The Colombian Emerald Legacy

Color & Clarity

The emeralds in these earrings exhibit the highly coveted “Colombian green” – a pure, vivid green with subtle bluish undertones. Unlike emeralds from other sources, Colombian stones have minimal secondary color, resulting in the clearest, most vibrant green possible. The exceptional clarity allows light to penetrate deep into the stone, creating a mesmerizing glow.

Design Excellence

The elongated chandelier design serves multiple purposes: it elongates the neck, draws the eye upward toward the face, and allows the emeralds to catch light from every angle. The diamond-studded leaf frames add brilliant sparkle that complements the emeralds’ verdant glow.

Artisan Setting

Each marquise emerald is precision-set with claws at its points and sides, which provides security while allowing maximum light exposure. Our master setters use white gold prongs that are rhodium-plated to enhance the emerald’s green color through contrast.

The Diamond Accent

Pavé-set diamonds totaling 0.40 carats outline every leaf of the design, creating a luminous frame around each emerald. The diamonds are carefully matched for color (F-G) and clarity (VS), ensuring they complement rather than compete with the emerald’s beauty.

Wearing & Occasion

Care Instructions

Emeralds require special care due to their natural characteristics:

• Daily Wear: Remove before washing hands, applying lotion, or physical activities
• Cleaning: Use only lukewarm water and mild soap; pat dry gently
• Storage: Store separately in soft pouch to prevent scratches
• Avoid: Ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, harsh chemicals, sudden temperature changes
• Professional Care: Annual inspection recommended

Emerald Enhancement Note

Like most emeralds worldwide, these stones have received minor clarity enhancement (oiling), a traditional and accepted practice dating back centuries. This enhancement is stable with proper care and does not affect long-term beauty or value.

Investment Value

Fine Colombian emeralds are among the world’s most valuable gemstones, with prices rising steadily due to decreasing supply and increasing global demand. These earrings represent both exquisite beauty and sound investment.
