite accents creates sophisticated color contrast and contemporary appeal. The trillion-cut tanzanites likely frame the diamond in a three-stone or accent configuration, their triangular shapes creating dynamic geometric interest while their blue color provides a cool, complementary accent to the diamond’s brilliant white sparkle. This pairing represents innovative design thinking, uniting the world’s hardest gemstone with one of its rarest to create jewelry with both substance and artistry.

This Necklace has a Total Carat Weight of 1.16 ct tw with the centerpiece diamond exhibiting I color and SI-1 clarity. The I color grade falls within the “near colorless” range on the GIA diamond color grading scale, offering exceptional value while appearing virtually colorless when set in white gold. The SI-1 clarity grade indicates the diamond has minor inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification and typically invisible to the naked eye, providing eye-clean appearance while allowing you to maximize size and overall beauty. This represents an ideal balance between quality and value for a one-carat diamond.

The “Excellent” clarity designation for the tanzanites indicates outstanding transparency and vivid color with minimal inclusions, representing premium quality accent stones that enhance rather than detract from the overall composition. The American Gem Society notes that fine tanzanites have become increasingly valuable as mining operations approach depletion, with experts predicting the supply may be exhausted within coming decades.

This Necklace has a gold weight of approximately 4 grams, crafted in elegant 14kt white gold that provides the perfect neutral backdrop for both the colorless diamond and blue tanzanites. According to the World Gold Council, 14kt white gold contains 58.3% pure gold alloyed with white metals and is typically rhodium-plated to achieve its brilliant white finish. This metal choice offers excellent durability for necklaces while creating a contemporary aesthetic that allows the gemstones to command full attention. The white gold creates a cohesive, sophisticated presentation that unifies the diamond and tanzanites into a harmonious whole.

This Necklace comes with a chain featuring a lobster claw clasp in 14kt white gold, ensuring secure wear for this valuable piece. The lobster claw mechanism provides reliable security while maintaining ease of use and refined appearance. The chain length, while not specified in the provided details, would typically be 16 or 18 inches to position this distinctive pendant at the ideal location for maximum visibility and impact.

What distinguishes this diamond necklace is the creative integration of rare tanzanite accents with a milestone one-carat diamond. This design approach represents contemporary jewelry thinking, where designers combine complementary gemstones to create pieces with greater visual interest and personality than single-stone designs. The trillion cut for the tanzanites is particularly inspired, as the triangular shape creates dynamic geometry while the brilliant faceting ensures these accent stones contribute substantial sparkle despite their modest 0.15 carat total weight.

This piece of Fine Custom Jewelry also includes a full complementary Jewelry Appraisal written by David Stern, G.I.A Gemologist. This professional appraisal provides detailed documentation of specifications for both the diamond and tanzanite components, gemstone characteristics, and replacement value for insurance purposes. The GIA Graduate Gemologist credential represents the jewelry industry’s most respected gemological qualification, ensuring you receive authoritative expertise regarding this distinctive acquisition.

This exceptional diamond and tanzanite necklace embodies contemporary elegance with timeless appeal. The one-carat diamond provides the substantial presence and brilliance that defines fine diamond jewelry, while the tanzanite accents add color, rarity, and modern sophistication. Whether you’re seeking a versatile signature piece that transitions seamlessly from professional to social settings, a meaningful gift celebrating achievement or milestones, or a distinctive addition to your jewelry collection that offers both traditional diamond quality and contemporary design innovation, this necklace offers the beauty, quality, and uniqueness that discerning jewelry enthusiasts appreciate.

The combination of diamond durability with tanzanite rarity creates a piece with both immediate wearability and long-term investment potential. As tanzanite supplies diminish, jewelry featuring this gemstone will become increasingly significant, while the one-carat diamond ensures enduring value and universal appeal. This necklace represents the best of both worlds—timeless diamond elegance enhanced by the distinctive beauty of one of the world’s rarest gemstones.
