FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Lab-created emeralds are chemically and optically identical to mined emeralds, composed of the same beryl mineral with chromium and vanadium inclusions that produce the characteristic green color. The difference is origin and production method, not chemical composition or visual appearance.
Natural emeralds are almost always heavily included and oiled to mask fractures, which can make them fragile for daily wear. Lab-created emeralds offer significantly better clarity and color consistency at a fraction of the cost, making them a practical and visually superior choice for an everyday necklace.
Emerald is the birthstone for May. It is also associated with the Taurus and Gemini zodiac signs. Historically it has been considered one of the four precious gemstones alongside diamond, ruby, and sapphire, and was prized by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.
Yes. The lab-created stone used here offers better clarity and hardness consistency than most natural emeralds, and the bezel setting protects the stone's edges with a continuous rim of metal. Remove before swimming in chlorinated water or exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals.
Yellow gold is the most classic pairing with emerald, a combination with ancient roots in fine jewelry history. White gold and sterling silver create a cooler contrast that makes the green appear more vivid. Rose gold adds warmth and a modern, romantic quality to the pairing.
Each piece is handcrafted to order in our Steamboat Springs, Colorado studio. Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for production. In-stock pieces ordered by 1:00 pm Mountain time ship the same day. US orders over $150 include free standard shipping.
More Details
Of all the colors a stone can be, emerald green is perhaps the most loaded with history. It is the color of Cleopatra's personal collection, of royal regalia, of a particular kind of luxury that reads as both ancient and completely modern. In a 3mm bezel pendant on a delicate cable chain, it becomes something more wearable than any of that, a daily talisman that happens to be one of the most beautiful stones in the world.
This lab-created emerald delivers the vivid, saturated color of the finest natural stones without the inclusions and fractures that make mined emeralds fragile for everyday wear. Whether you are celebrating May, marking something important, or simply want a piece that means something, this necklace is made to order in your choice of 14K gold or sterling silver.
The Bezel Setting, Explained
Emerald is one of the four precious gemstones, alongside diamond, ruby, and sapphire, and it has been valued since antiquity for its vivid living green. Lab-created emeralds are grown through a process that replicates the conditions under which natural emeralds form, producing stones that are chemically and optically identical to mined stones but with greater clarity and more consistent color saturation. For a 3mm stone worn daily, this matters in a practical sense as well as an aesthetic one.
The bezel setting is particularly well-suited to emerald, which can be more delicate at the edges than harder stones. The continuous metal rim holds the stone securely on all sides, protecting the girdle from everyday contact. It is the most protective setting style available, and it gives the pendant a clean, modern character that works across every context from desk to dinner.
