Natural Sapphire & Diamond Enhancer Pendant | 9ct Yellow Gold

A large oval sapphire, so deeply blue it's almost black, set into an ornate diamond halo in 9ct yellow gold. The stone sits in a gold frame that floats inside a ring of small diamonds, with four larger diamonds bezel-set at the top, bottom and sides. The bail is a hinged enhancer, so it clips on and off. Wear it on a fine chain one day, a strand of pearls the next.

Stone: Oval blue sapphire, 3.81ct, 10 × 8mm
Diamonds: 32 round brilliant, 0.33ct total, J–K colour, SI3 clarity
Metal: 9ct yellow gold 

What's an enhancer? The bail is hinged, so it opens and clips onto a chain or a string of beads or pearls rather than threading on permanently. You can move it between chains, or layer it over a necklace you already own, and take it off just as easily.
