18k Gold Pendant

18k gold pendant, the piece you keep and pass down

The 18k gold pendant is the purity for great occasions: 75% pure gold, a deep shade, a jewel that lasts through the years. This collection brings together the gold pendant for men and the gold pendant for women, in moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond. Every design is made to order.

Why choose an 18k gold pendant?

• A purity of 750 parts per thousand: 18k gold contains 75% pure gold, for the richest colour of the three purities we offer.
• Solid gold, gold all the way through: it can be repolished and does not oxidise as silver does.
• A stone-set bail, wide enough to take a Cuban chain.
• Three stones to choose from: VVS1 moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond.
• More than 500 designs, in sizes from 1 to 3 inches.

The designs in the catalogue

More than 120 new designs, each in three stones

Our collection of new pendants has just grown by more than 120 designs, all available in moissanite, lab-grown diamond and natural diamond.

Maps, signs and symbols

The country maps say where you come from. The twelve signs of the zodiac are worn like a portrait. The gold cross pendant and the other symbols of faith are gathered among the religious pendants. The gold letter pendant and the numbers carry an initial or a date.

Animals and good-luck charms

Phoenix, tiger, dragon: the animal pendants have real character. The horseshoe, the clover, the hamsa hand and the protective eye make up the good-luck charms.

18k, 14k or 10k gold: what really changes

Colour and prestige

The higher the purity, the richer the colour. At 750 parts per thousand, gold keeps a full shade that you recognise at a glance. 14k is 585 parts per thousand, and 10k is 417. 18k remains the benchmark of fine jewellery.

Scratches and cost

A purer gold is slightly more prone to scratches than a more heavily alloyed one. For the same design, 18k is also the most expensive of the three purities. Compare it with the 14k gold pendant, which is harder, or with the 10k gold pendant, the gentlest on the budget. Our article 14K or 18K gold explains the difference.

Which stone should you choose?

Moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond

Moissanite, created in a laboratory, measures about 9.25 on the Mohs scale and shines with a very lively sparkle. In VVS1, its inclusions are tiny. It passes the classic diamond tester, but it is not a diamond. The lab-grown diamond is a real diamond, with a hardness of 10, created in a laboratory. The natural diamond, formed in the earth, is the rarest of the three. The guide moissanite or diamond helps you decide.

Finish, size and chain

White gold, yellow gold or rose gold

The colour of gold comes from the alloy, not from paint. The yellow gold pendant keeps the warm shade of gold, the rose gold pendant contains more copper, and the white gold pendant is alloyed with pale metals. The finish is chosen on the product page.

The pendant is worn with a chain

The pendant is ordered on its own: it goes with a chain that you choose separately. Our 18k gold chains match it, and the gold pendant necklace is put together to your taste.

A personalised design

For a personalised gold pendant, the made-to-measure service generally takes 2 to 4 weeks, with the time stated on the quote.

Caring for your pendant

Take it off for sport, housework and swimming, and put on perfume and cream before wearing it. Clean it in lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, dry it with a soft cloth, and store each piece separately.

Frequently asked questions

Can an 18k gold pendant really be passed down?

Yes. An 18k gold pendant for women, like an 18k gold pendant for men, is solid gold: it can be repolished and kept for decades.

Does 18k gold scratch more easily?

A little, because it contains less alloy than 14k or 10k.

Is the chain included with the pendant?

No. For a gold chain and pendant, order the two separately.
