Pair of Sapphire and Diamond Pendent Earrings| Each Set with an Oval Sapphire Within a Surround of Brilliant-cut Diamond

Movement and warmth define these gold sapphire drop earrings, where colour gives way to a graceful cascade. Each opens with an oval sapphire framed by a brilliant-cut diamond surround, from which fall three gold strands set with brilliant and baguette diamonds, dropping to a length of around fifty millimetres so that light and gold sway with every turn of the head. It is a design that lives in motion, never quite still on the ear. The oval sapphire and its diamond surround form a luminous focal point at the top, anchoring the colour and giving the eye a place to begin, while the three trailing strands carry brilliant and baguette diamonds down in a fluid line that catches light along its length. The use of gold for the strands lends warmth and a soft glow that frames the cool blue of the sapphire beautifully, a balance of warm and cool that flatters from any angle, and the generous fifty-millimetre drop gives the earrings real elegance and reach. These are earrings made for the evening, lovely against an updo or a bare shoulder, where their length and movement can be fully appreciated and where the gold strands shimmer with every gesture. Yet the warmth of the gold keeps them from feeling austere, and the sapphire gives them a grounding note of colour that carries them beyond pure sparkle into something richer. Long drops of this kind have an enduring glamour, the sort of jewel a woman is remembered wearing and that becomes a treasured part of a family's collection, passed forward with the memory of the occasions it graced. The way three strands move independently gives the earrings a liveliness that a solid drop could never match. It is glamour with motion built in. Signed Legacy, this pair is accompanied by independent certification available on request, so that the sapphire and diamonds are documented to an exacting standard rather than left to description alone. Our advisers are happy to discuss the stones, the gold strands and the drop length at whatever depth you prefer, entirely without obligation. You will find these among our high-jewellery earrings, in the company of other long drops for those who love movement and warmth. When you wish, we would be glad to arrange a private viewing in the Negotiation Room, where the gold strands can be seen to move in the light and the earrings considered fully at your own pace.
