Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Ákwá Pendant different from a traditional pear-shaped diamond pendant?

Ákwá features a northwest-facing pear-shaped diamond rather than the conventional vertical orientation. Combined with its modern half-bezel setting, this positioning creates a distinctive asymmetrical silhouette.

What does Ákwá mean?

Ákwá takes its name from the Igbo word for "tears." The design draws inspiration from the shape of a falling tear, celebrating emotion, resilience, and the personal stories carried through jewelry.

Is the Ákwá Pendant available with a yellow diamond?

Yes. Ákwá is available with either a DEF colorless or yellow lab-grown pear-shaped diamond, in approximately 1ct and 2ct options.

Does the Ákwá Pendant come with a chain?

No. The pendant is sold separately from the necklace chain. It is designed to be compatible with most standard chains, although compatibility depends on the chain and clasp dimensions.

Is a half-bezel setting secure for a pear-shaped diamond?

A properly constructed half-bezel setting provides support along selected edges of the diamond while leaving other portions exposed. Like any fine jewelry setting, it should be handled carefully and inspected periodically.

Can I request a different diamond size, color, or gemstone?

Yes. ỌLA Fine Gems & Jewelry offers bespoke commissions for alternative diamond sizes, natural diamonds, colored gemstones, and other personalized design details.
