R&I Patton | Black Diamond Necklace

black diamond faceted beads, 16ctw on 14k yellow gold handmade chain and clasp. 18” adjustable. 

These diamonds are irradiated to become black. It’s a permanent, stable change. (R) can be written on the receipt to indicate that the beads have this enhancement.

They are strung on very fine, supple stainless steel wire. This is the only material that diamonds won’t cut through.
Because the wire is metal it can be kinked if mishandled.
Don’t sleep in them. Don’t swim in them. Coil loosely, unclasped in storage.
