Oval-Cut Blue Sapphire Pendant on Gold Singapore Chain

This jewelry piece consists of a single oval-cut blue sapphire pendant suspended from a fine yellow gold chain. The sapphire exhibits a deep, medium-dark cornflower blue hue with visible internal inclusions reflecting light, suggesting natural origin rather than synthetic. The gemstone is secured within a classic four-prong basket setting, crafted from yellow gold to match the chain. The prongs are delicately rounded, indicating mid-range to high-quality craftsmanship. The chain is a 'Singapore' style, characterized by its twisted, faceted links that provide a high degree of sparkle when in motion. The metal appears to be at least 14k yellow gold based on the luster and color tone, though specific hallmarking on the bail or clasp is not visible in this view. The condition of the piece appears excellent; the sapphire shows no obvious surface abrasions or chips, and the prongs appear sturdy. There is no visible oxidation on the metal. The style is timeless and suggests a manufacturing period from the late 20th century to the present. The estimated size of the sapphire is approximately 1.5 to 2 carats based on visual proportions relative to the chain width.
