Wrap Yourself in Diamonds by the Yard Necklaces
First designed by renowned jewelry designer Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. in the 1970s, diamonds by the yard is an elegant necklace style where long metal chains are dotted with diamonds. Understated enough to wear every day yet precious enough to turn heads, the diamonds by the yard style necklace has been a staple in the jewelry scene for over four decades. Today, there are countless sumptuous versions of this style of necklace, including the even more lavish diamonds by the inch design.
Stylish Diamonds By the Yard Necklaces
Wrapping the diamonds by the yard necklace several times around your neck situates the diamonds around your décolletage, giving the impression of floating diamonds on the neckline. This style looks fantastic on both bare skin or sitting on the material of an outfit.
For a more vintage vibe, this diamonds by the yard necklace in 14k white gold with 2.78 carats of diamonds includes beautifully sectioned off clusters of diamonds housed within a metal frame further adorned with a milgrain detail.
If you’re searching for even more diamonds, then this white gold diamonds by the yard necklace with 11.88 cts of gems may be the one for you. Diamonds by the yard may perhaps be misleading as there are in fact 66 diamonds incorporated into the 32-inch gold chain for an unforgettable look — much more than just one diamond per yard.
Yet another style is one that features a larger stone at the center, along with the smaller stones dotted along the chain. Take for instance this diamonds by the inch necklace that includes a GIA certified round center diamond weighing 3.01cts accompanied by over 5.5 cts of diamond accents. This jewelry piece will impress even the most discerning tastemakers.
While round diamonds are the most common cut used in diamonds by the yard necklaces, other gem cuts are also available. This diamonds by the inch necklace incorporates both princess-cut diamonds, as well as a pear-shape gem. Dangling from the white gold chain is a GIA-certified center pear-shape diamond weighing 3.84cts, followed by approximately 5cts of princess-cut diamonds running along the length of the necklace. Definitely a cut above the rest.
Pile Them On or Wear Them Individually
Cherished for their versatility, diamonds by the yard necklaces look just as gorgeous piled on or worn individually. Plus, they pair seamlessly with either jeans and a tee, a classic collared shirt, or a red-carpet gown. You really can’t go wrong with these quintessential necklaces.
Whether you’re looking for a new everyday statement piece or show-stopping jewelry for a special event, don’t miss these long gold necklaces adorned with brilliant diamonds.
