They are all stunning and breathtaking, but nothing is more mysterious than the rare-earth-green of the emerald. The Smithsonian Institution is home to the fabulous emeralds ever known, and we are incredibly happy that they are in this country.
Such is the Hooker Emerald Emerald, the legend, was once part of the belt buckle of a Turkish sultan. Another brilliant example of the emerald jewelry with diamonds is the Spanish Inquisition Necklace. It is a spectacular double row of diamond shapes and finishes in a trailer form a chandelier with emeralds.
It is also a magnificent 37.8-carat emerald called Chalk Emerald, which is set with diamonds and has been in the mines of Columbia. The Mackay Emerald Necklace is also available with diamonds and is a brilliant example of how a stone like an emerald, which often contains inclusions or faults, is still a beautiful piece of gemstone jewelry.
