Lab Grown Drilled Diamond Necklaces

Lab Grown Drilled Diamond Necklaces in New Zealand

A drilled diamond necklace offers a distinctive way to showcase a diamond. A small hole through the stone provides an attachment point for a connecting ring or another component, reducing the need for a conventional surrounding setting. Explore Nura Lab’s lab grown drilled diamond necklaces for designs that place emphasis on the diamond’s outline and movement.

A Minimal-Metal Diamond Design

Without a traditional bezel or basket surrounding the diamond, a drilled design leaves much of the stone visible. The attachment becomes a subtle part of the jewellery, allowing the diamond itself to remain the main feature. Its movement depends on the position of the hole and the construction of the connecting components.

For a different framed appearance, explore our bezel necklaces. For designs with spaced diamond stations along a chain, browse our diamonds by the yard necklaces.

Explore Diamond Shapes and Movement

The shape of a suspended diamond influences the necklace’s character. An elongated outline can create a distinct drop, while a rounded shape gives a softer appearance. Check each product page for the diamond shape, measurements and attachment details.

Choosing Your Necklace

Compare the diamond dimensions, carat weight, chain length and connecting components when choosing a drilled diamond necklace. Product photographs help show how the diamond hangs, while the measurements give a clearer indication of scale.

Consider where you would like the diamond to sit and whether the listed measurements include any suspended drop. Check the metal specifications, clasp details and chain options before ordering.

Styling Your Drilled Diamond Necklace

Wear the necklace alone to highlight its minimal construction and diamond detail. If layering, choose different lengths so neighbouring chains and pendants have space to move without repeatedly touching the exposed diamond.

Explore our layered necklaces for other ways to combine lengths, or browse our fashion necklaces for more decorative designs.

Care for the Diamond and Its Attachment

A drilled diamond necklace needs care around both the exposed stone and its connecting point. Avoid pulling, twisting or catching the diamond, and remove the necklace before sleeping, exercise, swimming or activities that could knock it.

Follow the care instructions supplied with the design. If the connecting ring appears distorted or the attachment changes, stop wearing the necklace and arrange an inspection before using it again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a drilled diamond necklace?

A drilled diamond necklace uses a small hole through a diamond as an attachment point. A connecting component passes through the hole, allowing the stone to be incorporated into the necklace without relying solely on a conventional claw or bezel setting.

Does “drilled” mean the diamond is lab grown?

No. Drilled describes a construction detail, while lab grown describes the diamond’s origin. This collection is specifically for necklaces featuring lab grown drilled diamonds.

Are lab grown drilled diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. Lab grown diamonds have the same essential chemical composition and crystal structure as natural diamonds. Drilling adds an attachment hole; it does not change the material into a diamond simulant.

Is an attachment hole the same as clarity-enhancement laser drilling?

No. An attachment hole is made to connect the diamond to jewellery. Clarity-enhancement laser drilling is a separate process used to access certain internal inclusions. The word “drilled” in this collection refers to the jewellery attachment.

Does a drilled diamond have a conventional setting?

Many drilled designs use a connecting ring rather than a surrounding bezel or claw basket. Construction varies, so check the product photographs and specifications for how the diamond is attached.

Will the diamond move while I wear it?

It may move or turn naturally, depending on the attachment and chain construction. A suspended diamond will not necessarily remain facing forward throughout wear.

Can I wear a drilled diamond necklace every day?

Suitability depends on the individual design and your activities. The exposed stone and attachment need careful handling. Follow the supplied guidance and remove the necklace whenever it could be pulled, caught or knocked.

Can I change the chain myself?

Only if the design allows the chain to be changed without opening or altering the diamond’s attachment. Do not force a clasp through a small connector or open the connecting ring yourself. Contact Nura Lab if you would like to discuss a different chain.

How should I clean a drilled diamond necklace?

Follow the instructions supplied with your necklace. Handle the diamond and attachment gently, avoid pulling on the connecting point, and do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaning unless a jeweller has confirmed it is suitable for the complete design.
