Pave Purple Sapphire Pendant 7.08 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This pendant is crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold, centered around a certified purple sapphire weighing 7.08 carats, oval shape, with dimensions 13.37 by 9.89 by 6.26 millimeters. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style, with a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown and a modified pavilion that optimizes face up brilliance while maintaining strong color saturation. The proportioned length to width ratio of approximately 1.35, and a pavilion depth yielding an overall depth of approximately 53.8 percent, produce a balanced spread and lively scintillation across the table. Clarity is graded eye clean at normal viewing distances, and the polish is excellent, resulting in crisp facet junctions and precise light return. The sapphire is heat treated, a stable and industry standard enhancement, and its origin is Madagascar, which contributes to the stone’s intense and uniform purple saturation. The center gem is secured in a refined prong setting that allows ample light ingress from the pavilion and gallery, enhancing perceived color and brilliance without compromising the security of the mount.

Surrounding the center sapphire, a ribbon style halo twists into an integrated bail, combining classic halo geometry with an open crossover motif that reads well both as a single statement piece and as part of a layered collection. The halo and ribbon are pavé set with natural white round diamonds, totaling approximately 0.468 carats, clarity VS, color F and G, each diamond selected for tight matching in size and tone to preserve even sparkle and contrast against the yellow gold. Precision micro prong work and careful bezel profiling ensure each melee is seated for maximum light interaction and long term durability. The 18K yellow gold polishing and internal gallery finishing demonstrate hand finishing techniques intended to reduce metal visibility and emphasize the gemstones. The overall silhouette is compact and well proportioned, making the pendant versatile for layering with fine chains or wearing alone on a more substantial chain for evening wear. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this pendant combines gemological integrity with considered design and craftsmanship, offering a piece that performs technically as well as it reads stylistically in a variety of jewelry combinations.
