Length is the whole look
16 inches sits at the collarbone, 18 at the first button, 20 and up reads as a layer. Measure a chain you already love.
Sapphire solitaire necklaces
Corundum in every color but red, a 9 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for every day. Nothing in the studio matches this exactly today, which is what commissions are for: we will build it around the stone. · 0 WORKS

Before you choose
How to choose a necklace
One pendant or a layer
A single stone on a fine chain works every day; layers want mixed lengths two inches apart so they never tangle.
Chain gauge matters more than metal
Under 1.2 mm kinks with daily wear. Ours start at 1.4 mm for anything carrying a stone.
Clasps are a daily ritual
Lobster clasps for security, slider bolos for one-handed dressing. We fit either at the same price.
The short answer
Sapphire solitaire necklaces are made to commission at Made With Color: one artist, one bench, in New York. Ask and we will pull stones in daylight and send passports before you decide. One stone, held up where it can be examined and believed. The most honest setting there is.
About sapphire
Corundum in every color but red, a 9 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for every day. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
CHOOSING THE STYLE
On the style
Prong count is the taste decision: four shows more stone, six holds it safer.
Start with hardness
Sapphire is 9 / 10 on the Mohs scale. Hard enough for daily wear in any setting, including rings.
Fit before beauty
16 inches sits at the collarbone, 18 at the first button, 20 and up reads as a layer.
Then the look
Choose the chain length before the pendant. Measure a chain already loved.
Why choose a solitaire over a halo?
A solitaire bets everything on the stone and wins if the stone deserves it. A halo spreads the light wider. If the stone was chosen well, the solitaire is the braver and better buy.
Is sapphire good for necklaces?
Sapphire is 9 / 10 on the Mohs scale. Pendants swing free of hard knocks, which makes them the right home for softer stones.
Which birthstone is sapphire?
Sapphire is the Sep birthstone and the traditional stone of the 5th & 45th anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Are these stones treated?
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
How do these wear?
High solitaires catch on knits and gloves. Hands that work want the low version; the stone loses nothing.
How long until it arrives?
Ready-now works leave the studio within two business days, insured and signed for. Made to order pieces state their bench time on the page, most within three to four weeks.
