About design your own gemstone necklace
A custom gemstone necklace is the most personal way to wear color: choose the stone — sapphire, emerald, aquamarine, or any of the twelve birthstones — and we build the pendant around it.
Pick a bezel mount for protection and a modern outline, or prongs to let more light through, in 14k or 18k yellow, white, or rose gold or platinum, on the chain length you actually wear. Our concierge sources three stone options in your budget within days, each vetted the way we vet our diamonds.
Every design-your-own gemstone necklace is made to order in two to three weeks, ships free and insured, and is guaranteed for life.
Design Your Own Gemstone Necklace FAQ
How do I choose a gemstone for a necklace?+
Start with meaning — a birthstone or a favorite color — then consider hardness: sapphire and ruby handle daily wear easily, while emerald and opal prefer gentler treatment. A bezel setting protects softer stones beautifully at the neckline.
What is the best chain length for a pendant necklace?+
Sixteen inches sits at the collarbone, eighteen just below it — the classic pendant length — and twenty inches suits layering or higher necklines. We make each necklace to your chosen length.
How much does a custom gemstone necklace cost?+
It ranges widely with the stone: fine aquamarine and garnet pendants can start in the hundreds, while top sapphires and emeralds run into the thousands. Tell the concierge your budget and they will present three vetted options within days.
Bezel or prong setting — which is better for a gemstone pendant?+
Bezel wraps the stone in metal, protecting edges and giving a clean modern outline — ideal for softer stones like emerald. Prongs show more of the stone and let in more light, which suits durable gems like sapphire.
Are birthstone necklaces a good gift?+
They are one of the safest fine-jewelry gifts there is: personal without needing a ring size, wearable daily, and meaningful at any budget. Made-to-order pieces take two to three weeks, so order ahead of the occasion.
How do I care for a gemstone necklace?+
Warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush handle most stones; skip ultrasonic cleaners for emerald, opal, and pearl. Store it clasped and separate from harder jewelry, and let us inspect the setting whenever you like — it is covered for life.
