1.12 Ct.Tw. Emerald Natural Diamond Pave Earrings, 14K White Gold

These hoop earrings begin their story deep beneath the earth, where ancient veins of green crystallize over millions of years into emerald, and where carbon transforms under pressure into diamond. Our design brings together these two elemental treasures, hand selected for color and clarity, and set into a cool 14K white gold that was melted, drawn, and finished by skilled artisans. The emeralds used in these hoops glow with a fresh, verdant intensity that calls to mind rainforest canopies and river stones polished by time, their round brilliant faceting chosen to catch and hold light rather than to mask the natural character that makes each gem unique. Many of these emeralds carry tiny internal gardens known as jardin, subtle inclusions that record the stone’s geological journey and give each gem a fingerprint of origin. Between each emerald, bright white diamonds or diamond-like accents are placed to amplify contrast, their high refractive index and scintillation making the greens sing, while the white gold provides a reflective, contemporary backdrop that keeps the composition luminous and refined.

From rough to refined, every step honors the stones’ natural stories and physical properties. The emeralds, prized for their saturated chroma and gentle softness compared to other gemstones, are cut and calibrated so their color appears consistent around the hoop, and are seated securely to protect delicate edges while allowing light to enter and refract. Diamonds provide structural brilliance, their unparalleled hardness offering durability and a sparkling companion to the emeralds’ deep hue. The 14K white gold is finished with a bright polish, often rhodium plated, to enhance whiteness and resist wear, creating a long lasting frame that complements both stones. These hoops wear with an easy confidence, the green stones shifting from forest deep to spring fresh as they catch daylight, and the diamonds flashing like quicksilver. Caring for them is simple, gentle cleaning and careful storage will preserve the emeralds’ inner gardens and the diamonds’ fire, so the earrings remain an heirloom that narrates the meeting of geology, human craft, and timeless style.
