Its rose gold setting, delicately worked with three claws, gives the pendant a captivating triangular shape, born of an optical illusion.

For the Little Story

Sapphire is a variety of corundum composed mainly of aluminium oxide. The colour blue is the one we immediately think of when we think of sapphire, but in reality this stone exists in a wide variety of shades such as green, yellow, orange and even pink. This gemstone is distinguished by its remarkable hardness, rated at 9 on the Mohs scale, just behind diamond, making it scratch-resistant and ideal for everyday jewellery. Blue sapphires come from different regions of the world, each with its own unique colour nuances and characteristics. Historically, blue sapphire has symbolised loyalty, nobility and wisdom, and was considered a protective talisman in many ancient cultures. Today, it is widely used in jewellery, particularly in engagement rings, necklaces and earrings, to bring a touch of timeless elegance and symbolic meaning to jewellery. Blue sapphire continues to fascinate and inspire gem lovers for its beauty and deep-rooted cultural heritage...

Jewellers' words

In order to create the illusion of the pendant's triangular shape despite the round sapphire, we have strategically placed two claws three-quarters of the way around the gem, while the third is positioned at noon. A thin clasp is carefully placed above this third claw, ensuring that the pendant is balanced. Visually striking, this necklace also features an elegant contrast between its 18k rose gold chain, and the blue of the gemstone it supports.
