Ruby Center and Yellow Gold
In the center of this pendant, a two carat round red sapphire is bezel set in 14k yellow gold. The rich red of the sapphire gives energy to the six yellow gold flames that extend out from this center setting, imbuing them with the spirit of fire that makes up one half of the dynamic relationship explored in the design.

Circle and Diamond Accents
The outer margin of the pendant is made up of sleek metal. Six icicle shapes extend from the inner surface of this circle, continuing all the way in to connect with the center bezel setting in between each of the yellow gold flames.
Each icicle begins as three small strands that come together and then continue on as one to the center. At the spot where they join together, a round white diamond is bright cut set, providing the icy brilliance to balance out the center sapphire perfectly.
