EMERALDS IN THE RAW NECKLACE

Sometimes you want to toss polish and refinement out the window and go all natural. Radiant deep green emeralds have been one of the three most precious gemstones ever since they were found in Cleopatra’s mines and adorned the Egyptian pharaohs 3,000 years ago. But with today’s more casual fashions, designers have embraced the natural uncut look. Now you can wear 320 carats of genuine emeralds and feel smug knowing you possess precious gems without handing over precious millions! Throughout the world, emeralds have been at the centre of great wars, great romances, and great fortunes. From the Incas in South America to monarchs of Europe, lovers of rare beauty have been captured by the stone’s rich colour and radiance. This is the first time that joining the rarified world of emerald enthusiasts—with a calling card of a staggering 320 carats!—has been this affordable for the rest of us. The necklace measure 16” plus a 2” extender with lobster clasp. The bracelet is 7” plus 1” extender. The earrings hang from a French wire.

*Raw gemstones vary naturally in colour, shape and matrix patterning, making each item of jewellery a one-of-a-kind piece.
