This necklace suits a range of occasions—from formal events and weddings to anniversaries and refined everyday wear. The 18" length rests gracefully at the collarbone, while the front diamond V centerpiece adds a touch of understated brilliance without shouting for attention. The combination of a secure silk-knotted strand, a decorative gold clasp, and a delicate diamond accent makes this piece feel both luxurious and wearable, with enduring appeal and potential as a meaningful heirloom. To maintain its beauty, store separately, avoid harsh chemicals, gently wipe with a soft cloth after wear, and have the knots and clasp inspected periodically to ensure lasting durability.
