Pave Greenish Blue Aquamarine Pendant 2.38 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This pendant is presented in a classic oval configuration featuring a transparent 2.38 carat aquamarine, precisely measured at 11.14 x 7.40 x 5.63 mm, set in 14K yellow gold as the standard mounting. The main gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a controlled step influenced pavilion geometry, a design that maximizes both scintillation and color retention. The mixed brilliant approach yields a lively play of light through a balanced table to depth ratio, and the excellent polish contributes directly to crisp facet junctions and strong facet reflections. The aquamarine exhibits a greenish blue hue with faint color saturation, a tonal quality that is accentuated by the surrounding white diamonds, and the stone has been heat treated to enhance tone and clarity. Clarity is reported as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, an attribute that results in an exceptionally clean visual field for a colored stone of this size, allowing the cutter to optimize facet angles without masking the gem with cloudiness. The origin is Mozambique, and that provenance is consistent with specimens that demonstrate both fine transparency and subtle, cool saturation.

Surrounding the center aquamarine is a precisely executed halo of white round diamonds totaling approximately 0.75 carats, each cut to round brilliant proportions to complement the central mixed brilliant layout. These accents are graded VS for clarity and F G for color, a combination that ensures strong white flash and minimal inclusion visibility under normal viewing conditions. The diamonds are pavé set with careful bead and shared prong work, a method that secures the melee while minimizing metal occupancy between stones, thereby enhancing perceived carat weight and creating a continuous rim of light. Attention to symmetry and matched table sizes was applied during selection, enabling coherent scintillation and uniform refraction around the oval perimeter. The gallery is open with an engineered cross support beneath the pavilion, a structural design that allows maximum light return into the aquamarine while providing secure mechanical support. All seats and bezels are hand inspected and burnished to eliminate sharp edges, and prong tips are tapered to a fine profile to reduce visual distraction and to maintain a refined silhouette when worn.

Although the photographed example is in 14K yellow gold, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this design in a range of precious metal options to suit individual style preferences and durability requirements. Available alternatives include 14K white gold with professional rhodium plating for a bright white appearance, 14K rose gold for a warmer contemporary feel, 18K yellow gold for a richer gold tonality and increased inertness, 18K white gold for a higher gold content white metal option, and platinum 950 for maximal density and hypoallergenic wear characteristics. Each metal choice influences the visual interaction between the aquamarine and the diamonds, for example, white metals tend to emphasize pure brilliance and de emphasize warm undertones, while yellow or rose metals create a subtle contrast that can warm the perceived color of the center stone. Customers may also request specific finishing treatments, including high polish, satin finish, or custom textural work on the bail and undergallery, and the setting can be configured with alternative prong counts or a bezel style upon request to meet personal security preferences.

In terms of provenance, documentation, and aftercare, The Natural Gemstone Company provides a full specification sheet that details carat weight, cut type, exact dimensions, clarity remarks, color description, enhancement disclosure noting heat treatment, and country of origin. We recommend routine inspections for prong integrity and gentle cleaning using warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft brush, with periodic professional polishing to maintain the metal finish and facet brilliance. For customers seeking certification, we can coordinate independent gemological reporting, and custom requests such as alternate metal selection, chain length, or additional engraving are accommodated by our atelier with CAD previews prior to fabrication. This pendant is engineered for both aesthetic refinement and daily wear, with secure structural elements and meticulous setting technique, and it represents the level of selection and craftsmanship you can expect from The Natural Gemstone Company.
