Lepage Marceau necklace in yellow gold, green sapphire and diamonds

18k yellow gold (750 thousandths) is 75% pure gold, alloyed with other precious metals to make it workable. It is the most beautiful quality of gold that can be found in jewelry.

Green sapphire is a gemstone belonging to the corundum family, like ruby. It should not be confused with emerald, which is a beryl. Its green color is due to the presence of iron in specific quantities in its chemical composition. On the Mohs scale (a scale for measuring mineral hardness, ranging from 1 (the lowest, like talc) to 10 (the highest, like diamond), sapphire has a hardness of 9.

The "round cut", also called "brilliant cut" is the cut (i.e. the way the stone is cut) considered to be of ideal proportions to maximize brilliance and fire.

Lepage chains are particularly brilliant thanks to their "diamond" finish: the links that make them up are slightly bevelled, reflecting the light with each roll of the chain on your skin, making them sparkle beautifully. A real plus for enhancing the pendants they accompany!
