0.26 ct Emerald Cut Emerald & Diamond Drop Necklace in 14k Yellow Gold | Diamond Tales

14k Yellow Gold Drop Necklace. Emerald Cut Natural Emerald, 0.26 carats. Bezel-set diamond accents with pear-shaped diamond drop.

The emerald cut was designed for emeralds — that is not a coincidence, it is the origin of the name. Its long, open facets and stepped pavilion protect a brittle stone at the corners while showing the color as a clear pool rather than as scattered flashes. On a 0.26 carat stone, that means you see green, uninterrupted.

Bezel-set diamonds punctuate the 14k yellow gold chain, and the drop finishes in a pear-shaped diamond that swings slightly as you move. That movement is what makes a drop necklace feel alive at the collarbone instead of static.

Emerald is beryl, colored by chromium, and its inclusions — the jardin — are the proof of natural origin, not a defect. Clean it with warm soapy water and keep it out of ultrasonics.

Diamond Tales curates fine jewelry meant to last a lifetime and carry a story.
