12.38ct Absolute™ Checkerboard-Cut Pendant with 18" Chain
Avg. Customer Rating
Absolute Checkerboard-Cut Pendant. Round, checkerboard-cut Absolute simulated diamond (approx. 15mm) set by prongs that have pear-shaped tips. Round Absolutes (approx. 1.10mm) bead-set in tips. Tiered rope-design on open gallery. Absolute Checkerboard-Cut Pendant Feature: Approx. 12.38ct Sterling silver (rhodium-plated) or vermeil Measures approx. 1"L x 5/8"W 18" box chain with spring ring clasp Polished finish Stamped .925 Made in China Boxed STONE INFORMATION Prong-set Absolute approx. 15mm, 12.35ct Bead-set Absolute approx. 1.10mm, .03ct BUYER'S INFORMATION This is the largest checkerboard cut pendant we currently offer to the customer! The round is our most popular cut in Absolute, yet we've added this special checkerboard faceting on top for a bit different of a sparkle, yet it's still so stunning. With over 12 carats, this is for no person scared of making a statement, as it sparkles for miles! The beaded basket that it sits upon is very unique while only 2 prongs hold the stone down so all you see is its facets. Absolute The look of diamonds Now you can enjoy the look of real, classic diamonds for a fraction of the cost. Top quality It's one of the finest-cut simulated diamonds available today. "A" quality stones The Absolute is considered an "A" quality stone. More light reflection than a diamond Sterling silver Sterling silver is 92.5% silver combined with 7.5% of a stronger alloy, which is generally copper Pure silver is soft; therefore, the harder copper is added to make the metal workable as jewelry Rhodium plating a hard, corrosion-resistant, silvery-white element of the platinum metal group used as an alloying agent to harden platinum and palladium very bright, hard, and highly reflective Vermeil 120 mils (3 microns) of 18K gold over sterling silver The marriage of 2 precious metals! with each piece of jewelry, you are wearing both silver and gold Incredible value Note: The Absolute simulated diamond carat weight represents the approximate weight of a real diamond of the same size.

Love the size of this pendant. It is like wearing a big diamond. However, the pendant keeps turning on the chain and I think a stronger chain is in order. Other than that I am very happy with my choice. Thank you HSN!

This is a great pendant to wear for the holidays, out with the girls or partys. I happened to get the checkerboard cut earrings that are also on clearance to match and both of them together, wow! This pendant is also checkerboard-cut in the back adding more shine and sparkle! It also comes with a beautiful box chain, which was a suprise! Great deal for the pendant, better yet, the box chain too for they are pricey! When you open that box, be suprised! For it is much more better than the vedio!

I just couldn't resist the super-sized bling glinting from the TV screen - couldn't turn away. I HAD to buy it. It was wonderfully HEAVY and SUPER clear with LOTS of fire, but as glamorous as I am, I just couldn't pull it off.. had to send it back with tears in my eyes. Now if they made a Smaller version of the same item with a beautiful CLEAR sparkly stone like this one had (preferably in 14k, or 18k gold), I would DEFINITELY buy it again! High five to the women who WERE able to make it work!

I thought it would be a 'fun' piece to wear with some of the very large absolute cocktail type rings. This is not suppose to be believable, it's suppose to be a fun, large bling pendant. I changed out the chain to a 30" sterling silver(I bought the silver pendant) and it looks great as a longer piece of jewelry. The longer chain creates a nice movement and lots of sparkle.

This pendant is just enough to add a touch of perfect sparkle. But if you want to glam it all out, I recommend the Roberta Chiarella "Incredible" Earrings Item #374-309 and the Victoria Wieck 6.10ct Absolute™ Round Solitaire Cocktail Ring Item #371-277 to go with this pendant. They all match beautifully together.

I LOVE the pendant, however..the chain was so knotted it took me about 8 minutes to untangle it, and the chain was tarnished..so much so that it was black and the color wore off on my fingers and made them smell (YUCK)!
However I wanted it for the pendant and I am not disappointed what so ever in the stone! I'm gonna buy a new chain and go to my daughters wedding and wear it as if I were the queen of England on what promises to be one of my proudest days ever!

this is large, but it is lovely. maybe it is not believable as a diamond, but look at how much costume jewelry there is out there. this just adds a look of class and sparkle that is not typical, and personally it suits me just fine. the stone is about the size of a dime. would be nice on longer chain or even on a short one just below the throat. bought the matching earrings too. not sorry i did! very happy with purchase. i think it is lovely!

THIS PENDANT IS BEAUTIFUL!!, I ORDER BOTH COLORS BUT I DECIDED TO KEEP ONLY THE SILVER COLOR, THE REFLECTION OF THE SPARKLE IN THE SILVER COLOR IS MORE INTENSE THAN THE GOLD TONE, BESIDES THE GOLD TONE NEVER LAST, OVER THE TIME IT FADE MAYBE FOR THE REST OF GUYS IS OK, NOT FOR ME!, I WILL WEAR IT EVERY DAY AS A SIGNATURE PIECE I GOT A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ALREADY, AND WHO CARES IF IS A DIAMOND?, THE PENDANT IS BEAUTIFUL AND IS WHAT IT COUNTS!!

This is very sparkly & just beautiful. If you want believability, not with this unless you are that famous "O", just because of the size of the stone.It can be worn short & is lovely. I have a 40" goldtone chain that fits in the bail so it hangs down below the chest. I think it makes the piece more of a fun,wearable "every day" piece rather than a "formal" special occasion piece. Some solitaire dangle earrings,8-10 total carat weight would be great. Keep the affordable gold tone coming HSN.

Beautiful! Before some reviewers start in with,"It's too big to be believable,"it doesn't matter.I am aware it's too big to pass off as a real diamond. I bought it for its size and brilliant shine of a star!It's nice for formal & causual wear. I have the silver. I think the gold would take away from the breath taking sparkle of the star like cz. I have worn it to the grocery store. It's well made,bright,uplifting & makes me smile when ever I look at it.

This pendant is amazing and what sparkle! It was shocked when I opened the box. I however, am sending it back not for any complaints due to quality, but because I was wanting something to wear for every day. This is definately too big for that. Didn't seem that big on the models. It would be outstanding for evening or formal wear and I would definately recommend it for that. I avoid going places where formal attire is required.
