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

This pendant from The Natural Sapphire Company celebrates the beauty of a single, exceptional Ceylon sapphire, embraced by a meticulous halo of diamonds, each stone set by hand in rich 18K white gold. At its heart sits a transparent, round 0.45 carat blue sapphire with exact dimensions of 4.50 x 4.50 x 2.80 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and depth. Evaluated at eye level as eye clean, this sapphire displays an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, with a traditional and stable enhancement of heat treatment that brings out its vivid royal blue tones. The gem is carefully secured by a precisely formed white gold setting that elevates the sapphire while allowing light to enter from every angle, creating the lively brilliance characteristic of fine Ceylon sapphires. The overall profile is balanced and elegant, designed to showcase the sapphire as the focal point, while the quality of the metalwork ensures lasting beauty and wearability.

Surrounding the center stone, eighteen round brilliant cut natural white diamonds totaling 0.25 carats are individually hand set, their combined presence adding measured sparkle without overpowering the central blue. Each diamond is graded Very Slightly Included with an F color, chosen for consistent brightness and near colorlessness, and set with precision so that every faceted surface contributes to a continuous scintillating halo. Our master setters use fine prongs and careful positioning to ensure symmetry and secure placement, aligning each diamond to reflect light into the sapphire and amplify the pendant's overall radiance. The finesse of the craftsmanship is evident in the uniform spacing, the smooth finishing of the gallery, and the subtle polish on the bale and surrounding profile. Finished in 18K white gold, the pendant offers a luminous backdrop that complements the cool tones of the sapphire and diamonds, and it is designed to pair beautifully with a delicate chain for daily elegance or special occasions. This piece exemplifies The Natural Sapphire Company's commitment to thoughtful sourcing, exacting standards, and the artisan skill required to set every gemstone with care and intention.
