COURTNEY Solitaire Diamond Sterling Silver Necklace

Effortless sparkle, barely there.

An 8mm round brilliant cubic zirconia rests at the neck with no chain in sight. It seems to float.

The COURTNEY's stone hangs on a fine, clear nylon thread that all but disappears against the skin in natural light. All you see is a point of brilliant white light at the base of the neck. There's no pendant and no visible support, so people look twice.

At 8mm, the stone is large enough to make the illusion surprising. Its round brilliant facets throw back bright sparkle with flashes of colour, and the effect is visible from across a table. A compact setting in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver holds it at the centre of the thread. It's small and bright, so the eye reads stone, not mount.

The thread is a fixed 40cm, so the stone rests at the base of the neck. Wear it alone for the full floating effect. Or layer it beneath a shorter fine chain, where the visible chain above makes the floating stone below look even more unexpected.

For a smaller, quieter float, see the Mini Courtney with its 6.5mm stone.

Care note: The clear nylon thread isn't waterproof. Take the COURTNEY off before showering, swimming or exercising. Keep it away from perfume, lotion and harsh chemicals, and store it in its box when you're not wearing it.

It arrives in an MNML gift box with a polishing cloth, ready to give.

FAQ

Is the stone on the COURTNEY a diamond?
No. The COURTNEY is set with an 8mm round brilliant 5A cubic zirconia, a high-grade lab-created stone.

How does the floating effect work?
The stone hangs on a fine, clear nylon thread instead of a metal chain. In natural light, the thread almost disappears against the skin, so the stone seems to float at the base of the neck.

Can people see the nylon thread?
In natural light and at normal distance, it's very hard to see. Under strong indoor lighting or camera flash, the thread can catch the light and become slightly visible. That's normal for clear nylon necklaces.

What's the difference between the COURTNEY and the Mini Courtney?
Both use the same clear nylon thread, the same rhodium-plated silver setting and the same fixed 40cm length. The COURTNEY has an 8mm stone for a confident, eye-catching float. The Mini Courtney has a 6.5mm stone for a quieter, more delicate look.

How long does the nylon thread last?
The thread is strong enough for regular wear with care. Like all clear nylon, though, it can gradually stretch, fray or lose some clarity with sweat, skin oils and time. Keep it dry, away from perfume and lotion, and stored flat in its box to help it last.

Can I get the COURTNEY wet?
No. The nylon thread isn't waterproof. Take it off before showering, swimming, exercising or any time you'll sweat heavily.

Is the length adjustable?
No. The COURTNEY is a fixed 40cm, so it rests at the base of the neck on most people.

Can I layer the COURTNEY?
Yes. A shorter fine metal chain above it works well. The visible chain makes the floating stone below look even more striking.

Can I wear the COURTNEY and the Mini Courtney together?
It isn't recommended. Both are a fixed 40cm, so the two stones would sit in the same place and the threads could tangle. For a layered look, pair one of them with a shorter or longer metal chain instead.

How do I clean the COURTNEY?
Wipe the stone and setting gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Use the polishing cloth on the silver setting only, with a light touch, and keep it off the nylon thread.

Will the silver setting tarnish?
Sterling silver can darken over time, and rhodium plating wears gradually with regular use. Keep the necklace dry and away from chemicals, and store it in its box.

Is the COURTNEY suitable for sensitive skin?
Rhodium plating over 925 sterling silver is well tolerated by most skin types, and the clear nylon thread is smooth against the skin. If your skin reacts easily to metals, the titanium pieces in MNML's Elements collection are the most reliable choice.

Is the COURTNEY a good gift?
Yes. The floating effect gets a reaction the first time it's worn. It arrives in an MNML gift box with a polishing cloth, ready to give.
