Pear Shaped 4.03ct South African Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Pendant in 18ct Yellow and White Gold

A classic pear-shaped Kimberley fancy intense yellow diamond pendant in 18ct yellow and white gold. Designed to make a striking statement from day to night, an impressive 4.03ct pear-shaped diamond commands attention at the centre, secured by elegant claws. A 1.04ct brilliant cut diamond is set above the principal stone in 18ct white gold, while a delicate 40cm fine trace link chain completes the design. As a sixth-generation family jeweller, Pragnell has expertise in sourcing some of the rarest and most sought-after gemstones in the world. Natural-coloured diamonds have been treasured by connoisseurs and collectors for centuries, their exceptional rarity and ethereal adamantine lustre making them particularly captivating. Only around one in every 10,000 diamonds mined possesses a natural fancy colour, with yellow among the most sought-after hues. The exceptional diamond at the centre of this pendant originates from the famed mining region of South Africa and is accompanied by certification from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), confirming its natural Fancy Intense Yellow colour. All fancy-coloured diamonds at Pragnell are completely natural, with no colour enhancement. The elegant pear shape is renowned for its graceful silhouette, combining the brilliance of a round cut with an elongated, tapered form. Its enduring association with glamour was reinforced in the late 1960s by Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. The celebrated 68ct Taylor-Burton diamond captivated the world as a symbol of glamour and romance. Worn regularly by Elizabeth Taylor for the following decade, it was sold in 1979, yet remains one of the most famous diamonds associated with the actress.
