Description
The velvety green natural emerald in this pendant feels regal to me. The absence of heavy inclusions, the exceptional green color, and precise faceting combine to make this a magnificent emerald. The leafy green flashes of color when sunlight hits this pendant…wow! Nestled in 18-karat white gold and highlighted by 1/4 carat of dazzling diamonds, this emerald pendant is worthy of Cleopatra herself.
