Emerald earrings in 18k gold

Earrings crafted in 18k gold with A+ quality emeralds from Africa, faceted in 4 x 3 mm pieces. Their intense, characteristic green color contrasts beautifully with the yellow gold, creating a delicate and elegant combination. They fasten with a post and butterfly clasp.

The green color comes from a mixture of other minerals, including chromium, vanadium, and iron, which gives it a bluish tint. In natural light, the true essence of emeralds is easier to discern, while artificial light can expose internal fractures in the stone caused by the glare. In ancient European and Indian cultures, the emerald was associated with Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the god of journeys, sleep, and dreams, and was therefore considered the stone of divine inspiration.
