The Petite Anise Fold necklace centers on a green-blue pear-shaped Montana sapphire, held in an 18K yellow gold bezel at the heart of an airy, floral-inspired pendant. Designer Karin Jacobson builds the surrounding petals in openwork oxidized sterling silver, letting the dark, textured metal set off the sapphire's cool green-blue color and the gold's warmth in equal measure.
The open floral form keeps the pendant light and graceful, with the bezel setting holding the stone securely while still letting it read as the clear focal point. It hangs from an adjustable 16- to 18-inch oxidized sterling silver cable chain, chosen specifically because it's the strongest chain by weight while still looking delicate, so you get real durability without any visual bulk.
This is a strong pick for someone drawn to a Montana sapphire with real geographic identity over a generic stone. The green-blue stone here is one of the harder-to-find colors in Montana sapphire, adding to the piece's sense of originality. It layers well with other pendants if that's your style, or it holds its own as a single, considered piece for daily wear.

FAQ
Will the color I see on my screen match the necklace in person?
Green-blue Montana sapphire can shift a bit depending on the light around it, and your monitor adds its own variation on top of that. Screen settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the necklace you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.

This piece is part of Alara's artisan-focused collection and features natural variation in handcrafted details and gemstone character.
What does oxidized sterling silver mean?
Oxidized sterling silver has a deliberately darkened finish that adds contrast and highlights the design. Over time, the finish may evolve with wear.
Is the Montana sapphire treated?
Unless specifically listed as unheated, Montana sapphires are assumed to be heat treated.
Can I wear this every day?
Yes, with appropriate care. Fine jewelry should be removed during heavy activity, sleeping, swimming, and exposure to chemicals to help preserve its finish and structure.
