Vedic Emerald Necklace 1.70 Ct., 18K White Gold

A single green heart floats against a circle of cold white gold, a quiet poem of light and water worn close to the throat. This necklace, set entirely in 18K white gold, cradles a transparent 1.70 carat emerald in a classic emerald cut, measuring 7.74 x 6.11 x 5.09 mm, a precise window into a Russian spring. The stone carries a clarity grade of slightly included when viewed at eye level, a testament to its natural origins, and a medium light color saturation that sings with fresh verdant tones rather than the heavy, forested depths of darker stones. The polish is excellent, so each facet breathes and returns light like glass warmed by sun, and because this gem bears no enhancement, the green you see is honest and unquiet, a color born in earth and time. At The Natural Emerald Company we set this gem in a subtle, contemporary bezel that lets the emerald float, the white gold reflecting back every whisper of green, making the necklace feel both timeless and modern, perfect for whispering vows or marking a private promise.

Compare this Russian emerald to more common finds in the market, and the differences read like lines of a sonnet. Many emeralds carry heavy fills or obvious inclusions that dim their inner fire, or they lean toward a deep bluish green that reads cool and shadowed. Others, like tsavorite or peridot, offer a bright, refreshing green but lack the cultivated elegance of an emerald cut stone that frames depth and clarity. This jewel stands apart because its transparency and medium light saturation balance clarity and color in rare proportion, producing a lively, luminous green that is neither gaudy nor mute. Where treated stones may hide flaws beneath oils and resins, this emerald arrives untreated, its slight inclusions serving as age lines rather than blemishes, proof of authenticity that many buyers crave. The emerald cut amplifies the gemology, allowing light to travel across broad planes and reveal the stone true, while the white gold setting heightens the green without competing with it. For someone who seeks an emerald that reads as both intimate and honest, radiant yet restrained, this pendant offers a singular voice, an heirloom in waiting from The Natural Emerald Company.
