For the Little Story

Emeralds are gemstones from the beryl family, known for their deep, intense green colour. They are mainly composed of aluminium silicate and beryllium, with traces of chromium, vanadium and iron, giving them their characteristic green hue. On the Mohs scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, emeralds fall between 7.5 and 8, making them relatively hard but not as hard as stones such as diamonds. Emeralds have a long history of appreciation and demand in royal and imperial jewelry. They have been associated with prosperity, fertility and rebirth, as well as qualities such as wisdom, clarity of mind and creativity. Because of their vibrant colour and beauty, emeralds are widely used in jewellery to create rings, necklaces, earrings and other precious pieces. However, due to their relative softness, they can be sensitive to knocks and scratches, requiring careful handling and maintenance.

Jewellers' words

To create the illusion of a triangular silhouette for the pendant, although the emerald is cut as a round brilliant, we have positioned two claws three-quarters of a turn around the gem, while the third is fixed at noon. A delicate bail, meanwhile, is meticulously positioned above this third claw, ensuring a balanced wear for the pendant.
