Sapphires and Diamonds "Mosaic" Pendant Necklace
The architecture of this pendant necklace is based on a perfect mastery of geometry and a striking play of contrasts, characteristic of the revisited Art Deco aesthetic. The central motif evokes a precious mosaic of eight natural princess-cut sapphires in deep blue. These square gems, each measuring 2.8 mm, are set in an invisible setting, a complex jewelry technique that makes the metal disappear to reveal only a flat surface of intense color. This mineral rigor is illuminated by an asymmetrical line of eleven brilliant-cut diamonds, including one in the center, totaling approximately 0.44 carats. The incandescent sparkle of the white stones underlines the depth of the sapphires and guides the eye to the 18k white gold setting. The pendant is suspended from a 42 cm Popcorn chain, also known as Coreana. Supple and silky, this chain is by Unoaerre, a manufacturer based in Arezzo and a world reference since 1926. This pre-owned jewel is a piece of character that combines Italian fluidity with a timeless architectural structure.
Preparation and inspection of this pendant necklace
Before joining our selection, this necklace benefited from a complete refurbishment carried out by our jewelry artisans. The white gold was carefully polished and then rhodium-plated to restore its original mirror-white lustre, essential for sublimating the hue of the sapphires. Particular attention was paid to the setting: the tension of the sapphire's invisible setting and the diamonds' claws were checked to ensure optimum security. The Popcorn chain and its lobster clasp have been checked to guarantee their solidity. As a result, the jewel is presented in impeccable aesthetic condition, ready to be worn with absolute fluidity.
Responsible shopping: why buy this second-hand sapphire necklace
Choosing this necklace second-hand means prioritizing intrinsic quality and sustainable design. The presence of the Unoaerre signature on the chain attests to high quality craftsmanship, while the estimated weight of the sapphires of around 1.10 carats gives the jewel real value. Buying a piece that has already been produced allows you to afford noble materials such as natural sapphires and 18-carat gold at a fairer price than new. It's an approach that enhances the value of jewellery heritage and prolongs the history of an elegant creation, far removed from ephemeral trends.
