Cryptic Pendant [Iolite]

Commonly known as the water sapphire, iolite is a pleochroism stone – meaning it transmits light differently when viewed from different directions. Its ability to make things appear ‘clearer’ is so impressive that it was used by the Vikings as a compass to identify the location of the sun on cloudy and misty days. Historically it is also believed to aid sleep and unlock creativity, and is often cited as the gemstone representing twenty-one years of marriage.

The Cryptic Pendant is hand-crafted in 9ct yellow gold and set with a beautiful, violet iolite at its centre. Its clean lines makes it a worthy gift for anyone who likes unfussy jewellery, or jewellery with a modern touch. The pendant itself takes its shape from the famous asscher-cut diamond, creating the illusion of a stone within a stone.

The Cryptic Pendant is also available in white topaz, amethyst, peridot, citrine, garnet, topaz and smokey quartz, making it an ideal gift for any jewellery lover, whatever their birth month.
