A Superb Pair of Sapphire and Diamond Earrings Cushion-shaped Sapphires of 7.90, 6.86, 3.07 and 2.28 Carats, Pear and Ro

Graduation gives cushion sapphire and diamond earrings their quiet sophistication, with four cushion sapphires of 7.90, 6.86, 3.07 and 2.28 carats descending in scale alongside pear and round diamonds. The graduated weights are a designer's deliberate decision, leading the eye in a measured fall of blue from the larger stones to the smaller, while the pear and round diamonds lace white fire between the sapphires. The cushion cut gives each sapphire a soft-cornered depth that holds its colour like still water, drawing the gaze down into the blue rather than letting it skate across the surface. Fine blue sapphire has served as a store of value for centuries, valued for a hardness second only to diamond and for a colour that simply never tires the eye, and a graduated suite of four such stones is no small assembly. Set in gold, this is significant material across all four principal stones. As earrings of this composition, they frame the face with a cascade of colour and light, made for occasions of genuine consequence where the wearer wishes the jewel to carry the look. The graduation also lends the design a sense of movement even at rest, the eye travelling naturally down the descending scale of blue from the bold uppermost sapphire to the delicate lowest. To assemble four cushion sapphires that graduate so cleanly in size while holding true in colour is itself an achievement, the kind of matching that distinguishes a serious jeweller's work from the ordinary. This is a jewel for the collector who appreciates the discipline of a graduated design over a simple matched pair, who values the thought behind the composition as much as the stones within it. Within our high-jewellery earrings, this pair bears the Legacy mark as its maker, intended for that collector. Each sapphire and diamond is assessed for colour, cut and life before setting, the four sapphires chosen so the blue holds true as it descends. Independent certification is available on request, so the natural identity and the weights of the principal sapphires may be confirmed by a laboratory of your choosing. Should a graduated pair of this depth appeal, we welcome you into the Negotiation Room for a discreet and unhurried discussion of terms, with a viewing arranged to your convenience. Sapphires of this calibre reward being seen in person, where the cascade of blue truly tells, and we are content to wait while the colour makes its own case.
