3. Luxurious Sapphire Necklaces

 

Sapphires exude luxury, regardless of their color or cut.  They are the ultimate statement gemstone, especially when handcrafted into dramatic necklaces, such as those selected for the Top 5 Luxury Jewelry gifts.

The first necklace includes almost 900 carats of stunning Grade AAA natural blue Sapphires layered in 5 long strands of graduated sizes from 4mm up to 9mm.  Although it is made using the traditional blue associated with sapphires, it is anything but traditional.

Each of the 5 strands of sapphires delicately intermingle and are suspended from decorative filigree antiqued silver connectors, and measures 24″-28″ long.

This is a definite show stopper, and sure to be an heirloom piece that she will enjoy for decades.  The color is a gorgeous deep blue and the sapphire is faceted, undyed, and amazing Grade AAA quality.

The second necklace features natural pink sapphire, a much more rare color, yet no less eye catching.   The gorgeous natural faceted Pink Sapphire is wrapped into a hand-formed organic leaf and vine design.

The 2.25″ pendant was formed by hand using sterling silver wire, hammered for texture and strength, and then hand-wrapped with fine silver wire for added texture and to incorporate the beautiful pink sapphire teardrop beads and petite rondelle beads.  The pendant is a true work of art and took over 16 hours to create.

This necklace makes a statement while remaining delicate and lightweight.  The color is a gorgeous soft pink with hints of honey.  Both the color and cut of these pink sapphires is rare.

Rare gems, artisan design, completely one of a kind creation, pure luxury!

Packaging: The unique sapphire necklaces come packaged in a sage AmberTortoise gift box- perfect for gifting.
