0.67 Ct.Tw. Emerald Natural Diamond Hoops Earrings, 14K Yellow Gold

These earrings are executed in fully hallmarked 14K yellow gold, the warm alloy chosen to complement the chromatic intensity of emeralds and the fire of white diamonds, the design language emphasizing measured geometry and optical contrast. The visible face of each hoop is composed of a continuous alternating sequence of round, faceted emeralds and round brilliant white diamonds, hand calibrated for parity in diameter and profile, the resulting checkerboard-like rhythm producing even scintillation across the arc. The stones are set in a low-profile micro pavé configuration, each gem secured with shared bead prongs that are milled and finished to submillimeter tolerances, the setting geometry minimizing metal obstruction to maximize face-up color in the emeralds, while allowing the diamonds to project ideal brilliance. The hoop itself is engineered with a precision hinge, the barrel and saddle components laser welded and hand finished to maintain a seamless outer contour, the inner surface polished to a mirror finish for comfort against the lobe, the overall proportion conceived to sit close to the ear as a refined huggie, yet large enough to read the alternating color pattern at conversational distance.

From a gemological perspective the emeralds were selected for medium to vivid green saturation, the hue range favoring slightly bluish green over yellowish tones, a direction chosen to achieve maximum visual harmony with yellow gold. Each emerald is cut as a round to the cutter s planning parameters, a mixed faceting schema that increases color return in smaller sizes while retaining sufficient facet junctions to disperse light and reduce the perception of internal texture. The diamonds are round brilliant cuts, graded for cut quality that prioritizes total brightness and scintillation, and carefully matched for near colorless appearance so they act as a high contrast element next to the green. During the sourcing and setting process the timepiece like tolerances were observed, color and clarity proxies were matched across pairs to ensure that no single stone distracts from the ensemble, and microscopic inspection provided consistent girdle thickness and seat depth so that each shared prong carries uniform mechanical load. The artisan setters employed a combination of traditional hand setting and modern magnified tooling, each prong burnished and micro-polished to eliminate burrs, the stone seats painted and checked before final closing, ensuring stones are secure yet sit flush with the metal plane, an approach that reduces snagging risk and preserves optical interaction with ambient light.

Sustainability and traceability are integral to the sourcing and production workflow, the 14K yellow gold alloy used in these earrings being reclaimed and recycled material, refined to meet responsible sourcing benchmarks and finished in a manner that reduces new mining impact. The diamonds are procured through suppliers who adhere to industry best practices, including chain of custody documentation and compliance with the international measures designed to prevent conflict diamonds, the selection process favoring parcels with traceable origin and positive social audit histories. The emeralds are acquired from supply chains that emphasize environmental rehabilitation, artisanal miner engagement, and transparency in treatment disclosure, the lot selection process rejecting material from operations that do not meet agreed thresholds for worker safety and land stewardship. For the technically minded buyer there is an emphasis on measurable provenance and minimal new extraction, the manufacturing process using energy efficient finishing equipment, non toxic cleaning protocols, and packaging that is recycled and recyclable. If you would like additional information about specific gem reports, origin documentation, or details about the recycled gold certification and supplier audits, I can provide the full technical dossiers and high magnification images, and advise on routine maintenance, safe storage, and professional reproofing intervals to ensure these earrings retain their mechanical integrity and optical performance for decades.
