Antique Style Blue Sapphire Pendant 3.17 Ct., Platinum 950

This pendant is engineered with exacting attention to proportion and light performance, set entirely in platinum 950 for optimal durability and a cool white mounting that complements the blue of the center stone. The star of the piece is a C.Dunaigre certified Ceylon blue sapphire, 3.17 carats, round shape, dimensions 8.93 x 8.74 x 5.06 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant configuration, which combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with controlled step or modified facets on the pavilion to deepen color saturation while maintaining strong scintillation. The stone displays intense color saturation, an excellent polish, clarity grade very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and it has received no enhancement. The sapphire depth at 5.06 mm is calibrated to retain vivid Ceylon color while allowing return of light through the mixed faceting scheme, producing a lively yet richly saturated blue that reads consistently from multiple viewing angles. Surrounding the sapphire is a halo of white round natural diamonds, hand set into platinum, with a primary cluster weighing approximately 0.284 carats, clarity VS, color F G, plus an additional accent total of approximately 0.06 carats, also clarity VS, color F G, together providing balanced brilliance and contrast without overpowering the main gem.

Craftsmanship techniques on display include precision micro pavé and close tolerance bezel and gallery work, with each diamond seated to optimize light ingress and minimize metal visibility, and with all surfaces finished to an excellent polish to enhance reflectivity. The setting incorporates an openwork gallery to allow backlighting of the sapphire, improving fire and depth, while the platinum 950 construction ensures long term structural integrity and hypoallergenic wear. The Natural Sapphire Company has paired gemological transparency with meticulous hand finishing to produce a pendant that is both technically sophisticated and emotionally resonant. Gifting this pendant marks more than an exchange of jewelry, it is a deliberate articulation of commitment and appreciation, a piece designed to be worn daily and passed down as a tangible memory. The combination of certified origin, no enhancement, and fine platinum craftsmanship makes it a meaningful token for milestone anniversaries, birthdays, or moments when provenance and permanence matter, converting the clinical precision of cut and clarity into a personal emblem of affection and enduring value.
