A solitaire necklace features a single precious stone showcased at the centre of a delicate chain.
At Mayuri, our solitaire necklaces celebrate one exceptional gemstone:
This central stone, set in a refined setting, draws all the light and attention. Diamond remains the classic choice for its timeless brilliance, while coloured stones add a distinct character and unique symbolism.
The choice depends on your personal style and the symbolism you seek:
All our gemstones are selected to the strictest ethical standards, AAA quality for coloured stones and VVS for diamonds.
Absolutely. Our solitaire necklaces are available in:
Each metal complements your central stone in its own way:
Mayuri solitaire necklaces are distinguished by our unique cultural approach: every stone is chosen for its symbolism within Indian traditions, reinterpreted with Parisian elegance.
We offer a full range of gemstones beyond diamonds, all ethically certified and of superior quality.
Our settings combine traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation for outstanding security and brilliance.
Care varies slightly according to the gemstone:
Avoid harsh chemicals and store your necklace in its box to preserve the stone's brilliance and protect the metal. An annual setting check ensures your gemstone remains secure.
Absolutely. Our solitaire necklaces can be fully personalised:
You may choose a classic round diamond, an emerald-cut emerald, an oval sapphire, or a cushion-cut ruby.
Our master jewellers craft each bespoke piece in our Parisian ateliers, with a lead time of 3 to 4 weeks for personalised creations.
The ideal length depends on your build and the style you have in mind:
Larger coloured stones such as emeralds and sapphires can be beautifully framed by a slightly longer chain, while diamonds shine at every length.
Absolutely. That is the beauty of the solitaire: its elegant simplicity suits every moment.
A smaller diamond or sapphire is perfect for everyday wear, while a more striking emerald or ruby will elevate an evening look.
The solitaire necklace transcends trends and eras, making it a jewellery investment to wear for a lifetime and pass down through generations.

The questions we are asked most often about solitaire necklaces: materials, care, symbolism and styling advice.
Start by looking at your favourite jewellery and your everyday style.
If you prefer a minimalist look, opt for a small, discreet solitaire. For a bolder statement, choose a more prominent stone.
Try different lengths in front of a mirror to see what flatters your neckline most.
Round links create a softer, more fluid chain, ideal for showcasing a solitaire pendant.
Unlike flat or square links, they catch the light beautifully and give a more delicate finish.
This classic form suits every style and remains effortlessly timeless.
925 sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver, ensuring quality and lasting durability.
It is an excellent starting point for a solitaire, offering elegance at a more accessible price point than gold.
It pairs particularly well with white and blue stones such as diamonds or sapphires.
The solitaire emerged in the 19th century alongside the rise of diamonds.
Originally reserved for engagement rings, the concept extended to necklaces to celebrate the pure beauty of a single stone.
This elegant simplicity has made it a timeless classic in fine jewellery.
Begin with the stone: it should be securely set and brilliant from every angle.
Inspect the chain links, which should be uniform and cleanly soldered.
A quality solitaire always comes with a certificate of authenticity detailing the stone and metal specifications.
Technically yes, though it is rarely advisable. Ring settings are not designed to hang freely and may become damaged over time.
It is far better to have a new pendant created by a professional jeweller, who will adapt the setting specifically for wear as a necklace.
The round shape remains the safest choice to begin with. It suits every style and maximises the brilliance of the stone.
Oval and pear shapes are also very flattering, as they help to elongate the neck.
Avoid more unconventional shapes for a first purchase and save those for later.
Clean regularly with a soft cloth to prevent the natural tarnishing of silver.
For a deeper clean, use lukewarm soapy water and a soft brush between the links.
Store your necklace in a dry place, ideally in an anti-tarnish pouch.
A round stone is beautifully highlighted at 42–45 cm, sitting at the perfect position to draw the eye.
This length suits most figures and works well with a variety of necklines.
Shorter (40 cm) gives a more contemporary feel; longer (50 cm) creates a more relaxed look.
Yes, any quality solitaire should be accompanied by a certificate stating the origin of the stone.
Reputable jewellers are able to trace their gemstones from mine to finished piece.
This traceability guarantees the authenticity and, in many cases, the ethical sourcing of your purchase.
