Pear-Shaped Sapphire and Diamond Pendant in 14K White Gold

This pendant from Gabriel & Co. takes a pear-shaped silhouette, crafted in 14K white gold. The design pairs 0.21 carats of sapphire with 0.08 carats total weight of round natural diamonds, so the cool blue of the sapphire reads clearly against the bright white metal.

Round brilliant diamonds are a practical choice for a piece of this scale. Their faceting returns light from many angles, which keeps a small carat weight visible at the neckline rather than disappearing against skin or fabric. The pear outline gives the pendant a defined point and a soft curve, a shape that sits well on its own and layers easily with a plain chain or a second pendant.

White gold suits both the sapphire and the diamonds here, with no warm cast to shift the stone colour. At 0.29 carats of total gemstone weight, the pendant is light enough for everyday wear and simple enough to pair with most wardrobes, though the sapphire adds enough colour to carry an evening look.
