The lion, king of beasts, symbol of courage, royalty, and leadership, paved with genuine natural diamonds. The centerpiece of a style that reigns supreme.

A gold and diamond lion pendant built to last
The lion's head is sculpted in volume, then set stone by stone. Each strand of the mane features 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 true men's diamond pendant from a flat piece: it comes alive with movement, not just under studio lights. Up close, you see the relief; from a distance, you see the silhouette.
You then choose the metal—925 sterling silver or genuine 10k, 14k, or 18k gold—and the finish. A yellow gold lion pendant fully embraces a solar, 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: which 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 link balances the volume of the mane. It is the most versatile compromise, looking great with a t-shirt or an open shirt.
-
3-inch size — a wide Cuban link and a length of 60 cm or more. The pendant sits lower, has space to breathe, and fully asserts its status 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 works, but mismatched combinations are immediately noticeable.
Compatible chains can be found in our diamond chains and our Cuban chains collections.
Natural diamond: what you are really buying
A natural diamond pendant is not just a piece of jewelry: it is a stone formed underground, extracted, cut, and then set. Its rarity is geological, not industrial—and that is precisely what forms its value as an heirloom.
Practically speaking, this changes two things. The status of the piece first: you don't gift a natural diamond like you gift an accessory, you mark a moment. The budget second, which is higher than for a lab-grown stone of comparable visual appearance.
If you like the design but prefer to allocate your budget differently, the same lion is available in a lab-grown version: discover our lab-grown 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 sea, working out, or sleeping: chlorine, salt, and friction are the true enemies of a setting.
- Store it flat in its Emirice box, without letting it rub against other jewelry.
- Perfume and lotion should be applied before putting it on, never after.
Frequently asked questions
Is the chain included with the pendant?
No. The bail is integrated into the pendant, but the chain is chosen separately so that you can adjust the link style, length, and finish to your body type and personal style.
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 for those who want a truly spectacular piece.
Are the diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. This pendant is paved with natural diamonds extracted from the earth, selected for their purity and whiteness, and hand-set. The metal is hallmarked, and a certificate can be provided upon request for gold versions.
