Description

A stunning, fine and impressive vintage 1950's 5.60 carat Ceylon blue sapphire and 2.55 carat diamond, 14 carat yellow gold and platinum set heart cluster pendant; part of our diverse heart shaped jewellery collection.

This stunning and rare vintage sapphire pendant has been crafted in 14ct yellow gold with a platinum setting.

The pierced decorated, cluster design is ornamented with a feature millegrain decorated collet set 5.60ct heart cut Ceylon sapphire.

The sapphire is encompassed with twenty-three pavé set eight cut diamonds, with a further outer border of twenty-two individually four-claw set transitional modern brilliant round cut diamonds.

The cluster setting suspends from an 18' yellow gold chain via a tapering bale, ornamented with two further eight cut diamonds; the chain secures to the reverse with a spring-loaded bolt ring fastening.

This vintage sapphire and diamond pendant has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 14 carat gold and platinum.

This sapphire heart pendant is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card, in addition to a sapphire report card and certificate supplied by the Gemmological Certification Services, London*.

This heart sapphire pendant necklace in gold combines timeless symbolism with classic craftsmanship, making it a thoughtful gift for anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day, weddings, Mother's Day or as a heartfelt token to mark a special milestone. Its enduring design is versatile enough to be worn every day or reserved for cherished occasions, while its fine materials and sentimental appeal give it lasting heirloom value.

NOTE: * This documentation accredits the sapphire originating in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and certifies that the gemstone shows no indications of heating.

Condition

This impressive vintage heart shaped gemstone pendant is excellent quality, set with a stunning Ceylon sapphire displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

Mid-20th-century jewellery design frequently featured prominent coloured gemstones surrounded by elaborate diamond halos, combining classical motifs such as hearts with mixed yellow and white metal settings.

These pieces typically combine precious stones like natural sapphires and brilliant-cut diamonds with precious metal mountings, often employing yellow gold for the main body and white gold or platinum for claw settings.

Authentic mid-century jewellery displays hallmark stamps indicating gold purity, alongside period-appropriate hand-finished claw settings and natural internal inclusions visible under magnification.

A gemstone pendant can be suspended from a fine gold chain to serve as a singular focal point for formal wear, or styled alongside minimal gold chains for modern layered daywear.

Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners on treated gems, and store separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent surface scratching.
