DIAMOND RIVIERA

SHABAAM…….! We love the Riviera. Stately and elegant....sends shivers down our spine.

A diamond Riviera necklace is a type of necklace that features a continuous line of graduated diamonds, usually mounted in a prong setting like this show-stopper JamesAllen. The diamonds in a Riviera necklace are typically round brilliant-cut, but they can also be other shapes such as pear, marquise, or oval-cut. The name "Riviera" is said to have originated from the French word for "coastline", as the necklace's sparkling diamonds are said to resemble the glittering sea along a coastline.

A classic Riviera necklace usually has diamonds of the same shape, size, and quality set in a graduated pattern, with the largest diamonds at the center and smaller ones on either side. The necklace is typically made with high-quality diamonds and set in a precious metal such as white gold, yellow gold, or platinum.

Riviera necklaces are often considered timeless and elegant. They are popular choices for special occasions such as weddings, red carpet events, other formal events, or momentous moments. They can be worn on their own as a statement piece or layered with other necklaces for a more eclectic look.

This style necklace has become one of the core pieces of jewelry one may acquire as a gift over a lifetime.
