18CT GOLD CLAW SET DIAMOND SOLITAIRE PENDANT
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery

Let’s face it: sometimes, the best kind of drama is the understated kind. No bells. No whistles. Just one gloriously sparkly Diamond, perched proudly in a classic 18ct Yellow Gold claw setting like the royalty it clearly is. This isn’t jewellery that screams. It purrs.
This is the pendant you wear when you’re feeling mysterious, dangerous, and slightly above it all. The kind of piece that says, “Yes, it’s real. No, I’m not telling you how much it cost.” And the best part? You get to pick your level of fabulous – from a delicate .10ct glimmer that whispers luxury to a .75ct stunner that could probably cause small traffic accidents if the sun hits it just right.
And yes, it’s also available in 9ct Yellow Gold, or if you’re a cooler-toned goddess, White Gold in both 9ct and 18ct. Because personal style is a thing, and you deserve options.
💎 Let’s Talk Diamonds, Baby
This little sparkler is graded G for colour (as in, “Gorgeous”) and SI1 for clarity, which means it looks stunning to the naked eye and doesn’t require you to take out a microscope before leaving the house. The Diamond is set in a traditional claw setting, aka maximum sparkle, minimal distraction. This isn’t your gran’s pendant (unless your gran was Elizabeth Taylor).
🔎 Why It Costs a Bit More (But Is Worth It)
Ah, yes, the British hallmarking system – because, unlike some other countries (cough cough), we don’t just slap on a price and hope for the best. Every eligible piece is independently tested and hallmarked to within an inch of its life before it's even allowed near your neck. It’s like a jewellery boot camp. My pieces are always fully hallmarked – because classy doesn’t cut corners.
✨ CARE TIPS (Because Even Diamonds Need TLC)
Just because it’s a Diamond doesn’t mean it’s indestructible. Diamonds can scratch other gemstones and metalwork – because they’re the Regina George of the jewellery world. Store them separately, check those claws from time to time, and avoid the bleachy wrath of household cleaners and swimming pools. If in doubt, a soft, moist cloth is your best mate.
💌 SHIPPING: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience
Let’s be honest – I’m not Bezos. I’m a one-woman sparkle shop, sourcing my pretties from some of the finest smiths in the land. I aim to dispatch the same day, but many pieces are made or ordered in specially for you. So here’s the tea:
- UK Shipping: 5–7 business days. Not instant, but still faster than your last ASOS return.
- International Shipping: Anywhere from 5 to 30 business days, depending on how fussy customs is feeling.
- Delays during holidays, sales, Mercury retrograde, etc., are possible. Customs duties and VAT are the buyer’s responsibility because bureaucracy is eternal.
So go on – treat yourself to a bit of quiet power. It’s the kind of piece that never goes out of style, doesn’t argue back, and makes you feel at least 12% more fabulous the moment it touches your skin. ✨
