What makes the Diamond Initials pendant different from other initial pendants?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost initial pendants are made from a gold letter with small accent diamonds set into or around it. The Diamond Initials pendant is the opposite: it is a single lab-grown diamond that has been precision-cut from one piece into the shape of your letter. The entire visible form is diamond. That is what gives it its remarkable brilliance and fire - there is no gold letter underneath catching the light instead of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. What is a lab-grown diamond, and is it a real diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, a lab-grown diamond is a real diamond. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness, and optical properties as a mined diamond. The only difference is where it was formed - a laboratory rather than deep underground. Lab diamonds are graded using the same internationally recognised standards as mined diamonds, and the Diamond Initials pendant uses DEF colour, VVS clarity stones, which sit at the top end of the grading scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. What does DEF colour and VVS clarity mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiamond colour is graded from D (completely colourless) to Z (visibly yellow). DEF represents the top three grades - the stone will appear bright white and clear with no visible tint. VVS stands for Very Very Slightly Included, which means any internal characteristics are so minor they are undetectable to the naked eye. Together, DEF and VVS represent exceptional diamond quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Can I choose any letter of the alphabet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Diamond Initials pendant is available in all letters A to Z. Each letter is priced individually, because the diamond weight and complexity of the cut varies by letterform. Simple letters require less diamond material than complex ones with multiple strokes. The price for your initial is shown when you select your letter at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Why does the price vary by letter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe price varies because the diamond weight and complexity of the cut differs by letter. Letters with more strokes - such as M, W, S, and B - require a larger diamond and more precision cutting time than simpler letterforms. The product page shows the price for each available letter. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. How long will my pendant take to arrive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach Diamond Initials pendant is made to order. Once your order is placed, your initial is carved and the pendant is set and quality-checked before dispatch. Please allow four to six weeks from order date. You will receive an email confirmation when your order is placed and a shipping notification when it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7. Does the pendant come with a chain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, the Diamond Initials pendant is sold as a pendant only. This is intentional - it allows you to wear it on a chain that suits your personal style and the length you prefer. The bail fits most standard chains up to approximately 3mm wide. If you need a chain recommendation, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8. What gold is used in the setting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Diamond Initials pendant is set in solid 9ct yellow gold. This is not gold-plated or gold-filled - it is solid 9ct gold throughout. The warm yellow tone of 9ct gold complements the bright white brilliance of the DEF diamond beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9. Can I return or exchange my pendant if I change my mind?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause each pendant is made specifically for you - your letter, your diamond - we are unable to accept returns or exchanges once production has commenced.

Why should I buy a lab diamond initial pendant from Desiderate rather than a chain jeweller?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Diamond Initials pendant is not a mass-produced piece. It is a precision-cut single diamond in the shape of your letter, made to order for you. Chain jewellers selling initial pendants are typically offering a gold letter with very small accent diamonds - a completely different product at a much lower price point. If you want a genuine diamond that is also your initial, this is it. Desiderate has been designing and selling fine gemstone and diamond jewellery online in Australia for nearly ten years, and every piece in the White Fire collection is made to a standard we stand behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e13.
