Studs Emerald Earring 1.22 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 18K White Gold

From the heart of Colombia where emeralds form under millennia of pressure and patience, these earrings begin their story in a riverbed green with history, where miners and mother nature conspire to create gems of rare beauty. The journey of each crystal is a slow one, moving from deep geological birth through the hands of skilled cutters who reveal the inner flame of color. At The Natural Emerald Company we trace this path with reverence and rigor, selecting only those stones whose color and clarity tell a compelling tale. These particular stones arrived with a vivid color saturation that could only have been nurtured by Colombian soil, and with a transparency that invites light to pass through as if the green itself were alive. The tale from mine to market is one of selection and stewardship, a careful hand at every stage so that the story of the earth is preserved and presented with integrity.

At the center of each earring sits a transparent, round shaped green emerald, together weighing 1.22 total carat weight, with individual dimensions of 5.76 by 5.73 by 3.60 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance fire and depth. These gems are graded slightly included at eye level, which in emeralds reads as a natural fingerprint of origin rather than a flaw, and they benefit from an excellent polish and standard enhancement that reveal their vivid green without concealing their provenance. Surrounding each emerald is a ring of white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.278 carats in total, each stone chosen for its eye clean clarity of VS and near colorless grade of F and G, to act as a bright, cooling foil to the central green. The entire composition is set in lustrous 18K white gold, a metal chosen not only for its strength and sheen, but for the way it interacts with the gemstones, providing a modern and refined frame for an otherwise ancient story.

The design rests on contrast, that elemental balance between the warmth of life and the coolness of craft, between the organic origins of the emerald and the engineered brilliance of the diamonds and metal. The emeralds speak in a living, botanical language, their green carrying the weight of Colombian forests and streams, while the white gold answers in a clear, reflective voice that amplifies color and light. The surrounding diamonds perform a dual role, they brighten the silhouette of the emeralds so that the green appears purer and more saturated, and they create a halo of light that moves with the wearer, throwing micro reflections that bring the stones to life. The prong and bezel interplay of the mounting holds each emerald securely, while allowing unobstructed entry of light from the pavilion to the crown, a choice that honors the mixed brilliant cut and the stone s polish, resulting in earrings that feel both delicate and confidently constructed.

Wearing these studs is a continuation of the emeralds journey, from Colombian river to the lobe of someone who appreciates history and harmony. The scale and weight are chosen for daily elegance, suitable for quiet daytime occasions and for evenings when the green can read as a jewel toned proclamation against a simple black dress or as a whisper of nature against a crisp white shirt. The Natural Emerald Company stands behind the provenance and the craftsmanship, and we welcome questions about care and setting, as well as requests for secure packaging and consultation on matching pieces. These earrings are more than adornment, they are a preserved fragment of Earth s deep narrative, framed in white gold and enhanced by diamonds, balanced so that the gaze alternates between the stone and its setting, creating a conversation between what is born and what is made.
