A jewelry item crafted from the precious metal and featuring a series of small, angled facets. These facets, meticulously cut into each link, create a brilliant, light-catching effect resembling the sparkle of the gemstone its named after. A common application is in necklaces, where its reflective properties enhance the overall aesthetic.
Its popularity stems from a combination of factors, including its durability, relative affordability compared to precious stones, and the radiant appearance it offers. Historically, ornamentation of this type has been associated with status and aesthetic appreciation. The specific cutting technique elevates the perceived value and visual appeal of the metallic form.
