0.69 Ct. Blue Sapphire Solitaire Necklace, 14K White Gold

This exquisite 18 inch necklace from The Natural Sapphire Company centers on a transparent 0.69 carat oval blue sapphire, measuring 6.50 x 4.50 x 2.60 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire and scintillation. The stone displays intense color intensity and an excellent polish, with a clarity described as very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and it is completely unenhanced, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The sapphire sits low in a protective bezel setting crafted in 14K white gold, a presentation that keeps the gem close to the neckline and showcases the saturated cornflower to royal blue hues that make Ceylon sapphires so prized. The simple, elegant silhouette of the piece allows the stone to be the focal point, while the lustrous white gold provides a refined backdrop that complements both casual and formal wardrobes.

Beyond beauty, this necklace is engineered for everyday wear, starting with the durability of 14K white gold. Compared to higher purity gold alloys that are softer, 14K offers a balanced mix of strength and resilience, and it resists bending and wear far better than thinner, fashion chains plated over base metals. The bezel setting further enhances longevity by protecting the pavilion and girdle from knocks and by eliminating the exposure and snag risk associated with prong settings. Where delicate trace and snake chains can kink or break under repeated stress, the solid, well formed links chosen for this piece provide consistent tensile strength and abrasion resistance, and the two point attachment into the bezel minimizes torque on the stone during movement. Routine care is simple, it is best to avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to chlorinated water, and periodic inspections will ensure the bezel and links remain secure. For those seeking a reliable everyday sapphire necklace that combines natural, untreated color, meticulous craftsmanship, and a chain built to last, this 14K white gold 18 inch pendant from The Natural Sapphire Company is an ideal choice.
