Modern Estate Sapphire & Diamond Hinged Pendant

This elegant pendant was sourced from the estate of a local gem collector who coveted fine Sapphires. The center gem in this pendant is a deep medium dark blue with none of the green or violet undertones that many Sapphires can have. The Sapphire is prong set and dangling into an oval frame of textured white gold and suspended from a Diamond set bail. While the Sapphire is not very large, it makes up for it’s size with intense color and great cutting, such that the blue sparkle jumps out from the modern design. In addition, the framed mounting gives the gem added presence on the neckline. The point where the bail, the Sapphire, and the frame meet are hinged, such that the piece has great movement and is able to catch the light. This is a beautiful piece that could be an everyday wear item, perfect for a September birthstone gift, or lover of all things blue.

Details: 14k white gold pendant with .65ct oval blue Sapphire (heat treated, unknown origin) and .07ctw Diamond accents (SI GH), circa 2000.
