Cubic Zirconia Pendant in 18K Gold

A marquise (navete) cubic zirconia pendant in 18K gold — the elongated cut, in solitary form.

The marquise — _navete_ in Portuguese — is one of the most directional stone cuts: an elongated oval with pointed ends, originally created in the 18th century. As pendant, the cut gives the piece a vertical pull that other cuts don't produce.

This pendant uses a single marquise cubic zirconia set in 18K yellow gold, with no halo or surrounding stones — the cut itself does all the visual work. At 0.6 grams, the pendant is sized for daily wear.
