It's kind of a bitchy sentiment but I do agree in general that a signature piece should hold sentimental value. Most of my jewelry holds sentimental value, though, and its part of how I see jewelry. I don't wear a necklace daily though. I'm vaguely anti necklace.

Pretty! I like both. I wear a 1.5 carat diamond that’s between theee two sizes. I wear it every day.

Does it make you nervous at all to wear such a large diamond on a necklace? I’ve had necklaces break while I’m wearing them, so I’d be worried that the necklace would break and the diamond would be gone and I wouldn’t realize till it was too late to find it.

It does not. While that’s a legitimate concern, I’ve never had any problems. It’s short enough (center of clavicle) that it doesn’t get touched by much.

Van cleef and arpels Alhambra vintage

white mother of pearl and yellow gold chain

Whatever I bought at the last jewelry party I attended.

I wear a large emerald on a thin gold chain. It was my mother's.

I rarely wear earring shoes or bracelets. Necklaces I switch up daily. I most often wear pearls, baroque and otherwise or fabric/silk chains with seashells as my body reacts to junk jewelry/nickel.

I’ve been wearing the single diamond Tiffany Diamond by the Yard almost daily since I received it for my high school graduation (16 years ago). I don’t even notice it on.

A question to the diamonds by the yard/diamond solitaire necklace wearers: how do you keep the diamonds from flipping? I have a solitaire that I never wear because it always flips over.

Instead, I wear a gold and garnet necklace that my husband bought me on our honeymoon.

Something like this, but the chain is smoother, no obvious links. It's relatively short, and the diamond is about 2 carats.

+1. I've worn it for almost 20 years, and it has never snagged on a sweater or broken. The chain is platinum and has a heavy "lobster claw" catch.

I wear this in gold:

At least until my toddler or baby rips it off. I love delicate necklaces but this it my 4th one from dogeared since said children keep grabbing them!

Van Cleef & Arpel Alhambra (white gold). Small version.

I wear this Roberto Coin necklace: https://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/roberto-coin-diamond-station-necklace-prod197880170?ecid=NMCS__GooglePLA&utm_source=google_shopping&adpos=1o5&scid=scplpsku169711016&sc_intid=sku169711016&gclid=Cj0KCQiAiZPvBRDZARIsAORkq7eVYUkEMptrwqZ9qjP7P5SmXN-wDDGa6O8TRT4ZdFwMtbL6iXViGS0aAiFxEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

The diamond is super super tiny and the necklace chain is thin. Very unassuming.

I have a 24k Asian gold necklace that I've had since I was a kid, never taken it off. It has never broke and it goes with everything I wear. Somehow it has survive through 30+ years and 4 kids. Whatever you end up buying, just make sure it's good quality.

I wear a silver heart pendant my DH gave me and a small rectangle with my DS's first initial on a simple chain.

A very small single diamond. It was made from a stone from a sentimental piece from my family.
