Pear Lab-Grown Diamond Pendant, 10K
Product code: MD-14430
Material
Quantity
A pear-shaped pendant in 10K white gold, fully set with lab-grown diamonds on both the body and the bail. 10K gold is harder, so it holds the stone settings well, and the cost difference goes into the stones. Easy to pair with pear earrings.
Jewelry details
This is the only pendant in Thảo Linh's pendant collection made in 10K gold. That's no accident, and if you're weighing different gold karats, this is the part most worth reading carefully.
How 10K gold differs from other karats
The number before the K tells you the proportion of pure gold in the alloy: 10K is ten parts in twenty-four, meaning about forty-one percent gold, with the rest other metals added for color and hardness.
What many people don't expect: the lower the gold proportion, the harder the piece. Pure gold is very soft, so it's the alloy that resists dents and bending and keeps prongs from loosening over time. For a fully stone-set pendant like this — where dozens of small settings must hold tight for many years — that hardness is a real advantage.
And the trade-off: with a lower gold proportion, the value held in the metal is also lower than the same style in 14K or 18K, which is reflected in the buy-back price later. In return, that price difference goes into the stones — which is why a 10K pendant can still be fully set with stones.
With white gold specifically, color isn't a concern: white gold karats are almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
The pear shape and orientation
Unlike a round face — which looks the same from any angle — the pear has a clear orientation: one round, full end and one tapered point. On a pendant, the point always faces up toward the bail, with the round body below.
That orientation isn't just convention. The tapered end joining the bail creates a continuous line flowing down from the chain, while the heavier body at the bottom helps the pendant balance itself and always face outward rather than flipping sideways. Overall, the shape draws a vertical axis across the chest.
All the stones on this pendant are lab-grown diamonds, fully set across both the body and the bail.
An easy piece to make into a set
The pear is the most popular earring shape, so this is also the easiest pendant to match: a pair of pear earrings in the same material is enough for the whole set to read as made together, even if not from the same series.
The rule for matching: keep the same gold color and the same setting style, and let the earrings be smaller than the pendant. Earrings as large as the pendant make the face and the neck compete, and viewers don't know where to look.
If you'd like a set, staff can bring out a few earring designs in stock for you to try with this pendant right at the counter.
