Solitaire Blue Sapphire Pendant 2.87 Ct., 14K Rose Gold

Few gemstones carry a lineage as storied as the blue sapphire, a stone that has been prized by monarchs, clergy, and lovers for centuries, and this pear shaped sapphire pendant continues that legacy with quiet authority. The sapphire at the heart of this pendant weighs 2.87 carats, measuring 10.55 by 6.98 by 5.47 millimeters, and is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to marry scintillation with depth, clarity, and presence. Its color is described as intensely saturated, and when held to the light it reveals a purity and vibrancy that speak of gemstones quarried in the legendary mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, and finished with an excellent polish, this sapphire displays the balance between natural character and fine gem cutting that collectors and connoisseurs cherish. The stone has been heat treated, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement used to deepen color and refine transparency, and the result is a gem that appears as though it were sculpted from the very blue of a deep evening sky.

The setting honors classic jewelry languages, while introducing a modern interpretation that feels fresh, personal, and wearable. Traditional pear shaped pendants of bygone eras often featured filigree, heavy bezels, or cluster halos, and they carried an air of formality and ritual. This design takes that same pear silhouette and frames it in 14K rose gold, using a refined bezel that both secures and showcases the gem. The bail flows into a graceful ribbon like loop, a nod to the endless knot motifs found in Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, yet executed with a contemporary minimalism that lets the sapphire breathe. From the front it reads as a timeless teardrop, instantly familiar and comforting, and from the side the mixed brilliant cut catches light in facets that recall classical brilliance while the open profile and polished rose gold surfaces give the piece a distinctly up to date brightness. In short, this pendant honors the codes of tradition, and then rewrites them with deliberate restraint.

Rose gold has always been associated with warmth, romance, and enduring style, and when paired with the intense blue of a Ceylon sapphire the contrast is quietly dramatic. The 14K rose gold setting wraps the stone in a tender glow, the warmth of the metal making the blue appear both deeper and more luminous, like candlelight on a midnight sea. This interplay of tone is a classic marriage in fine jewelry, yet the pendant remains versatile, at home with a simple blouse for daytime refinement, and equally powerful as the finishing touch to evening attire. The mixed brilliant cut of the sapphire was chosen to maximize fire and return, translating the gem cutters knowledge into everyday brilliance that moves with the wearer. The very slightly included clarity grade reminds us that this is a natural stone, with the tiny marks of formation that confirm authenticity and character, and the excellent polish ensures that every facet catches and returns light with an almost mirror like clarity. For those seeking a piece that will travel across lifetimes, the 14K gold construction offers the balance between durability and elegance, while the secure bezel and thoughtful setting deliver peace of mind.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand how provenance, craftsmanship, and design converge to create jewelry that becomes an heirloom, and this pendant was conceived with that enduring intent. The sapphire being from Ceylon connects the piece to centuries of gem cutting tradition in Sri Lanka, a place long celebrated for producing blue sapphires with exceptional hue and saturation, and our team has set that stone into rose gold with an eye for proportion and balance. The heat treatment is disclosed openly, and the overall presentation is one of transparency and respect for the gem, as well as for the wearer who will one day pass this jewel onward. Imagine presenting this pendant as a gift that bridges past and present, a piece that reads as both familiar and singular, an object that will patinate and settle into family stories. When you hold this pendant you will feel the lineage of classical design, the precision of modern gem cutting, and the warmth of rose gold craftsmanship all at once. We welcome you to discuss custom chain lengths, personal engraving options, or further details about the sapphire, and we stand behind the piece with our commitment to quality, responsible sourcing, and the kind of attentive service that transforms beautiful jewelry into a meaningful legacy.
