Our growing selection of emerald gemstone necklaces by Jeet Palavwala, Gemvara Essentials, Jessica Behzad, and other talented designers means you can find a necklace that's exactly your style. The gem of the goddess Venus, emerald has long symbolized love and rebirth. Style icons Jacqueline Kennedy and the Duchess of Windsor wore emerald engagement rings. Gemvara's emeralds have exceptionally fine color which gives them lasting value. Even fine quality natural emeralds almost always have birthmarks or inclusions visible inside the gem. Emerald is the May birthstone and the 20th anniversary gem. All Gemvara pendants are available with your choice of chain style and length or no chain at all if that's what you prefer. The most popular chain length is 18 inches, which works with many necklines. Clean emerald gemstone necklaces with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality emerald gemstone necklaces are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Her work reveals nature's subtle aesthetic, capturing the beauty of its form, the simplicity of its design, and the vitality of its colors without embellishment. She often finds that by simplifying, she often can best reflect the essence of nature.

Known as the gem of Venus, the emerald is a symbol of love, rebirth, and even an aid to fertility. Popular among style icons Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, and the Duchess of Windsor, emeralds are as fashionable as they are glamorous. When purchasing an emerald, the most important element to consider is color. Fine emeralds have a vibrant, grass-green color. Among the rarest of gems, they are almost always found with birthmarks, known as inclusions and often called "jardin." Some imperfections are expected, but do not detract from the value of the stone (unlike most other gemstones). In fact, an emerald without flaws would not look natural to a connoisseur. The fissures that are characteristic of the emerald are traditionally filled with oil or resin as to not diminish the gem's brilliance. Gemvara sells only natural, vivid green emeralds in exceptional quality from Colombia. Emerald is May's birthstone and the 20th and 35th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality emerald will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine emerald jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
