The Q for Quentin, Quitterie, or Quincy — a rare and elegant letter, a circle finished with a small tail that makes it unique. Set with lab-grown diamonds, it asserts its originality.
The Q is paved with genuine cultured diamonds (CVD/HPHT), identical to mined diamonds: 10/10 Mohs, D-F / VVS clarity, brilliant white fire. An ethical origin and a controlled price.
The loop of the Q reflects light all around, while its small tail gives it a character all its own. A rare initial, for those who love to stand out from the crowd.
✔ Stones: lab-grown diamonds, hand-set pavé

Wearing a letter is not just wearing a motif: it is wearing a name. That of Quentin, Quincy, Queen, or Quiterie, your own, or that of someone who matters. This is what distinguishes a gold letter pendant from any other pendant: it says nothing to others and everything to you.
The Q offers a circle extended by an oblique tail, the rarest letter to wear, and this is decisive: the construction of a letter determines how it catches the light once paved with lab-grown diamonds. The Q is among the initials rarely available in stores, as boutiques stop at common letters — that is why we produce the entire alphabet.
A lab-grown diamond is a diamond: same carbon, same structure, same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale. Only its origin changes, since it is cultured instead of mined — it can therefore never be called natural. This is what makes a gold and diamond letter pendant accessible where natural stone would require a much more modest pavé. Not to be confused with moissanite or cubic zirconia.
925 silver is the entry-level, very white, which oxidizes in the air. 10K gold is the hardest of the four and the most scratch-resistant. 14K gold offers the best balance of strength and purity for daily wear. 18K gold has the deepest color, but it is the softest metal.
Not included, it is what sets the wearing height: 50 cm near the collarbone, 55 to 60 cm on the sternum, 65 cm and more for a low hang. A 3-inch piece on a thin chain will sag and strain the clasp.

No, the pendant is sold on its own, with an integrated bail. A letter pendant necklace consists of: the letter and its size first, then a chain whose thickness matches the weight.
Yes: it is one of the few pieces of jewelry where the gender depends on the format, not the design. A men's letter pendant is usually chosen in 2 to 3 inches on a thick chain, a women's initial necklace in 1 to 1.5 inches on a thin link.
For daily wear, 14K gold handles friction better. The 18-karat gold letter pendant, meanwhile, offers a deeper color and a more flattering density in the hand.
