Bezel Green Sapphire Pendant 1.32 Ct., 18K White Gold

This pendant is precisely engineered in platinum 950, an alloy chosen for its strength, density, and neutral white tone. At the center is a transparent, round shape green sapphire weighing 1.32 carats, with exact dimensions of 6.44 x 6.44 x 4.20 mm. The sapphire is cut in a mixed brilliant style, a combination that balances crown faceting with a brilliant style pavilion to enhance life and scintillation in a compact form. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and these internal characteristics are minute enough to preserve the gem clarity and transmission of light. Color saturation reads as medium light, a balance that yields an elegant, subdued green rather than an intense or overly vivid hue, and the polish is graded excellent, reflecting careful lapidary work. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, and the gem is of Montana origin, a source known for producing sapphires with unique, nuanced tones and naturally appealing transparency.

The setting process for this pendant reflects meticulous bench work and exacting standards of gem fitting. The sapphire is secured in a bespoke bezel, a technique that requires a perfectly formed seat in the platinum 950 mounting to match the gem girdle profile and to maintain ideal light interaction. Each step is performed with a combination of precision tools and hand finishing, beginning with a custom milled collet to hold the stone while the seat is cut to micron tolerances. The stone is then placed and checked for alignment of the table and pavilion to ensure that the mixed brilliant facet pattern faces true to the eye. The bezel wall is gradually burnished and rolled over the girdle in incremental passes, eliminating any micro gaps and creating a continuous, flush junction between metal and gem. Throughout this process the setting is examined under high magnification to confirm that the bezel does not impinge upon the facet edges, and an ultrasonic clean follows bench work to remove any residual abrasives. Final polishing of the platinum 950 is performed with soft rouge to achieve a mirror finish without altering the bezel geometry, allowing the sapphire to sit with secure integration and with uninterrupted light entry from the crown.

The resulting pendant presents a restrained and refined profile, the platinum 950 offering a cool, durable frame that complements the medium light green of the Montana sapphire. The mixed brilliant cut delivers balanced return and scintillation, visible through the open face, while the bezel offers protection and a contemporary silhouette suitable for daily wear. We fabricate and inspect each pendant against internal quality criteria, confirming the carat weight, dimensions, clarity description, polish grade, absence of enhancements, and origin documentation prior to release. The Natural Sapphire Company applies consistent standards of craftsmanship and gemological accuracy to every piece, and this pendant exemplifies that approach through its precise setting, secure construction, and faithful presentation of the natural sapphire. For those seeking an object that combines considered gem selection with meticulous metal work, this platinum 950 pendant provides both technical integrity and understated aesthetic presence.
