Who doesn’t love an emerald? We have an extra special affinity for these rare green gems.

Emeralds ooze status the world over and are imbued with much meaning and symbolism. They have been known to impart the wearer with wit and memory; eloquence and elegance; insight and balance. Most importantly, it is said to be the stone of unconditional love, allowing the wearer to both give and receive this most rare and wonderful of earthly emotions. Due to its love boosting potential, the stone brings balance and marital bliss. The stone has also denoted status for centuries. Cleopatra had a reputation for giving emeralds as gifts and tales abound of Indian rulers who bedecked their palaces with the marvelous green mineral.

This incredible pendant boasts a truly wonderful 1.00ct antique emerald. She is flanked by two open backed diamonds and rows of swirling, sparkling Old Mine Cut diamonds totaling around 3.20ct. The border diamonds are set in silver and foil-backed, techniques that jewelers used to intensify the sparkle of their favorite colorless gems. It is rare to see something this old in such fabulous condition. As soon as we saw her, we knew we needed to breathe new life into the 19th century brooch by adding a hidden bale and helping her find her next keeper.
