Emerald pendant in 18k gold

Handcrafted pendant in 1.3 grams of 18K gold with a 10 x 8 mm, 1.9 carat A+ quality African emerald. This beautiful pendant highlights the emerald's beauty, mounted on a double gallery and secured with prongs, allowing light to enter and enhancing its beautiful characteristic tone.

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.
