A breathtaking piece of wearable history fit for royalty. This original late Victorian (circa 1890s) tiara or crown motif piece has been expertly tailored into a modern, highly wearable pendant necklace. Crafted in warm 14k yellow gold, the crown is meticulously set with a graduation of glowing natural seed pearls and punctuated by five vibrant, old-cut Yogo Montana sapphires.
True to their legendary provenance, these rare American gemstones exhibit the coveted, completely natural "cornflower blue" body color that remains perfectly vivid even under low light. The openwork arches of the crown, paired with the delicate milgrain and bezel craftsmanship, showcase the romantic, regal sentimentality of the late 19th century.

The Rarity of Yogo Montana Sapphires
Mined from a single, narrow dike in Judith Basin County, Montana, Yogo sapphires are prized worldwide for their exceptional clarity and uniform, bright blue color. Unlike 95% of sapphires on the modern market, Yogos are never heat-treated—their breathtaking color is entirely a gift from nature. Finding a historical Victorian piece featuring a matching suite of these rare American gems is an absolute triumph for serious antique jewelry collectors.
