0.90 Ct. White Sapphire Solitaire Pendant, 14K White Gold

This pendant is designed to celebrate the innate fire and scintillation of a white sapphire by using a restrained 14K white gold setting that maximizes light return while keeping the metal elegantly understated. The sapphire is elevated in a minimal 3 claw basket that cradles the stone at the girdle, raising it slightly above the chain so light enters freely from the top and beneath. The open gallery under the cup is cut to allow direct light to the pavilion facets, and the slim claws are polished to a mirror finish to reflect light back into the stone rather than obscure it. This careful balance of secure claw placement and generous aperture means each mixed brilliant facet gets an opportunity to flash, producing lively sparkle against the cool glow of the white gold. The petite bail sits flush to the head of the basket, allowing the pendant to move naturally on the chain so every turn catches fresh brilliance.

The centerpiece is a transparent 0.90 carat round white sapphire, dimensions 6.00 x 6.00 x 3.40 mm, mixed brilliant cut, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, colorless color intensity, and an excellent polish. Heat treated to enhance color and clarity, and sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire benefits from the cut and finish that bring out its innate brightness. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes the optic return, and because the setting minimizes metal coverage across the table and crown, the full effect of those facets is visible to the eye. The 14K white gold basket is finely finished and proportioned to the stone, reinforcing the sapphire while keeping the silhouette delicate and contemporary. When viewed from the side, the openwork gallery and neat claw tips reveal the stone profile and add a hint of architectural detail, without interfering with the gem lightplay. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we pay close attention to the interaction between gem and setting so the result is an elegant, everyday pendant that reads as both secure and spectacular. If you appreciate a high quality white sapphire presented with minimal, considered metalwork to amplify its brilliance, this pendant offers a luminous choice that balances technical gem setting with refined style.
