blue topaz necklace - white sapphire pendant - Swiss blue topaz - Argentium silver - December birthstone - statement jewelry - 3418


                            Argentium Silver, Swiss Blue Topaz and White Sapphire Necklace - 3418 - Chain Included( IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ 1. AND 2 BELOW )1.) INCLUDED IN THE PRICE IS AN ARGENTIUM SILVER CHAIN APPROPRIATE FOR THE PENDANT CHOSEN. YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM 16", 18" OR 20" AT CHECKOUT.2.) PLEASE LOOK AT THE MEASUREMENTS CAREFULLY. SOME PHOTOS HAVE BEEN ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL, WHILE OTHERS HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED TO FIT THE FRAME. ACTUAL SIZE CANNOT BE DETERMINED FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS.This pendant contains a 7mm checkerboard cut Swiss Blue Topaz and a 3mm White Sapphire. The dimensions are 1 1/4 x 7/16 inches (37x18mm). Originally, I designed this piece to hold the gemstone in an added head. Then, wanting to set a round stone which was just a bit too large to be set that way, it struck me that it would fit perfectly if the head was taken out of the picture to let a spring structure in the design itself hold the gem. The result is the stone becoming an intimate part of the piece in this tension setting.BLUE TOPAZ: The beautiful blue of this stone is created by enhancing white topaz through the use of heat and irradiation. There are several shades of blue topaz , including Sky, Swiss and London. It is one of December’s birthstones along with Zircon and Tanzanite.WHITE SAPPHIRE: The colorless member of the sapphire family, white sapphires are a natural and affordable alternative to diamonds. More expensive than CZs, but far less expensive than diamonds and nearly as brilliant as both. A lovely, durable gemstone and the birthstone for September.Make a statement with this contemporary design handcrafted by award winning designer, David Worcester.ARGENTIUM SILVER is a special alloy, verified as the most tarnish resistant made, but an occasional simple wipe with a soft cloth, and tucking the piece into the provided, protective pouch will further enhance its natural aversion to tarnish. Eco-friendly recycled silver.
