5 Carat Fancy Light Yellow VS2 Pear Shape Diamond Pendant Necklace
The center stone is a 5.57-carat Fancy Light Yellow VS2 Pear Shape natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 700761). Pear shape fancy color diamonds above five carats are rarely encountered at consistent grade — at this weight, the combination of an even Fancy Light Yellow body color and VS2 clarity represents a configuration that surfaces infrequently among GIA submissions of comparable size. The stone is set as a pendant in 18-karat yellow gold.
GIA Color Grade: Fancy Light Yellow
GIA grades natural yellow diamonds on a saturation scale running from Faint through Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid, and Fancy Deep. Fancy Light Yellow indicates measurable, consistent face-up yellow saturation that distinguishes the stone from the lower Faint and Light categories, which exhibit color only under controlled laboratory conditions. VS2 clarity places the diamond in the very-slightly-included range: inclusions are not detectable by the unaided eye and have no effect on light transmission or face-up transparency at this carat weight.
Why Pear Shape for Fancy Color Diamonds
The Pear Shape is a hybrid cut — it combines the modified brilliant facet pattern of a round with the elongated outline of a marquise — making it structurally well-suited to fancy color stones. Its brilliant faceting concentrates color saturation in the rounded shoulder and apex zones, yielding stronger face-up color than step cuts of equivalent weight. The elongated silhouette also maximizes apparent size relative to carat weight, a meaningful consideration for a pendant worn close to the neckline.
18-Karat Yellow Gold Pendant Construction
The mount is handmade 18-karat yellow gold, the standard metal choice for Fancy Light Yellow diamonds because its warm spectral reflectance reinforces the stone’s body color, visually deepening perceived saturation without altering the GIA grade. The pendant employs a prong setting to allow unobstructed light entry through the pavilion, preserving the diamond’s brilliance and keeping the full Pear Shape outline visible face-up. The bail and mount profile are proportioned to the stone’s five-plus-carat scale, ensuring balance during wear.
