0.55 Ct. Blue Sapphire and Natural Diamond Pave Pendant, 18K White Gold

This heart shaped pendant from The Natural Sapphire Company centers on a beautiful 0.55 carat Ceylon blue sapphire, measuring 5.00 x 5.00 x 2.85 millimeters, mixed brilliant cut. The sapphire is eye clean when viewed at eye level, shows intense color intensity, and has an excellent polish, with no enhancement, which preserves its natural beauty and stability. Surrounding the heart are 21 natural round brilliant cut diamonds totaling 0.11 carats, each graded F color and Very Slightly Included clarity, which together form a bright halo that lifts the sapphire and intensifies the blue through contrast. The stones are all set in 18K white gold, with a secure setting and a thoughtfully low profile bail, allowing the pendant to sit gracefully on the neckline while the gallery provides structural support and discreet light return. The overall craftsmanship balances refined detail with robustness, resulting in a piece that reads as both delicate and enduring.

Compared to similar styles, this pendant stands out for its combination of gem quality and practical design, which makes it especially suited for everyday wear. Sapphires score a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamonds, which gives this heart shaped gem superior resistance to scratches compared with more fragile gems such as opal or tanzanite, and the fact that this sapphire is untreated means its color will remain stable with normal care. The diamond halo not only adds scintillation, but it also offers a protective visual buffer around the sapphire, reducing the chance of direct impact on the stone edge compared with exposed solitaire settings. The choice of 18K white gold provides a durable mounting that resists deformation better than softer alloys, while the secure prong placement and solid gallery reduce snagging on clothing versus very open or filigreed designs. For someone seeking a versatile everyday piece that transitions from casual daytime looks to evening wear, this pendant combines the trusted durability of Ceylon sapphire, the reflective brilliance of near colorless diamonds, and the reliable construction expected from The Natural Sapphire Company, making it an ideal daily heirloom style.
