About Graduated Necklace Mountings

Graduated necklace mountings feature progressively larger stone seats at the center, tapering to smaller stones toward the clasp. This creates a natural focal point and elegant proportion that follows the neckline.

Our graduated designs are available in 14K and 18K gold (yellow, white, rose) in 40cm and 45cm lengths. Each listing provides the full seat schedule: center stone size, intermediate sizes, and end stone sizes, all in exact millimeter dimensions for precise stone sourcing.

Graduated necklaces offer visual impact comparable to uniform tennis necklaces but at a lower total stone cost, since the smaller end stones are less expensive per carat. This makes them an accessible option for clients who want a full necklace at a lower total investment.

Frequently asked questions

How does the stone graduation work?
The center stone seat is the largest, with sizes decreasing symmetrically toward both ends. For example, a design might go from 4.5mm center to 3mm at the ends. Each listing shows the full size schedule.
How many different stone sizes do I need to source?
Typically 3-5 different stone sizes per graduated necklace. The exact count depends on the model. Each listing provides the complete seat schedule with quantities per size.
Are graduated necklaces less expensive than tennis necklaces?
The mounting cost is similar, but total piece cost is lower because graduated designs use smaller (less expensive) stones at the ends. This reduces the total carat weight and stone investment compared to a uniform design.
