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

David Stern Jewelers presents a beautiful 1.50 CT Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Necklace set in elegant 14kt white gold, an exceptional estate piece that offers the timeless appeal of substantial diamond jewelry with the character and value that define pre-owned treasures. This stunning creation features a commanding 1.50 carat round brilliant cut diamond as its centerpiece, surrounded by approximately 0.98 carats of accent diamonds that create spectacular brilliance and visual impact. 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 generations as enduring heirlooms.

The impressive 1.50 carat round brilliant cut diamond represents substantial size and presence, offering commanding visual impact that surpasses the psychologically significant one-carat threshold. The round brilliant cut features 57 or 58 facets arranged in the mathematically optimized pattern that maximizes light return, creating the spectacular fire, brilliance, and scintillation that has made this cut the most popular and timeless choice in diamond jewelry for over a century. The International Gem Society explains that well-cut round brilliant diamonds display exceptional light performance, with properly proportioned stones returning the maximum amount of light to the eye in a mesmerizing display of white and colored brilliance.

This substantial centerpiece diamond is dramatically enhanced by approximately 0.98 carats of accent diamonds that create a spectacular halo or surround setting. This brings the total diamond content to an impressive 2.48 carats total weight—nearly two and a half carats of genuine diamonds creating a piece with undeniable luxury and presence. Halo settings have been celebrated in fine jewelry since the Art Deco era for their ability to amplify the apparent size of center stones while adding exceptional sparkle through multiple points of light reflection.

This Necklace has a Total Carat Weight of 2.48 ct tw with I color and I-1 clarity for the centerpiece diamond. The I color grade falls within the “near colorless” range on the GIA diamond color grading scale, offering good value while appearing nearly colorless when set in white gold. When mounted in white gold settings, I color diamonds face up attractively white, particularly in sizes over 1 carat where the color is distributed across greater surface area.

The I-1 clarity grade indicates the diamond has inclusions that may be visible to the naked eye upon close inspection. The American Gem Society explains that I-1 (Included 1) diamonds contain inclusions visible without magnification, though their impact on beauty varies significantly from stone to stone. In estate jewelry, I-1 clarity diamonds of substantial size like this 1.50 carat stone offer exceptional value, allowing you to enjoy impressive carat weight and visual presence at a more accessible investment level. The halo of accent diamonds helps draw attention to the overall sparkle and brilliance while the substantial size ensures the necklace makes a confident statement.

What distinguishes this diamond necklace is its provenance as estate jewelry—pre-owned pieces that carry history and character while offering exceptional value compared to newly manufactured jewelry. Estate jewelry represents fully realized designs where you’re acquiring completed artistry rather than paying contemporary manufacturing markups. The International Gem Society notes that estate pieces often feature superior craftsmanship and more generous diamond content than contemporary mass-produced jewelry, as older pieces were made during eras when labor costs were lower and quality took precedence over profit margins.

This Necklace has a gold weight of approximately 9.2 grams, reflecting substantial 14kt white gold construction that adds both durability and significant precious metal value. 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. The 9.2 gram weight indicates quality construction with properly engineered settings designed to securely hold nearly 2.5 carats of diamonds. This substantial weight contributes meaningful intrinsic value beyond the gemstones themselves.

This Necklace comes with an 18 inch chain with a spring ring clasp in 14kt white gold. The spring ring clasp is a classic closure mechanism commonly found in estate jewelry, offering secure wear with straightforward operation. The 18-inch length is universally flattering, allowing the substantial diamond pendant to rest gracefully just below the collarbone where it creates maximum visual impact. This length works beautifully for both everyday wear and special occasions, making this estate piece remarkably versatile and ensuring it will be worn frequently rather than reserved only for rare events.

Estate jewelry offers several distinct advantages for discerning buyers. You’re acquiring fully completed jewelry at a fraction of the cost to create new pieces of equivalent quality and size. The nearly 2.5 carats of genuine diamonds in this necklace would command significantly higher prices in newly manufactured jewelry. Additionally, estate pieces have proven their durability—this necklace has already withstood years of wear, demonstrating the quality of its construction and the enduring beauty of its design. There’s also an environmental and ethical dimension to estate jewelry, as purchasing pre-owned pieces represents the ultimate in sustainable luxury.

This piece of Estate Jewelry also includes a full complementary Jewelry Appraisal written by David Stern, G.I.A Gemologist. This professional appraisal provides detailed documentation of specifications, diamond characteristics, condition assessment, 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 estate acquisition. David Stern’s four decades of experience provide particular value when evaluating estate pieces, as assessing pre-owned jewelry requires additional expertise beyond grading new stones.

This exceptional diamond necklace embodies classic elegance with substantial presence. The 1.50 carat centerpiece diamond surrounded by nearly a full carat of accent stones creates impressive total diamond content that rivals pieces costing significantly more when purchased new. Whether you’re seeking a versatile statement piece that elevates any ensemble, a meaningful gift that offers genuine diamond luxury at accessible investment levels, or a distinctive addition to your jewelry collection that combines value with beauty, this estate necklace offers the quality and presence that smart jewelry buyers appreciate.

The nearly 2.5 carats of genuine diamonds ensure this necklace commands attention and respect, while the estate provenance provides exceptional value. This represents an opportunity to acquire substantial diamond jewelry—the type of piece that announces success and refined taste—at an investment level that makes luxury accessible. Estate jewelry allows you to enjoy the quality and craftsmanship of fine jewelry while being a savvy consumer who understands true value.
