Accent Stones Purple Sapphire Pendant 1.13 Ct., 14K White Gold

This pendant centers on a transparent 1.13 carat Ceylon sapphire cut in a classical emerald form, measuring 7.45 x 4.58 x 3.25 millimeters, and demonstrating the hallmarks of expert lapidary work. The step facet arrangement produces broad, even planes across the crown and pavilion, creating a deep, jewel like transparency that emphasizes the intense purple saturation. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the excellent polish allows facet junctions to read cleanly under magnification, ensuring crisp hall of mirrors reflections typical of a masterfully executed emerald cut. The no enhancement origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka is significant to connoisseurs, as it preserves the natural zoning and silk characteristics that give the stone its complex body color. Faceting symmetry and proportional table depth were specified to maximize both light return and the characteristic step cut glow, maintaining a balanced outline and strong corner integrity to minimize light leakage from the pavilion angles.

The mounting is executed in platinum 950 to provide both structural security and a neutral white metal canvas that does not alter the sapphire hue. The emerald shaped sapphire is cradled in four precision formed corner prongs, each milled and hand finished to follow the stone corner geometry, allowing the pavilion to sit at a controlled elevation above an open gallery. This approach affords optimal light ingress and facilitates cleaning, while the prong heads are burnished to remove tool marks and to create a seamless transition between stone and metal. Accenting the bail are white round lab grown diamonds of approximately 0.01 carats each, clarity Very Slightly Included graded VS1 and VS2, and color grade F, set with microscopic consistency to maintain uniform light dispersion and to complement the sapphire without overpowering it. Every junction from the prong shoulders to the bale loop is inspected for symmetry and tensile integrity, and final polishing employs sequential abrasives to achieve a mirror finish on exterior facets while preserving crisp internal metal joins. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this pendant as a study in precision, where lapidary choices and hand setting techniques converge to showcase the sapphire with clarity, color, and enduring craftsmanship.
