AC Silver has dated this Edwardian Sapphire Diamond Pendant to the 1910s.
This stunning, fine and impressive antique pendant has been crafted in platinum.
The drop style pendant displays a feature 1.40ct pear cut blue Basaltic sapphire, claw set to the nadir of the design, encompassed with sixteen pavé set diamonds within a scalloped border.
The pear-shaped terminal of this antique pendant suspends from an articulated linear drop, ornamented with collet and pavé set diamonds, in a combination of Old European, mine and eight cuts.
The apex of the linear drop features an impressive 0.17ct square faceted cut sapphire, above a stylised three leaf design ornamented with six pavé set diamonds.
The necklace setting emanates further to either side of the apex sapphire, reflecting the same design as the linear drop and conjoining with the platinum chain, securing to the reverse with a conventional spring-loaded bolt ring fastening.
This stunning antique pear-shaped sapphire pendant has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as platinum.
This sapphire and diamond pendant is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card, in addition to a feature sapphire report card and certificate supplied by the Gemmological Certification Services, London*.
This platinum sapphire necklace/pendant is fitted to the original hinged leatherette presentation box, with a bespoke velvet and satin lined interior, securing with a push fit catch.
The interior of the cover bears the renowned retailer's mark 'By appointment to H. M. The Queen - Goldsmiths & Crown Jewellers, Garrard & Co Ltd, 112. Regent Street. W. 1'.
A blue sapphire and diamond pendant necklace in platinum is a distinguished and elegant choice, making it an exceptional gift for anniversaries - particularly the 5th or 45th (sapphire) anniversaries - or for those born in September, with sapphire as their birthstone. Collectors will appreciate its refined craftsmanship, while it also stands as a striking personal acquisition.
