Product Insights & Style Tips

The Monica Rich Kosann 18K Yellow Gold Vermeil over Sterling Silver & Black Steel Locket x Color Blue Sapphire & Blue Enamel Cushion Pendant Necklace, 16-17 inches, lives at the crossroads of heirloom romance and city-sleek edge. A locket silhouette is elevated by warm 18K yellow gold vermeil over sterling silver and tempered by dark steel, while the cushion pendant in blue sapphire and blue enamel delivers a pop of saturated color. The result is something that feels timeless yet distinctly modern, a piece that invites a second glance and a story to tell.

At 16-17 inches, the necklace sits that perfect collarbone length, making the locket and pendant a quiet focal point under sweaters or visible with a sleek neckline. The combination of metals and the blue detailing creates contrasts that pair with everything from neutrals to deep tones, and it layers with other jewelry without losing its own voice.

Monica Rich Kosann pieces are known for storytelling through jewelry, and this design channels that ethos with a luxe color story and the telltale locket form. The blue sapphire and blue enamel provide a vivid accent against the gold and dark steel, a look that feels polished, collectible, and ready to travel from everyday wear to special occasions.

Bold yet refined, this piece makes a statement through its alloy of warm gold vermeil over sterling silver, tempered by a black steel accent. The blue sapphire and blue enamel cushion pendant injects saturated color, elevating the locket into editorial territory. The silhouette feels timeless, while the contrasting metals read modern and collectible.

Craftsmanship: 8/10

Finishing leans toward luxury, with clean edges and a secure clasp, while the layered metals suggest careful engineering. The locket form combined with the bezel setting of the blue sapphire and enamel punctuates craftsmanship without shouting. If any detail stands out, it’s the harmonious integration of texture between the steel and vermeil.
