28 Carat Emerald Cut Sapphire Statement Necklace 18k

This statement necklace features emerald cut blue sapphires totaling 28.10 carats, set in 18 karat yellow gold with a black rhodium finish. The emerald cut creates rectangular step-cut facets that produce long, clean flashes of light rather than sparkle, emphasizing the sapphires' deep blue color and clarity with a hall-of-mirrors effect.

Each sapphire measures 6.0 x 4.0mm and weighs .61 carats, creating uniform size and color along the entire length. The collet setting surrounds each stone with a rim of metal, holding the sapphires securely while the black rhodium plating on portions of the gold creates dramatic contrast against both the yellow metal and the blue stones.

At 17 inches, the necklace sits at the base of the neck where the sapphires catch light with movement throughout wear. The substantial carat weight—over 28 carats total—creates noticeable presence and weight, while the two-tone finish adds visual depth to the design.
