9.71 Ct. Emerald Tennis/Riviere Necklace, 14K Yellow Gold

This necklace is composed of 131 green round mixed brilliant cut emeralds, weighing a total of 9.71 carats, each stone individually set in 14K yellow gold. The strand measures 16.5 inches in length, designed to rest at the neckline, and presents a consistent visual rhythm through uniform stone sizing and precise spacing. The emeralds carry a clarity grade described as very slightly included, and a color saturation graded as medium, attributes that yield a balanced green tone with modest internal character when viewed under standard lighting. The mixed brilliant cuts contribute to overall light return and scintillation across the length of the necklace, and the calculated average weight per stone is approximately 0.074 carat, which supports a refined and continuous appearance rather than isolated focal elements. The metalwork is executed to accommodate each round stone in a low profile setting, which emphasizes the continuous green line and secures each gem for daily wear.

The Natural Emerald Company sources materials for this piece according to documented responsible practices, with emphasis on traceability, minimal environmental impact, and community engagement. Emeralds are procured through vetted supply chains that prioritize artisanal and small scale operations that implement erosion control, progressive rehabilitation, and responsible water management, and where feasible the company prefers suppliers who avoid the use of harmful chemicals in processing. Metal components are acquired from suppliers that adhere to conflict free principles and where available include responsibly recycled gold to reduce new extraction. Supplier relationships are maintained through third party audits, documented chain of custody practices, and community development agreements that support fair labor standards and local economies. Detailed sourcing documentation and verification practices are available upon request to support transparency and to align the physical qualities of the necklace with verifiable environmental and social stewardship.
