15 Carat D Flawless Pear Shape Diamond Necklace
The center stone is a 15-carat D Flawless Pear shape natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 96618). At fifteen carats, a D Flawless Pear shape occupies a category that is structurally rare — fewer than a fraction of a percent of annual GIA submissions reach this combination of weight, color, and clarity grade simultaneously. The stone is handmade-set in platinum and presented as a drop pendant.
GIA Color and Clarity: D and Flawless
On the GIA D-to-Z color scale, D is the highest achievable grade, indicating the complete absence of any detectable body color under controlled laboratory conditions with a master comparison set. Flawless is the highest clarity designation in the GIA system, confirming no inclusions or surface blemishes are visible under 10× magnification by a trained grader. The combination of D color and Flawless clarity represents the absolute ceiling of the GIA grading framework for white diamonds — a dual top-grade stone at this carat weight is rarely encountered in the market.
Why Pear Shape for a Drop Pendant
The Pear shape, a hybrid of the Round Brilliant and Marquise cuts, produces a tapered outline with a single point and a rounded base. In a drop pendant orientation, the pointed end hangs downward, creating a teardrop silhouette that elongates visually against the décolletage. The Pear’s modified brilliant facet arrangement delivers high light return while the asymmetric outline allows the full face-up surface area to read prominently — an advantage over round cuts of equivalent carat weight in pendant applications.
Platinum Drop Setting and Construction
The diamond is mounted in handmade platinum, the standard metal for stones of this grade and value due to its 95% purity, natural white color that does not affect D-grade face-up appearance, and resistance to prong wear over long-term use. The pendant bail and frame are constructed to position the stone face-up on the vertical axis, ensuring the full 15-carat face-up surface presents without tilt or rotation during wear.
