The story of the design
This Zambian emerald pendant is centered on an emerald-cut stone with a rich green color and clean, structured shape. The step-cut facets give the emerald a more controlled, glass-like reflection, creating a defined focal point with strong presence.
A halo of moissanite surrounds the center, forming a bright, even outline that sharpens the shape and adds contrast. The design extends upward into a tapered bail set with additional moissanite, creating a continuous line of sparkle that connects the pendant smoothly to the chain.
The combination of the emerald-cut center and the structured halo gives the piece a clean, geometric look, while the added detail in the bail provides balance and a finished appearance when worn.
Finished in rhodium over sterling silver, the setting has a bright, polished tone that enhances the green of the emerald and keeps the moissanite crisp and reflective.
The result is a pendant built around structure and contrast, combining a bold center stone with a clean halo and extended top detail.
Please note: Emeralds are classified as Type III gemstones, meaning natural inclusions—often called “jardin” (French for “garden”)—are common and expected. These internal features are part of what makes each emerald unique and are embraced as a hallmark of authenticity. Most fine emeralds, including ours, are gently oiled to enhance clarity and preserve beauty—an industry-standard, time-honored practice.
