Cubic Zirconia Halo Pendant Necklace 2.00ct 14kt Yellow Gold

This Cubic Zirconia Halo Pendant Necklace puts a centre AAA-grade cubic zirconia inside a surrounding halo of smaller CZ accents, totaling 2.00 carats in 14kt yellow gold. Halo settings are a recognised classic in fine jewelry: the surrounding stones increase the visual size of the centre, frame the focal point, and create a face-up presence noticeably larger than a solitaire pendant of comparable centre weight. At 0.75 by 0.35 inches and 1.25g of 14kt yellow gold, this pendant is sized for daily chain wear at a $275 price that makes the halo style accessible.

About the Cubic Zirconia

All stones are AAA-grade cubic zirconia, a lab-created gemstone with high optical clarity and precision faceting. The 2.00 total carat weight is split between a centre stone and the surrounding halo accents. AAA is one of the higher commercial grades for cubic zirconia, indicating optical and visual quality that reads convincingly as a fine-jewelry centre stone. CZ registers between 8.0 and 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, durable enough for daily pendant wear.

About the Halo Setting

The 14kt yellow gold setting (585 purity) holds the centre cubic zirconia in a prong mount with the smaller halo accents arranged around it. Halo designs serve two functions: visually, they amplify the apparent size of the centre stone (a centre of any size in a halo reads larger face-up than the same centre in a solitaire setting), and structurally, they provide some protective stone coverage at the centre's perimeter. The halo style is one of the most-searched pendant styles in fine jewelry generally, and the cubic zirconia version delivers the look at the price of a CZ piece rather than a diamond piece.

Why Choose a Halo Pendant

Halo pendants are a classical pendant design style, the centre stone is surrounded by a circle (or square, or oval) of smaller accent stones, creating a unified face-up shape that reads larger than a solitaire equivalent. For cubic zirconia pendants specifically, the halo design is particularly useful because it amplifies the visual scale of the pendant without requiring a giant centre stone, the smaller accents do the apparent-size work that a single large CZ would otherwise need. This is why halo CZ pendants are one of the most popular categories in cubic zirconia jewelry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these diamonds?

No. All stones in this pendant are AAA-grade cubic zirconia, a lab-created gemstone. The pendant is sold openly as cubic zirconia in real 14kt yellow gold, not as a diamond piece.

Why a halo design rather than a solitaire?

Halo settings amplify the visual scale of the pendant without requiring a giant centre stone. The surrounding accents do the face-up size work, so a 2.00ct halo pendant reads larger on the chain than a 2.00ct solitaire CZ would. Halo designs also tend to read more like a fine-jewelry classic than a contemporary minimalist piece.

Is this real 14kt gold?

Yes. The setting is fabricated in real 14kt yellow gold (purity 585), not gold-plated, gold-filled, or gold-vermeil metal.

Can it be worn daily?

Yes. The 14kt gold setting and AAA cubic zirconia (Mohs 8.0-8.5) are durable enough for daily pendant wear. Avoid hard impact, ultrasonic cleaners, and steam cleaning. Clean gently with a soft cloth or mild soap and water.

Does the price include a chain?

Please contact us to confirm chain availability and length options for this pendant. We can recommend 14kt yellow gold chain styles to pair with the halo design.
