Luxurious 4mm Hand-Knotted Pearl Necklace with 14K Gold Filigree, Sapphires & 0.2ct Lab Diamond

Roxelana: The Story Behind This Pearl Necklace

I first heard her name in Topkapi Palace. Hurrem Sultan—Roxelana—who rose from captive to become the most powerful woman in the Ottoman Empire. Her story captivated me, and when I found the portrait La Sultana Rossa, I was mesmerized. Around her neck: a simple strand of pearls, timelessly elegant.

Then I stepped into the Rüstem Pasha Mosque. Thousands of İznik tiles surrounded me in the most breathtaking blue—deeper than turquoise, richer than cobalt. In that moment, I knew exactly what to create, hand-knotted pearls like Hurrem's, but with sapphires echoing that mesmerizing Iznik blue.

This necklace honors a queen who understood that true power lies in grace.

Why Choose Lab Diamonds? Our lab-created center stone delivers the same sparkle, hardness, and brilliance as mined diamonds, with a clear conscience. Ethically created and environmentally thoughtful—beauty you can feel good about.

Lab-Created Diamonds: Brilliant in Every Way

Lab-created diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to diamonds mined from the earth — same brilliance, same hardness, same fire. The only difference is their origin. Grown in controlled environments using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural process, lab diamonds offer a more ethical and sustainable choice without compromising on beauty or quality.

One thing worth knowing: some lab-grown diamonds — particularly those created using the CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method — can occasionally trigger a false "moissanite" reading on pen-style testers that measure electrical conductivity. This is simply a limitation of that testing method. A proper distinction can always be made by measuring a stone's refractive index, which clearly differentiates diamonds from moissanite.

For complete peace of mind, all of our diamonds are certified by independent, third-party grading agencies — so you can shop with full confidence in what you're getting.

Handcrafted with love.

The necklace is presented in an artisanal wood box, making this the perfect gift. Acrylic LED lighted black box available on request
