Pink Sapphire and Pearl Pendant

I made this pendant with a pair of wonderful mabe, saltwater pearls together with pink sapphires and set in 18K yellow gold. The pendant is symbolic of a mother and daughter relationship, the mother being the bottom pearl and the daughter the top pearl. The mother and daughter are bound together by a field of love symbolized by the pink sapphires. The pink luminescence in the pearls complements and reflects the sapphires, showing the strength of union between the mother and her daughter.
The hues and lustre in these very large pearls are breathtaking. The piece was a joy to make, and hopefully a joy to wear.
