As a special anniversary present, I was commissioned to make a pendant by a husband for his wife. The focal point of the pendant was to be a stunning dark blue sapphire that was to match a pair of earrings previously bought by the couple, which happened to be a pair of blue studs from my Stella collection. Seeing as they wanted the pendant to match the earrings, it made sense to me to embrace the Stella designs in the making of the pendant, but to add a slight twist to make it an individual piece.

| Design ideas |
The designs ranged from simple drop pendants with a central sapphire to more intricate Stella-esque patterns with the sapphire flowers and leaves of tsavourite garnet.

| The chosen design |
The design that was chosen is a play on the Double Flower pendant that features in my Stella collection, however instead of creating the pendant with two flowers at either end of the gold scroll, this design replaces the second flower with the focal sapphire.

The finished pendant was created with Fairtrade 18 carat gold, it contains light and dark blue sapphires that make up the flowers, tsavourite garnets for the green leaves plus the large dark blue sapphire. It was a very well received and wonderfully appreciated anniversary gift.
