From the French for 'a thousand grains', the tiny beads of a milgrain accent can add complexity and detail to a Sapphire design, as well as create a vintage or antique look. Sapphire has always been associated with the sacred and divine. A sapphire pendant is said to bring serenity and purity to the wearer. Yellow gold brings out the bronze and golden colors inside a smoky quartz pendant. White gold will highlight the brown and grey tones of the gem. Either way, you can't go wrong.
