Description

14K white gold and round cut brilliant diamonds do an excellent job making the emerald cut emeralds the stars of these emerald and diamond hoops. Emerald has a long and interesting history which makes it one of our favorite gems.

  • Some estimate that the oldest emeralds are 2.97 billion years old. Others believe they were mined in Egypt as early as 330 BC.
  • Cleopatra is perhaps the most famous historical figure to cherish these magnificent green gemstones. The Egyptians used emeralds both in jewelry and in their burials.
  • In Colombia, the Muzo Indians had well-hidden and prized emerald mines. It took the Spanish conquistadors nearly twenty years to find them.
  • Today, emerald is a symbol of security, loyalty, new beginnings, and peace. It is a unmistakably gorgeous gem full of meaning and would be a lovely gift for a May birthday, or to celebrate the 20th or 35th anniversaries.
