Emerald & Diamond Tennis Necklace in 14k White Gold | 13.84 ct | Diamond Tales

14k White Gold Tennis Necklace. Natural Emeralds, 7.49 carats total, 33 stones. Natural Diamonds, 6.35 carats total, 35 stones. 13.84 carats total weight. Crown prong setting. Length 17", adjustable to 16". Chain included.

An emerald and diamond tennis necklace at this carat weight is among the most significant pieces in fine jewelry — the kind purchased once and worn for a lifetime. Thirty-three natural emeralds at 7.49 carats alternate with thirty-five natural diamonds at 6.35 carats across a 14k white gold setting that uses crown prongs — the highest of the standard setting styles, chosen here because it maximizes the light entering each stone from above and below simultaneously.

Emerald in a tennis format demands matched color across every stone in the line. Color consistency in emeralds is one of the most technically demanding sourcing challenges in fine gemstones — emerald color varies not just in hue but in tone and saturation from stone to stone within the same mine, let alone across sources. A matched set of 33 is a serious achievement.

At 13.84 total carats in a piece that can be worn at 16" or 17", this necklace transitions from a formal event piece to an elevated dinner necklace depending on the length and what it is worn against.

Diamond Tales presents pieces at this level for clients who approach fine jewelry the way others approach art — as something to be chosen carefully, owned with intention, and kept for generations.
