Pave Emerald Pendant 3.67 Ct., 18K White Gold

From the first sketch to the final polish, this custom made pendant setting is conceived as an heirloom in waiting, a piece that honors history while embracing personal expression. We offer selection of fine metals, 14K Rose Gold, 14K White Gold, 18K White Gold, 14K Yellow Gold, 18K Yellow Gold, Platinum 950, allowing you to choose the tone that best complements your chosen center stone. Center stone choices include Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, or a gemstone of your preference, each with its own lineage and lore, each chosen for its color, depth, and character. The design can be executed in a number of classic setting styles, including pave, halo, and bezel, and we also offer an ancient inspired symbolic motif that draws on timeless patterns and spiritual elements for those who wish to embrace that direction. We invite you to tell us if you want the piece to follow the ancient inspired motif, otherwise the pendant will be crafted in a style that echoes classical elegance without specific cultural labeling. Our approach is guided by respect for tradition, focus on durability, and the desire to create a piece that will be passed down with pride.

The ancient inspired symbolic motif is rendered with care, evoking the language of patterns that have resonated for generations, without assigning a specific cultural label until you direct us to do so. Intricate scrollwork, repeating geometric rhythms, and subtle symbolic details can be placed where they will be both seen and discovered, hidden within the structure of the pendant like a quiet message. This approach favors meaning over trend, creating a setting that reads as timeless, contemplative, and rooted in a sense of ceremony. When executed in warm rose gold the motifs take on a soft, living quality, while white gold or platinum emphasize crispness and enduring strength. Filigree like lattices and carefully balanced negative space allow light to pass through, so that the center stone speaks with greater clarity, and so that the piece carries the feeling of an object that belongs to a lineage, not merely a season.

The pave interpretation uses many small stones set closely together to create a surface that sparkles as a continuous field, providing a refined, elegant backdrop for the center gem. Pave work highlights skillful setting technique because each tiny stone must be seated precisely so that metal is nearly invisible and the light reads as unbroken brilliance. This is particularly striking when combined with ruby, sapphire, or emerald centers, because the halo of small diamonds or matching colored gems can either frame or contrast the principal stone, drawing the eye to its color and depth. The halo style places the center stone within a ring of smaller stones, increasing apparent size and enhancing scintillation, and when paired with the right metal choice the halo becomes a luminous stage for the central gem. Combining pave and halo techniques can yield a pendant that reads as both delicate and bold, gracefully marrying old world craftsmanship with a modern sensibility in proportion and symmetry.

The bezel setting offers a different kind of elegance, one of restraint and security, because a smooth metal border encircles the gemstone and protects its edges while providing a sleek silhouette. Bezel settings age beautifully, offering peace of mind for everyday wear, and they allow the metal selection to become part of the visual narrative, framing color in a way that feels deliberate and composed. In our workshop the journey begins with discussion and sketches, where we translate your intentions into line and proportion. We then move to detailed technical drawings and a three dimensional model, refining prongs, bezels, and gallery work until the balance of weight and form is perfected. The chosen stones are sourced for color and clarity that match the design brief, and then our setters bring the pendant to life, placing each pave stone, each halo element, and each bezel rim with patience and exacting eye. Final steps include polishing, quality inspection, and hallmarking, so that the finished piece arrives as a small, complete world, ready to be worn and to become part of new stories. If you prefer the ancient inspired motif, please tell us and we will infuse the piece with those symbolic patterns, otherwise we will craft a classic setting in your preferred metal and stone, ensuring a pendant that honors history, serves daily life, and carries meaning for generations to come.
