The diamonds aren't set in a simple circle. They're arranged to create a scalloped, starburst edge around the central sapphire, giving the classic halo design more texture and life when you see it up close.
The centrepiece is an oval-cut blue sapphire, held securely by four prongs. It’s encircled by a halo of twelve small, round diamonds. The shared-prong setting creates that scalloped, almost flower-like silhouette. The entire pendant is polished to a bright, reflective finish and hangs from a simple bail on a 16-inch link chain.
We built this pendant from PT900 platinum. It’s a high-purity alloy—90% pure platinum—which means it's dense and incredibly durable. Its naturally white colour won't tarnish or fade over time. Because platinum is so pure, it's also hypoallergenic and a great choice for anyone with sensitive skin. The deep blue sapphire and all twelve surrounding diamonds are natural, not lab-created, and each one is set by hand into the platinum frame.

This is a classic sapphire halo, but scaled down. At just 8mm tall, it’s not an overwhelming piece of jewellery. It sits right at the collarbone on its 16-inch chain, making it small enough for daily wear but with enough detail from the diamonds and platinum to still be noticed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the platinum on this Oval Sapphire Pendant scratch or change colour over time?
The PT900 platinum will not tarnish or change colour. It is a very durable metal, but it can develop a soft, satiny finish called a patina over many years of wear. Any surface scratches can easily be polished out by a professional jeweller to restore its original high shine.
Is it safe to shower or sleep while wearing my Oval Sapphire Pendant?
We recommend removing your pendant before showering or sleeping. Soaps and lotions can build up behind the stones, dulling their sparkle, and the fine chain can get caught or stressed while you sleep. A quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth is all it needs for daily cleaning.
How does the 16-inch chain on the Oval Sapphire Pendant typically fit on the neck?
A 16-inch chain usually sits right around the base of the neck, near the collarbone, on most adults. It’s a classic length that keeps the pendant visible just below the neckline of many tops. If you need a different length, please contact us for custom options.
