Pavé Disc By-the-Yard Diamond Necklace in 14K Yellow Gold

This by-the-yard necklace places a series of small discs along a 14K yellow gold chain. The discs alternate: some are set with round natural diamonds in pavé, others are left as plain polished gold. Together they total 0.27 carats.

By-the-yard designs space their elements across the chain rather than grouping them at the center. The result is a line of light that follows the curve of the neck, with the chain visible between each station. Because the diamonds are small and pavé set, they sit close to the surface of each disc and catch light from several directions as the necklace moves.

The alternating pattern of diamond and plain discs keeps the piece quiet enough for daily wear. Yellow gold warms the tone of the diamonds and reads softly against most skin tones. It layers easily with longer chains or pendants, and works on its own as a single fine line.

Each disc is set by hand into the chain, so the stations lie flat rather than twisting forward.
