0.52 Ct. Blue Sapphire and Natural Diamond Pave Pendant, 14K White Gold

This pendant centers on a pear shaped sapphire set within a double halo, entirely fabricated in 14K white gold, the design emphasizing optical depth and precision light return. The pear shaped center stone is cut with a modified brilliant faceting scheme, where a slightly elongated table and carefully proportioned pavilion facets concentrate internal reflection and create a vivid eye clean window into the stone. Surrounding the center, there is an inner halo of well matched round brilliant diamonds and an outer halo of calibré round blue sapphires, each stone seated with tight tolerance and minimal bezel intrusion to preserve maximum crown exposure. The craftsmanship shows crisp prong work and a low profile gallery, the pavé set diamonds on the bail calibrated to the pendant scale, the overall symmetry and facet alignment optimized to avoid color leakage and to yield stable, balanced scintillation both near and far from the viewer. On a technical level the pendant is engineered to marry contrast and cohesion, the white gold axis providing a neutral reflective field that amplifies the blue saturation of the sapphires while allowing the diamonds to function as high contrast points of white light, producing perceived higher chroma and cleaner color saturation in the sapphires than an equivalent isolated stone would display.

When compared to other sapphires in this segment, these stones stand out for a combination of clean clarity, consistent tone, and tight hue saturation. Many commercial sapphires display prominent silk inclusions or a chalky diffused color when cut for yield, reducing clarity and muting saturation, whereas the sapphires in this pendant exhibit very low visible inclusion density and a more transparent crystal lattice, permitting deeper color transmission and crisp facet junctions. The center pear reveals a medium deep to deep tone with strong pure blue saturation and minimal secondary zoning, characteristics that drive a lively velvet like appearance under varied lighting, in contrast to typical stones that can appear brownish or washed out under incandescent or daylight. The surrounding melee sapphires are matched for hue and tone control to prevent halo color drift, while the diamond melee are selected for consistent white appearance and tight size grading to maintain even sparkle and avoid distracting scintillation variance. For a buyer who prioritizes color fidelity, clarity, and precision cut geometry, this pendant presents a technically superior execution that reads as richer and more luminous on the finger and on the neckline than many comparable halo pieces.
