Description
This is a beautiful strand of lavender-violet sapphire briolettes. The color is unusual and I would say somewhere between lavender and pink. This color of sapphire is rarely seen at gem shows or offered by gem dealers. The beads are well cut and bright and are slightly graduated in size (see photos with older U.S. dime for size/scale).
Wire protectors, and crimps, which are subject to wear/stress, are made with gold filled components for greater durability. The decorative beads and clasp are solid 18k gold.
