I am hoping that this isn't a duplicate thread, but I was curious...
What necklace do you wear every day (or wear most frequently?) Why?
I am currently deciding how to set a small (4.7mm) heirloom diamond I have after I ditched my Leen Heyne ring idea, and am curious to see what YOU wear! I am seeing (fingers cross) if Kataoka will set my heirloom stone as they seem finicky about custom projects.
(using my diamond instead of the center rose cut diamond/red spinel and I'd pick platinum)

I love this! Do you mind sharing where the locket is from. I have been looking for some time but have yet to find something that looks current and all day wearable — until you posted yours. Cheers!

I wear a teeeny bezel set diamond stud on a delicate gold chain. Feel like it goes with everything. But I think come upgrade time I might go for a herringbone chain?
Seems like a lot of us wear similar diamond solitaire necklace daily .
I used to take it on and off and the clasp broke after years of taking it on and off. I was just lucky that it didn’t fall off my neck and lost it as the clasp was barely holding the necklace together. I would have been devastated if I lost it as it is my original engagement ring. I haven’t taken it off since getting a new clasp. I feel lost without it. Only time I had to take it off was for a surgery a year ago.
Mine is a very small Tiffany Elsa Peretti DBTY necklace.
My boyfriend of 6 months surprised me with a trip to New York in 1997 (my first and last trip to New York) - and I had a dream of visiting Tiffany’s whilst we were there. After going backwards and forwards two or three times I eventually purchased myself this necklace. I had had a very tough year and though I couldn’t afford it, I decided to go for it! I didn’t know my boyfriend secretly brought me the matching earrings and he gave me those later. I have not taken them off since - other than for cleaning or repair. So have worn them pretty much 24hrs a day for 15 years this year!
I once lost the necklace as the clasp became a little loose after having two children who pulled on my necklace as babies. I retraced my steps everywhere including the pool we had visited that day. No sign of it anywhere and I was devastated. I later found it attached to my dressing gown. I cried with relief.
Sometimes it’s not the jewellery but the story! These pieces are my most treasured.
What a sweet ending to this story! I can almost feel your relief from here. I hope the clasp has since been tightened on this cherished piece! It is beautiful on you.

Such a relief that you found your necklace! That would have been a horrible thing, if you'd have lost it.
I am similar to you, in that my everyday pendant was from Tiffany's but was a birthday gift from my then boyfriend of 6 weeks (at which point I knew he was a keeper!) to match the diamond studs that my parents bought for my 25th. We've been together for 16 years in April (married for 15 in September) & I only really remove them to clean. Definitely my most precious things
that’s so pretty and dainty

I shared this in a different thread, but thought it might fit the spirit here. I love to see everyone’s choices for daily wear. Apologies to those who are seeing this twice!
The goal was a barely-there insouciant everyday necklace that would meld with the skin, approximating the floating solitaire look but with a sculptural twist. Its bloom sits tame and demure in the hollow of the neck on the shorter setting, whereas the longer setting untethers its expressive character, allowing it to glimmer as it rocks subtly on its pointed back in response to movement. I appreciate that its outlined borders and 3D construction help keep the diamonds away from skin oils between cleanings!
Thank you for letting me share, and apologies that I can’t post a more zoomed-out modeling photo!
LOVE it!!!!
