Fancy color diamonds are natural stones whose pink, blue, green or red color comes from trace elements or structural anomalies in the crystal, rather than from treatments or enhancements. The most vivid examples are among the rarest gemstones the earth produces.
A Storied Heritage
A diamond's history as a gift material begins in India in the 4th century BCE: traded along ancient routes connecting South Asia to the Mediterranean before cutting techniques existed, the stone valued across cultures and centuries in forms so different from the modern brilliant that the continuity is in the material itself rather than how it has been shaped.
Built For Ease
Bail replacement can occur because of wear at the attachment point over years of regular use or a desire to switch chain styles and sizes on a mechanically attached or hinged bail. On pendants where the bail was designed as a distinct mechanical component, replacement by a jeweler is a straightforward repair. Soldered bails, integrated into the pendant's metal body, require more involved work to replace.
