Modern Estate Sapphire & Diamond Hinged Pendant

This elegant pendant originates from the estate of a local gem collector who had a passion for fine sapphires. At its center is a deep, medium-dark blue sapphire that is free from the green or violet undertones often found in other sapphires. The gem is prong-set and elegantly hangs within an oval frame of textured white gold, which is suspended from a diamond-set bail.

Although the sapphire isn't large, its intense color and excellent cut allow it to shine brilliantly, making the vibrant blue stand out beautifully against the modern design. The framed mounting enhances the presence of the gem on the neckline, and the connection point between the bail, sapphire, and frame is hinged, allowing the piece to move freely and catch the light.

This stunning pendant is perfect for everyday wear and makes an ideal gift for anyone with a September birthday or for those who love the color blue!

Details: 14k white gold pendant featuring a 0.65ct oval blue sapphire (heat-treated, unknown origin) and 0.07ctw diamond accents (SI GH), circa 2000.
