For the Little Story

Sapphire is a variety of corundum composed mainly of aluminum oxide. The color blue is the one we immediately think of when we think of sapphire, but in reality this stone exists in a number 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 jewelry. Blue sapphires come from different regions of the world, each bringing its own nuances of color and unique characteristics. Historically, blue sapphire has symbolized loyalty, nobility and wisdom, and was considered a protective talisman in many ancient cultures. Today, it is widely used in jewelry, particularly in engagement rings, necklaces and earrings, to bring a touch of timeless elegance and symbolic meaning to jewelry. Blue sapphire continues to fascinate and inspire gem lovers for its beauty and deep-rooted cultural heritage...

Jewellers' words

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 fine bélière is carefully placed above this third claw, ensuring balanced wear of the pendant. Visually arresting, this necklace also features an elegant contrast between its 18k yellow gold chain, and the blue of the gemstone it supports.
