Arber Solitaire - 14k White Gold, Green Australian Sapphire Leaf
Our Arber collection is unique, featuring lovely hand-cut Australian sapphire "leaves", set in hand-made, high-carat gold settings. We've designed this collection to be comfortable with a low profile, classic, organic style, perfect for daily wear.
This collection has been named after the wonderful Agnes Arber, a pioneering botanist and philosopher. Born in 1879 and initially mentored by Ethel Sargant, she conducted early research at University College London and later worked at the Balfour Laboratory, Cambridge. Arber delved into plant morphology, publishing significant works like "Water Plants" and "The Monocotyledons." Despite facing gender bias, she excelled in her field, becoming the first woman botanist elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1946. Her impactful book, "The Natural Philosophy of Plant Form" (1950), explored plant morphology philosophy. Arber's distinguished career earned her the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society in 1948.
Please note the pendant comes with a complimentary gold-plated "display chain". This chain may be suitable for short-term wear. However, it's really for presentation, for customers who are planning on using their own chain. If you do not have a suitable chain, we highly recommend adding one of our high-quality gold chains to your order.
In the images provided, the pendant is hanging on our 1.3mm 14k gold cable chain.
