Trillion Emerald & Diamond Pendant Necklace – 14k White Gold

14k white gold · 1 trillion-cut emerald, 0.45 ct · 1 diamond, 0.04 ct · 18" chain, adjustable to 16" and 14"

A trillion is a triangular cut, and it is a smart choice for emerald. Trillions are cut relatively shallow, so they face up larger than their weight suggests, and the open shape gives the green plenty of room to show. A 0.45-carat trillion wears with more presence than a round of the same weight.

One diamond, 0.04 carats, accents the emerald, and white gold keeps the green crisp rather than warming it. The chain adjusts from 18 to 16 to 14 inches, so it can sit close at the collarbone or lower over an open neckline.

Most emeralds are oiled to improve clarity; it is standard practice in the trade. To keep it that way, skip ultrasonic cleaners and clean gently with mild soapy water.
