Striking Contemporary 18ct Yellow Gold 45.0 carat Brilliant-Cut Smoky Quartz Pendant
A Statement in Smoky Splendour!
Bold, beautiful and utterly captivating! Featuring an impressive 45.0 carat oval brilliant-cut smoky quartz, this spectacular pendant radiates rich cognac, warm chocolate and golden amber tones, brought to life by its luxurious 18ct yellow gold setting. Wonderfully substantial yet effortlessly elegant, this is a true statement jewel that commands attention and catches the light beautifully from every angle.
Please note, chains are for display only unless otherwise stated.
Oh, what a spectacular jewel this is! Bold, beautifully proportioned and absolutely mesmerising in its depth of colour, this magnificent contemporary pendant showcases an enormous 45.0 carat oval brilliant-cut natural smoky quartz, elegantly mounted in rich 18ct yellow gold.
The undeniable star of this piece is, of course, that breathtaking smoky quartz! Exhibiting an exquisite spectrum of warm, earthy tones, the gemstone transitions from rich chocolate and deep espresso browns to glowing cognac, amber and golden honey hues. In softer lighting, the quartz takes on an almost inky brown appearance, while natural daylight brings those glorious golden undertones to life, revealing a remarkable warmth and translucency.
Measuring an impressive 31.0mm x 22.0mm, this extraordinary 45 carat gemstone possesses a wonderfully commanding presence. Its beautifully executed oval brilliant cut features numerous facets that capture and reflect the light, creating flashes of warm golden brilliance around the stone's edges and highlighting the captivating contrast between its darker depths and luminous amber tones.
The quartz is elegantly secured within a minimalist 18ct yellow gold claw setting, allowing the sheer beauty and exceptional proportions of the gemstone to take centre stage. The warm, buttery yellow gold provides the most magnificent complement to the quartz's rich autumnal colouring, while the generously proportioned tapered gold bale lends a lovely sense of balance and refinement to the overall design.
Measuring an impressive 4.1cm in length, including the bale, this is most certainly a pendant designed to be noticed! Despite its substantial dimensions, the simplicity of its setting gives the piece an effortless sophistication. Worn against a dark garment, as beautifully illustrated in our photographs, the gemstone's extraordinary colour positively glows, creating a dramatic contrast that is both luxurious and wonderfully elegant.
With a total weight of 14.5 grams, this is a substantial and beautifully striking jewel that offers all the drama of an oversized gemstone without the need for elaborate embellishment.
