Solid 10K Yellow Gold Star Pendant with Blue Topaz and Tanzanite

This solid 10K yellow gold star pendant centers a round faceted blue topaz surrounded by five marquise-cut tanzanite radiating outward as the points of the star. The center stone sits high in a beaded prong crown that lifts it above the arms, giving the piece real dimension rather than a flat silhouette. Each marquise is set in a slim open-backed frame with tipped prongs at the outer point, so light travels the full length of every stone and the violet-blue tone stays lively as the pendant moves. The openwork gallery on the reverse is cleanly finished and keeps the pendant light on the neck despite its spread. A tapered bail is fitted with a jump ring, letting the star swing freely and lie naturally against the chest. The soft periwinkle and lilac palette against warm yellow gold gives the piece a delicate celestial character that reads equally well as everyday wear or as a layering piece.
