This stunning drop pendant is meticulously crafted from 14 karat white gold, featuring a remarkable 1.200 carat Montana Sapphire, accented by .130 carats of sparkling diamonds.

Discovered in 1865 by gold prospectors, Montana Sapphires are mined from the alluvial deposits of the state, often found alongside gold during the rush of the 1870s. This historic discovery contributed to Montana's nickname, "The Treasure State."
Montana Sapphires are typically pale in their natural state but can undergo heat treatment to achieve vibrant shades across the spectrum, with the most common and sought-after color being an intense blue-green. The stones are cherished for their durability and brilliance, making them an exquisite choice for fine jewelry. This pendant encapsulates the allure and mystique of Montana Sapphires, offering not only a piece of the vast Montana skies but also a slice of American gemological history. The combination of the sapphire's deep, radiant color and the pendant's elegant design creates a timeless piece, perfect for those who appreciate the unique origins and natural beauty of their jewelry.
