Gold Emerald Gemstone Jewelry
Emerald Jewelry Set in Gold
Emeralds have long been sought after by royalty and people in power. They have been used in crown jewels and engagement gifts over the centuries, and gold evokes the same high-powered, lasting symbol of style and commitment. Emerald stones are only green and easily recognizable as a purchase made with a taste for a loved one when set in gold.
Meaning of Emerald
Emeralds have long been a symbol of honesty where some cultures believed them to help reveal truth from lie. Still other fables held if you placed it on your tongue or the left side, you could foretell the future. They were also used to bring about eloquent speech and more intelligence and some believed that looking through an emerald could bring calm and clarity to a situation.
In other cultures, emeralds were given to express love and devotion to another person—often to brides or young women. They are found throughout the world in royal collections, mainly in the tiaras and ensembles worn by the princesses and queens. Even today, we see great emerald stones presented in beautiful engagement and anniversary jewelry to a beloved partner.
Why Choose Gold For Emerald Jewelry
Gold settings turn the emerald jewelry into a work of art. With the ability to create statement pieces containing a larger stone, the gold can be fashioned into a setting worthy of the rare beauty it holds.
The naturally occurring complement of gold and green easily catches the eye and elevates the rich color of the emerald. This especially happens with the deeper green and blue-green stones. Gold also highlights the importance of the occasion in which jewelry was given since it is traditionally used to symbolize commitment and fidelity.
