This pendant is crafted from 18-carat yellow gold (750/1000), with a sober and refined setting, characteristic of modern fine jewelry productions. It is centered around a blue topaz, cut in a rectangular step-cut (also known as an emerald cut), which reveals the purity and depth of the color through its large, stepped facets. This type of cut highlights the natural clarity of the gem while limiting excessive light play.

The stone is set in a modernized bezel setting, where the gold follows the geometric shape of the gem, leaving the pavilion visible at the back to allow light to pass through. This setting method, both aesthetic and secure, ensures excellent retention while protecting the edges of the stone.

The bezel is extended upwards by a solid and fixed bail, perfectly integrated, with a slightly triangular cross-section, allowing for fluid articulation on a necklace without weakening the visual balance of the piece. The finish is mirror polished, enhancing the warmth of the yellow metal and contrasting with the bluish reflections of the topaz.

This type of pendant, without excessive decoration, relies entirely on the quality of the cut and the enhancement of the gem, in a spirit of geometric sobriety. The presence of a blue topaz—a gem frequently used as a substitute for aquamarine—gives the piece a touch of clear color, while remaining within the cool shades sought after for their brilliance and freshness.
