This pendant is part of a masterfully hand-crafted series within the Aurum Collection which showcases the art of granulation. Granulation is an ancient jewelry-making technique dating back to the third millennium B.C.
It involves decorating jewelry with tiny gold balls, called granules, which are meticulously placed and fused to the surface, making the process highly time-intensive. This technique can only be performed using high karat gold, so our goldsmiths chose 22K for it's durability. An 18K gold chain and clasp ensures extra strength for long-term wear.
Featuring a naturally kite-shaped rough Yogo Sapphire, this pendant has a story to tell - an ancient art form meets the organic beauty of one of Montana's rarest gemstones.
