Affordable jewellery brand Monica Vinader has launched their new collection featuring some stunning pieces just in time for Valentine’s Day. Crafted by sustainable materials and timeless designs, the New Hearts collection features pearls necklace and gold pendant arm candies.
But this Lab Grown Diamond Heart Necklace stands out as one of the popular classic designs that will see shoppers getting a lot of wear time and again. As little luxuries, it costs a bit more than average fashion jewellery and is priced at £250. The centre piece is a tiny heart-shaped pebble adorned with 15 pavé-set lab grown diamonds and is linked to an 18k gold vermeil chain.
The round brilliant-cut diamond heart measures a total weight of 0.09 carat and clarity of VS, which means “Very Slightly Included” and is considered “eye-clean” because they have no visible marks with the naked eye.
The necklace also has an adjustable clasp so you can find your perfect fit at either 16′, 17′ or 18′. This necklace is a sparkling addition to any look, you can wear it with a simple thin turtleneck top or with low-cut top so the decolletage area doesn’t look “too naked”.
Don’t worry about any awkward setting of the pendant as the diamond heart “moves across chain”. Fans also reacted with enthusiasm on social media, with one saying: “So dainty…gorgeous.”
“I am obsessed with hearts, I love this,” another chimed in and a third added: “Cutest dainty hearts necklace, and I loved the styling with mixing metals.” There aren’t any negative reviews mentioned on the website at the time of writing.
The brand is also loved by Princess Kate, who owns a pair of Siren Wire Earrings in 18K Gold Vermeil and Green Onyx, £128, and they have been in the royal’s jewellery collection for years, with Kate wearing them to events such as the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019 and a Royal Tour of Canda in 2016.
The Lab Grown Diamond Heart Necklace, £250, comes with a five-year warranty that covers replating, resizing and repairing. If you notice your vermeil jewellery losing its colour over time, the specialists at Monica Vinader are happy to re-plate it for you.
Where possible, they will repair your piece and send it back – good as new. If it’s not fixable and you’re still within your 5-year warranty, they will offer you a direct replacement or voucher.
