Some stones need no introduction.
Emerald is one of them.
This necklace features a 5x3mm lab-grown emerald in the emerald cut — May's birthstone, set in its namesake silhouette — on a fine 18" cable chain in recycled 14K gold or sterling silver. The cut was chosen for what it does to the stone: long, step-cut facets create a window into the emerald's color rather than performing on its surface. Rich, grounded, luminous.
Handmade in the USA. Arrives gift-ready. The kind of piece that becomes part of the daily ritual.
Why You'll Love It
- The emerald cut shows the stone's color at its deepest and most honest — a direct line to what makes emerald extraordinary
- Lab-grown emerald delivers the same vivid green as mined, with greater clarity and no mining footprint
- Four metal options — yellow, white, rose gold, or sterling silver — let you match or contrast with your existing stack
- Delicate enough to layer, distinctive enough to wear alone
- A meaningful May birthday gift, a self-purchase for a milestone, or a talisman of renewal and love
- Handcrafted in the USA from recycled metals, ships in eco-friendly gift packaging with polishing cloth
The Full Story
The word "emerald" comes from the Greek "smaragdos" — green gem. Before there were precise gemological categories, there was just that: vivid, living green. Emerald has been associated with growth, love, and clarity of vision for as long as humans have been wearing jewelry.
Setting this stone in its namesake cut is a quiet piece of symmetry that jewelry people will recognize immediately. The emerald cut — step-cut facets running in long parallel planes — was actually developed for emeralds specifically, because the step cut was gentler on the natural cleavage planes of the stone. It's a cut designed around the stone's character, and it shows the color better than any other.
The 5x3mm size was chosen because it has presence on the chain without overwhelming it. This is a pendant you notice — the emerald-cut stone is visible and legible from across the room — but it wears as part of your everyday look rather than a statement you have to dress around.
Lab-grown emerald for consistency of color and sustainability of source. Four metals for flexibility. Made by hand in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real emerald?
Yes — lab-grown emerald is chemically identical to mined emerald. The difference is origin, not quality. Lab-grown means more consistent color and greater clarity than many natural stones at this price point.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes. The bezel and prong settings used protect the stone from the sides, and emerald holds up well to normal daily wear. We recommend removing fine jewelry during high-impact activity.
How long until it ships?
Each piece is made for you. Please allow 10 business days unless your item is already in stock.
Is it returnable?
Non-custom orders are returnable within 10 days of delivery.
