Instead of prongs, the emerald is held by a solid wall of 14K gold. The polished rim creates a clean, smooth frame around the deep green stone, with a small diamond set just above.
A fine, 18-inch cable chain drops to a two-part pendant. At the top, a small round diamond sits inside a simple gold bezel. Directly below, it connects to a larger, emerald-cut emerald. The green stone is also bezel-set, wrapped in a substantial, highly polished gold frame that follows its rectangular shape. The entire piece has a bright, reflective finish.
This necklace is made from solid 14K gold, not plated. That's 58.3% pure gold alloyed for durability, which means it won't flake or rub off over time and is generally safe for sensitive skin. Both the emerald and the diamond are set in bezels. This means a thin lip of gold is pushed over the edge of the stone, holding it securely without any prongs that could snag on your clothes.

The bezel setting is the main reason. It's one of the most secure ways to set a stone, wrapping it in a protective collar of gold. For an emerald, which is softer than a diamond, this extra protection makes it a much more practical piece for everyday wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the man-made emerald in my Jewel Light Necklace look different from a natural one?
A man-made emerald is chemically and physically identical to a natural one. The main difference is that lab-created emeralds usually have fewer internal fractures, or inclusions. This often gives them a clearer appearance and makes them slightly more durable than many natural emeralds of the same size.
Can I wear my 14K gold emerald necklace in the shower?
It's best to take it off before showering. While the 14K solid gold can handle the water, soaps and shampoos can leave a film on the emerald that dulls its colour and shine. To keep the stone bright, it’s better to put your necklace on after you've finished your routine.
How will the 18-inch Jewel Light Necklace sit on my collarbone?
An 18-inch chain typically rests just below the collarbone on most people. This length is sometimes called a "princess" length. It's very popular because it sits well in the open neckline of a t-shirt or blouse but is also long enough to be worn over a high-necked top.
