Estate Sterling Silver 4.86ctw Marquise Blue Topaz & Synthetic Ruby Necklace

This contemporary pendant features a marquise-cut blue topaz weighing approximately 4.71 carats, set within a sculptural sterling silver frame and accented by a 14 karat yellow gold bezel-set synthetic ruby.

The pendant hangs from a 24-inch rope chain secured with a lobster clasp.

Sleek and modern with a vivid color pairing, this pendant balances clean lines with bold personality. The elongated marquise cut draws the eye, while the ruby detail offers a surprising twist of warmth and depth. It’s a distinctive design that feels both refined and expressive—ideal for adding color and confidence to any look.

The Marquise Cut: From Royalty to Modern Design

The marquise cut, originally commissioned by King Louis XV of France in the 18th century, was designed to resemble the shape of his mistress’s smile. Its elongated form and pointed ends make it ideal for creating a sense of movement and elegance. In modern jewelry, the marquise cut is often used to bring dynamic energy to bold, geometric settings—like this pendant—where its sharp symmetry and faceting can shine.
