Lab-grown lion pendant

Lab-grown diamond lion pendant: the king of jewelry

The lion, king of beasts, symbol of courage, royalty, and leadership, paved with genuine lab-grown diamonds. The centerpiece of a reigning style.

Lab-grown diamond: the real diamond, more responsible

Genuine lab-grown diamonds (CVD/HPHT), identical to mined diamonds: 10/10 Mohs hardness, D-F / VVS clarity, same white fire. An ethical and traceable origin, at a much friendlier price.

The lion symbol

Proud and sovereign, the lion embodies courage and leadership. Its mane, set with diamonds, radiates like a crown of light.

To give or to treat yourself

A royal pendant, to give or to treat yourself to assert your leadership.

Emirice: high jewelry that makes a statement

At Emirice, every piece is designed to last and to leave an impression. Treat yourself to the sparkle that defines you.

A gold and diamond lion pendant built to last

The lion's head is sculpted in 3D, then set stone by stone. Each strand of the mane has its own angle, and therefore its own way of reflecting light: this is what creates the halo effect around the animal's face.

This is also what distinguishes a real men's diamond pendant from a flat piece: it lives in motion, not just under studio lights. Up close, you see the relief; from afar, you see the silhouette.

You then choose the metal — solid 925 silver or genuine 10k, 14k, or 18k gold — and the finish. A yellow gold lion pendant fully embraces a solar and royal aesthetic; in 18k, the 18k gold lion pendant becomes a collector's item. In white gold, the design gains a cool, graphic edge; in rose gold, it softens without losing any of its presence.

How to wear it: what chain to pair it with

The bail is integrated, but the chain is not included. This is not an oversight: the final look depends entirely on the necklace you choose.

• 2-inch size — a fine to medium chain, worn between 50 and 55 cm, keeps the lion at the center of the chest. The design remains legible without overpowering the silhouette.
• 2.5-inch size — a medium-width Cuban chain balances the volume of the mane. This is the most versatile compromise, whether with a t-shirt or an open shirt.
• 3-inch size — a wide Cuban chain and a length of 60 cm or more. The pendant hangs low, has room to breathe, and truly takes on its role as a statement piece.
• Consistency of finishes — match the color of the chain to the pendant. White gold with white gold, yellow gold with yellow gold: intentional mixing can work, but accidental clashing is immediately noticeable.

Compatible chains can be found in our diamond chains and our Cuban chains collections.

Lab-grown diamond: the same diamond, different origin

People often refer to synthetic diamond pendants, but the correct term is lab-grown diamond: the stone is produced via CVD or HPHT processes, with the same composition and properties as a mined diamond. It is not an imitation; it is a diamond — only the origin changes.

The benefit is twofold. First, clear traceability, which meets an increasingly common ethical demand. Second, a much more budget-friendly price point for comparable visual results: for the same budget, you can aim for a larger size or a higher gold karat.

If you still prefer mined stones, the same lion is available in a mineral version: see our natural diamond pendants.

Caring for your pendant

• Rinse with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, brush the pavé with a very soft-bristled brush, and dry with a microfiber cloth.
• Remove it before swimming, going to the beach, hitting the gym, or sleeping: chlorine, salt, and friction are the true enemies of stone settings.
• Store it flat in its Emirice box, making sure it doesn't rub against other jewelry.
• Perfume and lotion should be applied before putting it on, never after.

Frequently asked questions

Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. Grown via CVD or HPHT processes, it shares the same composition and properties as a mined diamond: same 10/10 hardness on the Mohs scale, same white fire, and stated D-F / VVS clarity. Only the origin changes.

Is the chain included with the pendant?

No. The bail is integrated into the pendant, but the chain is chosen separately so you can adjust the style, length, and finish to your body type and personal aesthetic.

What size should I choose for my first lion pendant?

Three sizes are offered: 2 inches (50.8 mm), 2.5 inches (63.5 mm), and 3 inches (76.2 mm). For a first piece to be worn daily, the 2-inch remains the easiest to wear; the 3-inch is aimed at those who want a truly spectacular statement piece.
