14kt Yellow Gold Sapphire Pendant

This 14-karat yellow gold pendant is built around a 0.9-carat blue sapphire.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. The center stone comes from Sri Lanka, with its treatment disclosed plainly as on every listing.

Gold around a natural colored stone, the kind of piece given to mark something and worn long after the day it marked. Hand-finished and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
