9CT WHITE GOLD OVAL PINK SAPPHIRE & DIAMOND CLUSTER PENDANT

Alright, folks, let's talk about corundum, the mineral name for Sapphire! 💎💍

First things first, this gem is tough as nails, coming in second only to Diamond on the hardness scale. So, what does that mean for you? It means you can give it a good cleaning without too much fuss, just make sure you follow the manufacturer's advice. Easy peasy, right? 🛁✨

You see, this little wonder isn't just a pretty face; Sapphire's got stories to tell. Back in the Middle Ages, people believed it was the ultimate poison antidote, like some magical superhero potion. 🦸‍♂️💥 And it had this aura, this power, that could sway spirits. Imagine that – a gemstone with attitude! 😲👻

And guess what? The good book itself, the Bible, has a few shoutouts to this gem. It's like the original celebrity endorsement! 📖🌟

Now, when it comes to these Pink sparklers, the colour game is strong. From a delicate blush to a vibrant pop, there's a Pink Sapphire to match every taste. And here's a little secret – corundum, the mineral that births these beauties, is scattered all over our lovely planet. That means there's a bounty of pink stones out there, and most of them? You guessed it, Pink Sapphires. These babies come with price tags that won't give you sticker shock, and you can cherry-pick from a smorgasbord of sizes to find that perfect pink.

Now, let's talk about birthdays and stars. If you're a September baby or a proud Taurus, this gem's got your name written all over it. It's your birthstone, your cosmic buddy! ♍️✨

Oh, and when it comes to anniversaries, this gem's the gift that keeps on giving. It's the star of the show for the 5th, 45th, and 70th anniversaries. Imagine celebrating 70 years of love with a gemstone that's been dazzling throughout the ages. 💖💍

Now, here's the fun part – Sapphire isn't just pretty; it's tough too. Like, seriously tough. It clocks in at a solid 9 on the Mohs scale. 💪💎 So, it's not just a looker; it's built to last. Talk about the full package!

So, White Gold is like the chameleon of the jewellery world. It's not just pure Gold; it's Gold hanging out with some other metals, like nickel, Silver, or Palladium. And here's the thing, depending on which buddies Gold invites to the party and how much of each metal they bring, White Gold can take on different shades. 🎨

The term "White Gold" gets thrown around a lot in the jewellery biz, but it's kinda like the word "white" itself – it covers a whole bunch of colours. Think pale yellow, slightly brownish, or even a hint of rose. 🌼🍂🌷

Now, when it comes to the exact mix of metals, there are a couple of recipes. One is the Gold–Palladium–Silver combo, and the other is Gold–Nickel–Copper–Zinc. But here's a little heads-up: some folks might be sensitive to nickel, especially if they wear it for a long time. It's like that one friend who's great at parties but can get on your nerves if they stick around too much. 😅

Now, if you're wondering about the Gold itself, it's rarely pure Gold. Even before its White Gold makeover, it often had a touch of something else in it, like a mercury alloy. And guess what? That can cause some people to have an allergic reaction. Ouch! 🤧

But no worries, when I get my White Gold from the EU, it usually leans more towards the Gold–Palladium–Silver mix. And for any vintage pieces or preloved gems, I give 'em a makeover with a splash of Rhodium. That keeps them looking fresh and shiny. 💍✨

And here's a pro tip: avoid taking your White Gold jewellery for a swim, especially in pools with lots of chlorine. Chlorine can be a bit of a buzzkill and speed up the fading of that Rhodium plating. Nobody wants that! 😎💧

So there you have it, White Gold, a bit of a mix but still a star in the jewellery world! ⭐✨
