The emerald in this necklace isn't just set; it's held. The gold frame wraps completely around the stone, with three small beads securing it in place at the top and bottom. It's a solid, protective setting you can feel.
A heart-shaped emerald sits inside a matching gold frame. The gold bezel is thick and rounded, like it's been puffed up slightly. Three small gold spheres are part of the setting—one in the top indent and two near the bottom point. The pendant hangs from a simple, fine-link chain that passes directly through the setting, so it always sits flat.
The pendant and chain are made from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means it’s durable enough for a piece you'll wear often and it won't cause issues for most people with sensitive skin. The centre stone is a 0.47 carat heart-cut emerald. You can choose a natural stone, with its unique internal characteristics, or a lab-grown one, which offers consistent colour and clarity.

Most heart pendants hang from a separate bail. This one has the chain running right through the back of the setting, which keeps the heart perfectly centred and flat against your collarbone. You won't have to constantly adjust it or untangle the chain from a bail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Gold Embraced Heart Necklace offer both natural and man-made emeralds?
A man-made emerald gives you a consistent, deep green colour and high clarity at a more accessible price. A natural emerald has unique inclusions and variations, which some people prefer for their one-of-a-kind character. We offer both so you can choose what's most important to you.
Is it safe to shower while wearing the 14k gold Emerald Heart Necklace?
Yes, you can shower with your 14k gold necklace. Solid gold doesn't tarnish from water alone. However, we recommend taking it off to avoid soap scum buildup on the emerald and in the setting, which can dull its appearance over time. A quick rinse and dry will help.
How will the 18-inch chain on the Gold Embraced Heart Necklace fit on my neck?
An 18-inch chain is a common length that typically sits on the collarbone for most people. The pendant itself is quite small at 8mm, so it will rest neatly right at the base of the throat. For a more precise idea, you can measure a piece of string to 18 inches.
