9CT WHITE GOLD OVAL CLAW SET SAPPHIRE PENDANT
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Right, lovelies — imagine a tiny pool of midnight folded into a pendant. That’s this 9ct White Gold Sapphire: cool, composed and inexplicably glamorous. It’s the grown-up version of “wear something blue” and makes even your supermarket runs feel dramatic.
The Nuts & Bolts (because you’ll want them)
-
Metal: 9ct White Gold (solid — not plated nonsense)
-
Stone: Deep blue Sapphire (oval 6×4mm, hand set)
-
Style: Classic solitaire inspired by the morganite piece — only icier, more urbane, and considerably sassier
-
Chain: Sold separately (I recommend a delicate 9ct white-gold chain — I’ve got some beauties; buy pendant + chain together and I’ll tuck a discount into checkout like a jewellery ninja)
Why you’ll wear it more than you think
Because it’s versatile. Date night — yes. Board meeting — absolutely. Doing the school run but still want to look like someone who reads Proust for fun — darling, yes. The White-Gold setting makes the Sapphire sing; it’s restrained but fully incandescent when it wants to be.
Packaging & Presentation
Your pendant will arrive in a lovely, fully recycled Christine Alexander gift box, nestled and ready to be given (or unwrapped by you in a theatrical, self-loving fashion).

🛡 White Gold Care (Read this like you mean it)
White Gold is gorgeous but slightly high-maintenance compared to a humble potato. Most White-Gold jewellery is Rhodium-plated to give that very white, mirror finish. So:
-
Avoid chlorine (pools, hot tubs, household bleach). Chlorine accelerates Rhodium wear and can damage the alloy.
-
Don’t shower or sleep in it — soap residue and night-fluff are sneakier enemies than you’d think.
-
Perfume & lotions: Apply these, wait two minutes, then pop on your pendant. Perfume contains acids and solvents that dull plating.
-
Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. If it needs a deeper clean, a quick dip in warm soapy water and a soft brush will do — dry thoroughly.
-
Replating: If the Rhodium fades over the years (natural), a quick re-Rhodium will make it look new, inexpensive and straightforward at any reputable jeweller.
-
Storage: Keep it in the box provided or a soft pouch to avoid scratches from other metal friends in your jewellery box.
