Good to Have You Back
Marilyn Monroe once said, "diamonds are a girl's best friend." And, if you are a jewelry lover (or know girls), you will definitely agree. However, occasionally, if you want to stand out with statement jewelry that is elegant yet has a showstopping appeal, emerald earrings are your best go-to selection to adorn and turn heads with.
Emeralds, one of the ‘big four’ in the world of precious gemstones, the other three being diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, are highly valued for their lush color, denoting abundance and prosperity. Notably, the green represents Venus, the goddess of love, growth, fertility, rebirth, healing, and positivity. Given the stone's profound meaning, it is the traditional birthstone of May and fittingly gifted to mark the 20th, 35th, and 55th wedding anniversaries in the US. Just another reason to gift your lady love a pair of stunning emerald earrings.
For the unversed, emeralds are no new entrants in the world of luxurious jewelry. Their existence is 2.97 billion years old, and they were first mined by the ancient Egyptians in 1500 BC, almost 4000 years ago. The name is a variant of the Latin smaragdus, which is further derived from the ancient Greek smaragdus, meaning 'green gem.'
From the ancient Egyptians and Greeks to the present-day Hollywood stalwarts, there has been no decline in the fascination for this gemstone. Emeralds, called the 'Jewels of the Kings,' were highly endeared by ancient royalty, including Cleopatra, who used them in her regal attires. Cut to the 21st century, and emerald earrings are still a favorite accessory with numerous iconic personalities, such as Kate Middleton, Angelina Jolie, and Blake Lively, who have graciously worn them at various red-carpet events.
Instantly uplifting any outfit, the beauty of this luscious gemstone lies in its strength (despite a delicate appeal) and its ability to complement all metal types. While an emerald jewelry set, replete with a ravishing necklace, bracelet, and earrings, looks out-of-this-world classy, even donning a pair of luxuriant emerald earrings is a subtle way of catching attention with your superlative taste.
These 14k white gold emerald and diamond teardrop earrings effortlessly elevate your look to glamorous. They are gorgeous in their intricate design and sparkle that balances delicate and edgy, with striking diamonds and emeralds encrusted in the upper and lower half, respectively.
For their unmatched hue, emeralds are the most sought-after gemstone. Several factors make them a popular choice to include in earrings. First, emeralds are highly exclusive since they are rarer and hardest only to diamonds making them easy to take care of. Second, despite their rarity, emeralds are a more budget-friendly option, giving you more sparkle and carat for a lower price than diamonds. Third are the royal undertones of this beautiful gemstone. If it is a black-tie event or a formal gathering, do not think twice before giving your diamonds a miss for emerald earrings. Even for office meetings, or family brunches, emerald stud earrings are a stylish choice; whether worn with a satin maxi, a pantsuit, or a skirt, they are peerless in their impact.
Key factors defining the quality of this royal gemstone are its color, cut, and clarity. Natural emeralds vary in color, ranging from deep green and blueish green to pale champagne green shades. While their reserves are spread all across the Earth, Columbia contributes to 50 percent of the emeralds mined worldwide. Interestingly, natural emeralds with more inclusions and flaws are preferred, and rather than calling them imperfections, jewelers refer to them as Jardin, meaning ‘garden’ in French. Fancy-cut emeralds also enjoy wider popularity than round ones for their sharpness and scintillating brilliance.
Jewelry experts opine that emerald earrings complement every face cut and shape. Whether you are bright or warm-skinned, a minimalist or maximalist, traditional or non-conformist, there is an emerald earring style for everyone. The charismatic color of emerald brightens your aura and adds a regal warmth to your face.
