About these Earrings

An appraisal is a document stating the approximate retail replacement value of an item. It is calculated using current market data, which reflects typical retail prices. The appraisal includes the cut, color, clarity, and either carat weight for diamonds or millimeter dimensions for gemstones, and the craftsmanship of the item. Your appraisal ensures that in the case of loss, theft, or damage your insurance company will give you an equal replacement of your item. The more information contained in the appraisal, the better chance you have of receiving the exact replacement for that item. Your insurance agency can rely on this appraisal to calculate a coverage rate for your diamond or piece of fine jewelry.

Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Emerald Pendants

How do I choose a quality emerald for pendants?

Selecting Quality Emerald

Color is the most important factor—look for vivid, saturated green. Inclusions are expected and even accepted as part of emerald's character (called "jardin"). Transparency and color saturation matter more than perfect clarity.

  • Color: Emeralds range from yellowish-green to bluish-green, with pure green being most prized. The best emeralds show vivid, saturated color. Colombian emeralds are known for their warm green, while Zambian stones tend toward a cooler bluish-green.
  • Hardness: 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale
  • Birthstone: May
What emerald pendant styles are most popular?

Popular Emerald Pendant Designs

A emerald pendant showcases the stone's green color right at the center of attention. Solitaire pendants keep things simple and elegant. Halo designs surround the stone with diamonds for extra sparkle. Bezel settings offer a sleek, contemporary look while protecting the gemstone.

  • Solitaire: Single stone, timeless elegance
  • Halo: Diamond surround amplifies size and sparkle
  • Bezel: Modern frame, excellent stone protection
  • Drop: Elongated design creates a flattering line
  • Heart: Romantic shape, meaningful gift choice
What chain length works best with a emerald pendant?

Choosing the Right Chain

Chain length determines where your emerald pendant sits and how it looks with different necklines. A 16-18 inch chain places the pendant at the collarbone for a classic look. Longer chains of 20-24 inches create a more relaxed style and work well for layering.

  • 16 inches: Sits at the collarbone, choker-style
  • 18 inches: Most popular, works with most necklines
  • 20 inches: Falls below the collarbone, relaxed look
  • 24 inches: Lower placement, great for layering
How do I care for my emerald pendants?

Care and Maintenance

Emeralds require more careful handling than many gemstones. Most contain natural inclusions and are oil-treated to enhance clarity. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners. Clean gently with warm soapy water only. Remove before physical activities.

  • Clean regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush
  • Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches
  • Remove before swimming, exercising, or using chemicals
  • Have settings checked by a jeweler periodically
  • Avoid exposing to extreme temperature changes

Buyer's Guide

Diamond Pendants Buying Guide

A diamond pendant sits at the center of your neckline, making it one of the most noticed pieces you'll wear. Getting it right means understanding size, setting, and chain pairing. Here's your guide.

Choosing the Right Size

Pendant size should work with your frame and neckline choices:

0.25-0.50 carats: Delicate and subtle. Works with high necklines and layering.

0.50-1 carat: The versatile range. Noticeable without overwhelming.

1-2 carats: Significant presence. Best with lower necklines that give the pendant room.

2+ carats: Statement pieces. Special occasions or bold personal style.

Consider your height and build. What looks proportionate on a petite person might look small on someone taller.

Popular Diamond Shapes

Round brilliant: Maximum sparkle, classic choice. Works with everything.

Princess: Square shape with lots of fire. Modern, geometric.

Pear: Teardrop shape elongates the neckline. Elegant and distinctive.

Oval: Similar sparkle to round, looks larger for the same carat weight.

Heart: Romantic statement. Quality matters—poorly cut hearts look off.

Marquise: Football shape, very distinctive. Vintage appeal.

Bail Types

The bail connects the pendant to the chain:

Fixed bail: Permanently attached to the pendant. Simple, secure, pendant faces forward.

Hidden bail: Bail connects behind the pendant, invisible from front. Clean look.

Diamond bail: Bail set with small diamonds. Extra sparkle, elevated look.

Swivel bail: Allows pendant to turn. Can prevent chain twisting but may not always face forward.

Make sure the bail opening fits your chain. Some bails only work with thin chains.

Chain Pairing

The chain matters more than most people realize:

Length: 16" sits at the collarbone (choker length). 18" is the most versatile. 20-24" falls lower on the chest.

Style: Cable chains are classic. Box chains are sleek and strong. Wheat chains have a woven look.

Thickness: Match chain thickness to pendant weight. Heavy pendants need thicker chains.

Metal: Match your pendant metal or intentionally mix. Platinum chains are strongest but heaviest.

Quality Considerations

For pendants, prioritize in this order:

1. Cut: A well-cut diamond catches light beautifully at center chest, where everyone looks.

2. Color: G-H looks white and saves money. For white metal settings, don't go below I.

3. Clarity: VS2-SI1 is ideal. The pendant is close enough to see, but tiny inclusions still disappear.

4. Carat: Get the best quality you can afford in your target size range.
