Large Natural Sapphire Pendant in Sterling Silver

A big natural sapphire pendant for anyone who loves deep blue gemstones, substantial jewellery and pieces with real character.

This Large Natural Sapphire Pendant is all about the stone. A generously sized 32 x 25 mm teardrop sapphire sits in sterling silver, bringing beautiful, rich blue colour to the neckline.

These are natural, untreated sapphires. They are opaque rather than transparent and have visible inclusions, colour variations and natural characteristics. We don't try to disguise those differences. They're part of what makes each sapphire individual.

And at 35 x 25 mm, this isn't a little hint of sapphire. It's a proper Desiderate gemstone pendant, made for those of us who believe a beautiful stone deserves to be seen.

Each pendant comes with a complimentary sterling silver chain, so it's ready to wear as soon as it arrives.

A Sapphire With Natural Character

These sapphires aren't glassy, transparent or perfectly uniform.

They're natural opaque sapphires, and when you look closely you'll see inclusions, markings, texture and variations in their beautiful blue colour.

That's nature doing its thing.

Because each sapphire has formed differently, the pendant you receive may vary slightly in colour, shape, markings and appearance from the one photographed. Some may be deeper blue, some may show lighter areas, and each will have its own natural characteristics.

If you're someone who loves gemstones because they look like they came from the earth rather than a production line, this is a beauty.

Big, Blue and Beautiful

At approximately 32 x 25 mm, this is a genuinely large sapphire pendant.

The teardrop shape gives that glorious expanse of blue a softer feel, while the sterling silver setting lets the gemstone remain the focus.

Wear it with a white shirt. Let it bring colour to black. Throw it on with denim. Or wear it with the dress you've been saving for somewhere special.

It's bold enough to change the feeling of what you're wearing, but relaxed enough to become one of those pieces you reach for far more often than you expected.

Sapphire Meaning

Sapphire has been treasured for centuries and is traditionally associated with wisdom, clarity, intuition, loyalty and protection.

It's also the traditional birthstone for September, making this pendant a particularly thoughtful September birthday gift.

Of course, you don't need to be born in September to have a thing for sapphire.

Maybe blue makes you feel calm. Perhaps sapphire reminds you of someone or somewhere. Or perhaps you saw this enormous blue gemstone and simply thought, that's mine.

Gemstone meaning is personal. Wear yours for whatever it means to you.

A Beautiful September Birthstone Gift

If you're looking for a September birthstone necklace or sapphire gift, this is something a little different from a tiny, delicate birthstone piece.

The generous natural gemstone gives it presence and personality, while the variations within each sapphire mean no two pieces are precisely alike.

It's a beautiful gift for a September birthday, milestone birthday, anniversary or someone who has always loved blue gemstones.

And yes, buying your own birthstone jewellery absolutely counts as celebrating yourself.
