This stunning Sapphire necklace is inspired by the colors found in a Renaissance portrait. The earthy but deeply rich rondelles are stitched together, link by link, on recycled 18k gold wire. The heavy and intense color palette give this chain visual weight. The pendant, which typically is the star of the show, graciously shares center stage while holding its own. The brooding blue-grey Sapphire briolette has subtle but clearly visible internal flaws that capture and reflect the light with drama that matches the chain. This work of art will demand to be the center of any ensemble.
