Accent Stones Blue Sapphire Pendant 1.71 Ct., 18K White Gold

This pendant centers on a 1.71 carat fancy shape blue sapphire sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance with a long history of producing stones prized for their clear tone and lively hue. The sapphire measures 11.01 x 7.31 x 3.73 mm and carries a mixed brilliant cut, a faceting scheme that pairs a brilliant crown with a more geometric pavilion assembly to balance scintillation and color return. At eye level the clarity grade is very slightly included, these inclusions are modest and serve as natural identifiers without compromising transparency, the stone displays medium color saturation and an excellent polish that indicates precise lapidary finish and careful facet junction alignment. The sourcing story begins with small scale miners in central Sri Lanka who recovered material from weathered alluvial deposits, the rough was then sorted by experienced buyers who prioritize ethically procured parcels, and selected pieces were sent to master cutters in the region and to our workshop for final calibration and grading, this chain preserves the character of the Ceylon material while ensuring traceability and documentation from mine to market.

The mounting is executed in platinum 950, a superior alloy chosen for its strength and stable white color, the setting uses an architectural multi prong construction that both secures the pavilion and allows unobstructed light access to the crown facets, accent diamonds are white round shapes totaling approximately 0.07 carats with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F, these accent stones are matched and set to complement the sapphire without overpowering its medium saturated blue. From a craftsmanship perspective the piece exhibits tight symmetry, consistent facet polish, and careful girdle thickness control to protect against chipping, the mixed brilliant cut philosophy employed here optimizes return of blue saturation to the viewer while maintaining lively brilliance on movement, the excellent polish is evident in the crisp facet edges and clean windowing through the crown. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the pendant with full provenance documentation and a description of the lapidary process, this piece will appeal to connoisseurs who value measured gemological detail, considered sourcing, and refined platinum setting techniques.
