Your stone. Your cut. The necklace you'll wear every day for the rest of your life.
The Emerald-Cut Birthstone Necklace features a 5x3mm gemstone — your birthstone or the birthstone of someone you love — set in EG Jewelry's signature emerald cut on a fine 18" cable chain. The cut was chosen deliberately: where a round stone dazzles with sparkle, an emerald cut reveals depth and color, letting the stone speak rather than perform. It's a more intimate kind of beautiful.
Available in all 12 birthstones, in recycled 14K yellow, white, or rose gold, or sterling silver. Handmade in the USA. Arrives gift-ready.
Why You'll Love It
- The emerald cut shows your birthstone's color at its best — rich, deep, and distinctly yours
- Delicate enough to layer with other pieces; distinctive enough to wear alone
- All 12 birthstones available — this is the one necklace you can give to anyone for any birth month
- Four metal options mean you can match your existing collection or mix with intention
- Ethically sourced stones across the board — several birthstones (alexandrite, emerald, ruby, sapphire) are lab-grown for added sustainability
- Made to order in the USA — a piece crafted specifically for the person you're buying it for
The Full Story
A birthstone necklace should feel like it was made for you. Most don't — they're generic, the stone too small to read, the chain too short or too long, the metal undecided. This one is different.
The 5x3mm emerald-cut pendant was sized to have presence on the chain without overwhelming it. It's visible. It reads from across the room as a real stone, not a suggestion of one. The emerald cut — with its rectangular shape and step-cut faceting — creates a window into the stone rather than a fireworks display above it. For birthstones, which are chosen for meaning as much as beauty, this feels right.
The full collection covers every birth month, with materials chosen thoughtfully for each stone. Several of the most prized birthstones — emerald, ruby, sapphire, alexandrite — are available in lab-grown versions, which offer superior color consistency and eliminate the ethical concerns around mining these particular gems. All other stones are ethically sourced natural gems.
Four metal options let you build toward a necklace that integrates with what you already wear. Yellow gold is warm and timeless. White gold is clean and contemporary. Rose gold sits in a pink-warm middle ground that flatters most skin tones. Sterling silver is the most accessible and the most versatile.
Made to order in the USA. Each necklace is crafted for the specific stone and metal you choose, which is why it takes 1–2 weeks to ship. That timeline is part of the story — this is not a warehouse piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between lab-grown and natural stones in this collection?
Most birthstones in this collection are natural and ethically mined. Alexandrite, emerald, ruby, and sapphire are offered as lab-grown — because these particular gems have the most complex mining supply chains, and lab-grown versions offer equal beauty with greater peace of mind.
How long does it take to ship?
Made to order — typically 1–2 weeks. If you need it for a specific date, reach out before ordering and we'll confirm whether we can meet your timeline.
Can I layer this with other necklaces?
Yes — the 18" chain sits at a mid-chest length that layers beautifully with chokers at 14–16" or longer pendant necklaces at 20"+.
What metal should I choose?
It depends on your collection and your stone. Yellow gold warms up cooler-toned stones like aquamarine or zircon. White gold and silver let the stone's color read more purely. Rose gold pairs beautifully with pink-toned stones like tourmaline and garnet.
Is it returnable?
Non-custom orders are returnable within 10 days of delivery. If you've requested a specific customization, that piece is final sale.
