Madagascan 3.20ct Sapphire and Diamond Drop Pendant in 18 Yellow Gold

A vibrant cushion cut Madagascan blue sapphire commands attention as the focal point of this chic drop style pendant. The fine blue sapphire (3.20cts) captivates the eye securely claw set into richly polished 18ct yellow gold. A small sparkling brilliant cut diamond has been set atop; connected by a hand polished small jump ring to ensure that the sapphire will mover elegantly with the wearer. The island country of Madagascar is surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, and is home to a striking array of flora and fauna. Large sapphire deposits were discovered on the island in the 1990s, and have since become renowned for their exceptional quality, vibrancy, and size. The example featured here reminds us of the ocean viewed on a beautiful summer’s day, and is the result of trace elements of iron and titanium. This gemstone is accompanied by certification from the AGL (American Gemological Laboratories) to confirm that it has not been subjected to any heat treatment to enhance its colour. A practical 44cm fine chain completes the design ensuring this piece can be worn from day to night.
