Mikado
Graduated Blue Sapphire
& Diamond Necklace
She fastened the necklace and paused before the mirror. The graceful fan-shaped pendant instantly carried her back to the evening she and her fiancé attended The Mikado. As the fans opened across the stage in elegant arcs, she had felt swept into another world—one of beauty, artistry, and timeless sophistication. This necklace echoed those same graceful lines, transforming that cherished memory into something she could wear.
Inspired by the graceful fans of The Mikado, this Art Deco-inspired design captures that same sense of movement and refinement. Crafted in 14-karat white gold, the necklace is prong-set with 54 graduated blue sapphires totaling 0.95 carat. Their rich blue tones flow outward in a delicate fan. Nestled among them are 67 round brilliant diamonds with a total diamond weight of 0.26 carat, adding shimmering highlights that catch the light with every movement. Suspended from an 18-inch 14-karat white gold chain, the necklace is an elegant expression of timeless design that celebrates artistry, confidence, and the enduring beauty of cherished memories.

Why a Cross Sapphire is the Best
We love blue. We know blue. We live by the blue sea, beneath summer blue skies. Our business is located on a peninsula called Portland, surrounded by saltwater on three sides. We can feel the blue ocean pulsing with every tide. From the rooftop of our building, we can see the open sea. Binoculars show ships coming and going on a blue, blue sea.
We love blue sapphire: It is bright, brilliant, and is amazingly durable. As the second hardest gem to diamond, it is a highly wearable gem, ideal for rings. We love blue sapphire…we love it so much that we have traveled to Southeast Asia to find first-choice colors. We choose a lighter, brighter blue than most American jewelers because it shows up best under a wide range of real-world lighting conditions. Our blue sapphires look and perform best on everything from sunny days to a candlelit dinner for two.
