Sterling Silver Emerald Jewelry

Emerald Gemstones Set in Sterling Silver

Emeralds range from yellow-green to green to blue-green from the infusion of chromium and vanadium into the beryl during the formation process. The more the infusion, the deeper the color. They are part of the four precious stones — emeralds, diamonds, rubies, and sapphires — but are often rarer and more expensive than diamonds. Also, during the crystallization period, other gasses, minerals, and liquids are taken in creating patterns known in the gemstone world as "jardin" for the French word "garden." Jardin is a desirable feature and is unique to each emerald.

Why Choose Sterling Silver for Emerald Jewelry

Sterling silver brings out the jardin in each emerald. The silver tones take a backseat to the beauty of each stone. Emeralds are less dense than diamonds, and therefore a larger stone of equal carat weight can be purchased and set in silver. Emeralds sometimes symbolize new life and a sterling silver ring or pendant is the perfect gift for someone who is starting a new chapter in life.
