18k Yellow Gold Blue Topaz Vintage-inspired Pendant
Item #103498Pendant Description
Blue Topaz Center
At the center of this design is a 1.67 carat checkerboard cushion cut blue topaz with a rich blue color. It’s displayed beautifully in a modified bezel setting that protects the edges of the stone, while the open basket in the back ensures that plenty of light finds its way in.
Pendant Design
The bezel setting of the topaz follows the contours of the stone most of the way around, with the exception of the portion of the setting that lies in the middle of each side of the stone. At these spots, the metal curves up on either side, coming together to form a point and creating a tiny space between the setting and the stone in the middle of each side.
This is what gives the body of the pendant its shape as well, and it creates a somewhat star-like appearance for he topaz. The pendant attaches to the bale through a loop of metal that rises up from the topmost of these points, and the bale is decorated with metal beadwork. This combines with the double rows of milgrain beading that surround the topaz to add to the vintage overtones of the piece.

Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
