The gold frame around the sapphire isn't just a design choice. It's a full bezel setting, which is the most secure way to hold a gemstone. It wraps the sapphire in a protective collar of solid gold, keeping the edges safe from everyday knocks and bumps.
An 18-inch fine gold cable chain holds a two-part pendant that hangs straight and true. At the top, a small round diamond is set in a solid gold bezel. It connects directly to the main event below: a rectangular, emerald-cut sapphire. This larger stone is also fully encased in a substantial gold bezel frame that follows its shape. The sapphire is a deep, uniform blue, and the polished gold catches light along its smooth, rounded edges.
This necklace is made from solid 14 karat gold. That's 58.3% pure gold, mixed with alloys to make it strong enough to wear every day. Because it's solid gold, the colour is permanent—it will never rub off or tarnish. The stone is a lab-created sapphire, which means it has the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as a mined sapphire. You get the same deep blue colour and hardness, but with a clear origin and a more approachable cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the bezel setting on the Gold-Framed Sapphire Necklace make the stone look smaller?
No, the bezel setting doesn't necessarily make the sapphire look smaller. While it covers the very edge of the stone, the bright, polished gold frame creates a contrast that can make the deep blue of the sapphire appear more vibrant and defined. It also provides superior protection for the gem.
Can I shower or swim while wearing my solid 14k gold sapphire necklace?
Yes, you can shower in your solid 14k gold necklace. Water won't harm the gold or the sapphire. However, we recommend taking it off before swimming in pools or hot tubs, as chlorine can be harsh on gold alloys over time. Soaps and lotions can also build up and dull the stones.
How does the 18-inch chain on the Jewel Light Necklace typically sit on the neck?
An 18-inch chain is a very common length that usually sits right on the collarbone for most people. It's long enough to be visible with most necklines but short enough that the pendant won't get lost in your clothing. It's a great length for wearing on its own or for layering.
