The same diamond, the same certification — at the price it always should have been.
“She stopped keeping everyone else close and herself at arm's length, and kept her own light near her heart.”
The Vicino al Cuore is built around a 2-carat oval-cut lab-grown diamond, colour F, clarity VS (2 ct total), set in 14K White Gold / 14K Yellow Gold and IGI-certified — independently graded, permanent, internationally recognised. It is a lab-grown diamond: atom-for-atom identical to a mined stone in fire, hardness and brilliance — the only reason a diamond of this grade reaches you at this price.
The oval is the round brilliant elongated — the same fire, a longer line on the hand, and the quiet choice of those who know diamonds well.
Of everything a woman wears, a pendant is the one that rests closest — not on the hand held out to the world, not at the busy wrist, but low at the throat, over the heart, close and quiet. Vicino al Cuore — Close to the Heart — is an oval solitaire made for exactly that place: a single bright oval hung where it rests against her, the one clear light she chose to keep closest. If the quiet intimacy of this pendant has already reached you, you already understand a woman learning to keep her own light near.
At its heart is an oval-cut diamond, colorless in the rare D-to-F range — the elongated brilliant, soft and generous in its fire, hung vertically so it lies long and calm against the skin. It is a single stone, unhurried and complete, chosen to be worn close rather than shown off.
It is worked in 14-karat white gold, mirror-polished so the chain reads as a thread of light and the oval glows clear against the dark, close to where the heart beats.
“She stopped keeping everyone else close and herself at arm's length, and kept her own light near her heart.”
It hangs in a fine four-prong basket from a delicate cable chain, the setting kept minimal so nothing comes between the stone and the skin it rests against. This is jewelry worn for the wearer first — felt as much as seen, warm against the heart.
The oval's calm, rolling light suits the intimate place it hangs: not a flash for the room, but a steady glow for the one who wears it, catching the light softly when she moves and resting quiet when she is still.
And understand exactly what it is: a laboratory-grown diamond of certified, genuine brilliance. The same carbon, the same fire, the same forever as any stone taken from the earth — chosen because a woman can keep her own light close without asking the world to give anything up for it.
We designed Vicino al Cuore from a blank page and hung the oval so it would lie calm and close against the skin. It imitates no house and defers to none. Its proportions were refined until the stone rested easy at the heart and the chain vanished into light — the hardest thing to achieve when a pendant must feel intimate rather than displayed.
Here is the truth the great houses keep behind glass: an oval solitaire pendant of this colour and finish carries a price that lowers voices. Ours does not. It was set, deliberately and for good, beneath what they would ask — because keeping your own light close should never come at a ransom.
Picture it at the base of your throat under a collar only you know is there, warm against you all day; picture it against a plain neckline in the evening, one clear glow resting over your heart. In both, it does the same quiet thing — it keeps something bright close to you, for you.
There is a truth you have been living your way toward — that you spent too long keeping everyone else close and holding yourself at arm's length, tending every other heart before your own, until you forgot to keep anything near just for you. Vicino al Cuore is the decision to keep your own light close. Not given to you by anyone. Held near, at last, by you.
The oval pendant flatters every neckline and every age; it layers or stands alone, and it will rest just as warm and close in thirty years as it does tonight. A thing kept close to the heart, like a woman who finally keeps something for herself, only grows dearer with time.
Wear it every day under everything, or on the evenings that ask for one clear light — either way, keep it close. Both are luxury. The woman who keeps her own light near her heart on an ordinary Tuesday has understood the thing the ones still holding themselves at arm's length have missed.
Every Vicino al Cuore is finished by hand and held to one question before it may leave us: would a stranger sense the quiet intimacy of it, resting close, across a crowded room. If the answer is not immediate, it stays. That standard does not move.
When it is yours, wear it home tonight on your terms and pay over time — Buy Now, Pay Later, with financing built for a life already in motion, so nothing this dear is ever kept waiting by a calendar.
Vicino al Cuore does not hang out at arm's length for the room to admire. It rests close, warm and quiet, over the heart of the woman who finally learned to keep her own light near. Bring her home.
This is the kind of luxury that does not shout, because it does not have to. Bring it home on six months at 0%, or stretch it across twenty-four, and let it be the one decision you made purely for you. You have earned every carat of it.
