What impression does each size give?

  • A size where the presence of the single stone is clearly visible.
  • Versatile enough for both casual and formal occasions.
• 0.5ct:
  • A size with significantly increased presence, radiating a distinct sparkle.

The perplexing "0.3ct vs 0.5ct" and "0.5ct vs 1ct" dilemma

 

A common question we receive from customers is the dilemma of "0.3ct or 0.5ct" or "0.5ct or 1ct".

Here, we would highly recommend that "if you're undecided, consider a size up."

Many customers who bravely chose a larger size later say, "I'm so glad I got this size!" or "Over time, this size felt just right."

A solitaire diamond necklace is truly a "lifetime piece."

We hope you choose a size that you won't regret and that fills your heart with joy every time you wear it, for many years to come.

If you're unsure about the size, please consider the larger option. Your future satisfaction is likely to be high.

 

【Exceptional Brilliance】1ct Series also features other shapes

And for those seeking even more brilliance and individuality, BANYAN's "1ct Series" offers not only the solitaire diamond necklace (round) but also elegant oval-shaped and graceful pear-shaped diamond necklaces.

Pear-shaped Diamond Necklace 1ct

Oval Cut Diamond Necklace 1ct

Their distinctive and sophisticated sparkle, different from round cuts, will adorn your décolletage even more charmingly.

We plan to delve into the allure of these special shapes in a future blog post, so please look forward to it!
