Lab-Grown Diamond Vintage Necklaces

• Halo pendant: a center lab-grown diamond ringed by smaller ones, often bezel set with a beaded rim.
• Filigree disc or cluster: lacy openwork with pavé edges, the nearest to an estate piece.
• Cross: scrolled or pointed arms outlined in small stones.

Milgrain, found on most pendants here, softens each outline and sparkles along the rim. Filigree gives depth behind the stones, while graduated pavé on some bails guides the eye toward the center. Floral motifs on several designs add a garden-era softness.

Choose white, yellow or rose gold in 10K or 14K, or Silvadium, a sterling silver made to resist tarnish. Yellow and rose gold carry the strongest antique tone. Most pendants offer 1 to 5 carats total weight, and many start lower.

Hard scrubbing wears milgrain flat, so use only a soft brush and gentle soapy water, never a polishing paste. Keep the pendant hung or in a lined compartment where heavier pieces can't press the openwork.
