Antique Style Blue Sapphire Pendant 3.03 Ct., 14K White Gold

This pendant centers a precisely faceted 3.03 carat radiant shape blue sapphire, C.Dunaigre certified Blue, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, with dimensions 8.15 by 7.37 by 5.38 millimeters. The radiant cut combines trimmed corners with a mixed facet architecture, incorporating both step facets along the pavilion and brilliant style facets on the crown, which optimizes contrast and scintillation while maintaining a substantial color face up. The stone presents intense color saturation and an eye clean clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, which, together with an excellent polish, yields strong light return and a vivid blue presence without visible windowing or extinction. The proportions are calibrated to balance face up size with depth for maximum optical performance in a pendant mount, preserving the sapphires natural brilliance in both diffuse and point light conditions.

Set entirely in platinum 950, the mounting is engineered to articulate modern minimalism with enduring refinement. A halo of white round brilliant diamonds surrounds the sapphire, complemented by additional accent round diamonds on the upper mount, with cumulative weights of approximately 0.25 carat for the primary rounds and approximately 0.075 carat for the smaller accents, all graded VS clarity and F and G color. These rounds are chosen and matched for consistent facet alignment and fire, serving to enhance the sapphires chroma by contrast and to increase perceived light return from the crown. The pendant employs a secure cradle setting that exposes the pavilion through a precision milled open gallery to maximize transmission of light into the sapphire, while the platinum 950 provides long term durability and a cool white backdrop that preserves color fidelity. Every junction is finished to a high polish, and the pavillage is executed to tight tolerances to ensure even bead height and symmetry. This piece exemplifies The Natural Sapphire Companys approach to combining gemological rigor with artisanal execution, producing a pendant that reads as contemporary in its clean lines, and timeless in its use of classic mixed cut gemology and platinum craftsmanship. For collectors who prioritize cut, clarity, and material integrity, this pendant delivers technical excellence with refined aesthetics.
