Sterling Silver Blue Stone Oval Cabochon Statement Pendant Necklace 18 Inch

This sterling silver pendant necklace centers a large deep blue oval cabochon set high in a smooth bezel and framed by an elaborate silverwork surround. The stone is opaque and richly saturated, drifting from near navy to a brighter cornflower across its dome. Its polish is soft and glassy rather than mirror bright, which is exactly what gives a cabochon of this size its depth.

The frame is where the craftsmanship really shows. Twisted rope borders, applied silver beadwork, scrolled volutes, and ridged bars build up in layers around the bezel, wrapping the oval in a wide decorative halo that gives the pendant real presence without adding bulk. A heavy ribbed bail lets it swing freely from the 18 inch rolo chain, and the darkened finish of the chain sets off the polished silverwork beautifully. This is a substantial one-of-a-kind statement piece you won't come across twice.
