Emeralds are among our favorite precious gemstones. It is a stone with a rich history and mythology that harkens back to some of the world’s earliest cultures. %expanded-mobile%

That history transcends geographies as the emerald was coveted as a gemstone by societies throughout the world. It is said that the emerald was a favorite stone of Cleopatra, the Egyptian Queen whose fame has lived on for centuries. %expanded-desktop%

The brilliant green color of a beautiful emerald evokes images of flowing fields of rich grasslands and the wonder of other natural panoramas. With that imagery in mind, we consistently offer a variety of special edition emerald lockets which together with other ever day styles in 18k gold are among our most popular emerald necklaces. We world hard to pick the deepest, richest emerald shades in our special edition locket necklaces, as well as a wonderful top-quality shade that we can repeat over and over in our more everyday styles. Finding the right emerald shade is not always easy, so going through the practice of painstakingly sourcing just the right stones for these gold emerald necklaces is important to us. In many styles we will combine the emeralds with diamond halos or other accenting to create an emerald and diamond necklace. Also important to us is the cut of the emerald stones. In addition to rounds, we will often use cushion, emerald or oval cut emeralds in our special editions allowing us to offer many uniquely special design motifs. For those with a May birthday, an emerald jewelry style or emerald locket can hold an even more special place and make a great birthday gift as it is also the May birthstone.
