Emerald Necklace
Emerald Necklace
Raw emerald from Brazil, uncut, set in gold-plated silver - the stone has retained its natural, angular shape and matte sides. The green is deep and cool; by the window, the crystal is translucent along the edges while remaining dark in the center. Cracks and inclusions inside are a normal feature of emeralds; clear, transparent stones are a rarity sold by the carat. On the 45 cm chain, it hangs just below the collarbones; choose 63 or 83 cm if you want it to sit lower.

About the stone
Emerald is the green variety of beryl, formed in pegmatites and metamorphic zones. It owes its saturated, cool color to traces of chromium and vanadium. Characteristic of these stones are internal inclusions, called “jardin” (garden) in French, which provide natural proof of their authenticity. The world's most important deposits of this mineral are located in Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia. Find out more in the article Emerald - the jewel of kings on our blog.
Care
Avoid contact between the gold-plated necklace and water or perfume, and clean the emerald only with a dry, soft cloth. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of your jewelry box.
