Pendant with Yellow Sapphire, Green Gold Quartz and Cubic Zirconia

This 34 x 17 mm pendant is crafted from rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver and features oval-cut faceted stones: 4 x 3 mm yellow sapphires and 10 x 8 mm green gold quartz. The delicate design of this pendant centers on a green gold quartz, prong-set and surrounded by sapphires in the same setting, which are in turn surrounded by cubic zirconia. The bail features a yellow sapphire surrounded by lobes filled with cubic zirconia, from which the main structure hangs gracefully.

Sapphire:

The elements that give it color are iron and titanium in blue sapphire, and vanadium in violet. Iron determines the yellow and green tones, chromium the pink color, and inclusions of rutile needles produce a silky luster. In ancient European and Indian cultures, it was considered the stone of Saturn, representing the sky, the world of angels, magic, loyalty, and friendship. In antiquity, and to some extent even into the Middle Ages, the term sapphire was generally understood to refer to what is now known as lapis lazuli.

Origin: Sri Lanka.

Properties: It provides uprightness, instills wisdom, and enhances judgment and the structuring of thoughts. Known as the stone of wisdom.

Zodiac sign: Pisces

Green Gold Quartz:

Green Gold quartz is a beautiful, bright green/yellowish color, but while the stone is natural, the color is not. It is the result of a specific treatment process, in which the crystals are heated and change color, turning into this incredible golden hue.
