Large sapphires were popular in Mughal jewellery recorded from the time of Jahangir (r. 1605-27). Various portraits of the Emperor show him with large sapphires worn around his neck, turban, or both as in a famous portrait by the artist Daulat now in the Al Thani Collection (Amin Jaffer (ed.), Treasures of the Al Thani Collections at the Hôtel de la Marine, Paris, 2021, p.325; ill. p. 324). However, the prominent use of the stone most likely indicates a Muslim rather than Hindu owner. It is inauspicious for Hindus identify with a stone associated with Saturn (Jaffer and Okada, op.cit., 232). A fine 18th century turban ornament set with a large central sapphire presented by the Nawab of Bengal to Admiral Charles Watson (d. 1757) is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (IS.3&A-1982).

This pendant has an AGL, 2019, report no. 1100348: Australia, no gemological evidence of heat.
