Number Necklaces

A number can carry just as much meaning as a name, sometimes more. A birth year, a wedding date, an address you'll always remember — a number necklace lets you wear that detail quietly around your neck instead of keeping it to yourself. It works exactly the same way an initial does, except the story it tells is a little more specific: not just who matters to you, but when.

Details That Make Them Personal

Numbers are usually spelled out fully in pavé diamonds rather than left as plain metal, since digits don't read as clearly at a glance as a single letter does — the extra sparkle is what makes the number legible rather than just decorative. It works best as its own clear statement, whether that means wearing it completely alone or layering it in front of a longer, simpler chain behind it. Either way, it's a detail most people will only clock if you tell them what it means, and that's usually exactly why it was chosen.

Choosing Your Metal

The metal sets the tone for any piece of jewelry, from the warm colour of yellow gold to the cool brightness of platinum. Our collection includes 417 (10K), 585 (14K) and 750 (18K) gold, as well as 950 platinum, so you can choose not only the shade you love but also the balance of purity, durability and weight that fits you.

• Yellow gold necklaces carry a warm, traditional tone.
• White gold's rhodium plating gives them a brighter, whiter finish than platinum's naturally warmer grey-white tone, and unlike silver, it won't tarnish between wears.
• Rose gold necklaces have a warm pink hue from its copper content, and are naturally resistant to everyday wear.
• Platinum necklaces use a naturally white metal that never needs rhodium plating, with a denser, heavier feel than gold.

Natural vs. Lab-Grown Diamonds

Diamonds define much of a necklace’s character, but the choice between natural and laboratory-grown diamonds also affects the story behind the piece. Natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth over millions or even billions of years, while laboratory-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology and have essentially the same chemical, physical and optical properties. Both are genuine diamonds, not imitations, and each is accurately described by its cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. Our initial diamond necklaces feature both options, set in delicate rows or across the full surface of the band for a more continuous sparkle.

Diamond Quality and Certification

Diamond quality is measured by carat weight, colour, clarity, and cut grade. Colour is graded on a scale from colourless to visibly tinted, and our diamonds are typically graded F/G. Clarity indicates the presence of natural inclusions; ours are typically VVS/VS, meaning any inclusions are difficult to see without magnification. The centre stones in our collection are accompanied by an IGI certificate detailing these characteristics.
