Spectra Fine Jewelry Emerald Diamond Halo Drop Earrings

The emerald, often referred to as the "Jewel of Kings," has captivated the hearts of illustrious figures throughout history. From the mesmerizing Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, to the regal Queen Elizabeth II of England, and even Hollywood icons like Elizabeth Taylor, Marlene Dietrich, and Angelina Jolie, this gem has been cherished by royalty and celebrities alike. In particular, Angelina Jolie's iconic appearance at the 2009 Academy Awards, bedecked in pear-shaped emerald drop earrings, marked a pivotal moment in the gem's enduring legacy.

Emeralds, with their deep and iridescent green hue, have held a revered position across cultures since ancient times, and this reverence endures today. Step into a world of timeless elegance with the Emerald Diamond Halo Convertible Drop Earrings, created in the 21st century, around the 2010s, by Spectra Fine Jewelry. These exquisite earrings, crafted in resplendent platinum and 18K yellow gold, feature two pear-shaped emeralds with an estimated total weight of approximately 10.71 carats, suspended elegantly from two emerald-cut emeralds with an estimated total weight of around 4.61 carats. While these emeralds are not certified, they are believed to be of Colombian origin.

Colombian emeralds are often considered the pinnacle of emerald quality, with a storied history dating back to the 16th century. Shrouded in myth and mystique, they possess a warmer and more intensely pure green color, devoid of any bluish undertones. While emeralds are also unearthed in countries like Zambia, Brazil, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Madagascar, and Zimbabwe, each locale imparts unique characteristics to the gemstone. Emerald, a variety of beryl, takes on its green to bluish-green shades due to the presence of trace elements, including chromium, vanadium, and iron.

These remarkable gemstones exhibit an extraordinary depth of color, encircled by scintillating halos of brilliant diamonds. The pear-shaped emeralds, suspended by platinum settings with delicate talon prongs, are framed by graceful pavé diamond halos. The design of the pear shape allows an abundance of light to interact with the emeralds, showcasing their size, color, and a subtle sparkle. Remarkably, the pear-shaped emeralds are detachable, offering two distinct looks. The emerald-cut emeralds, set in 18K yellow gold from the rear and securely held by platinum talon prongs in the front, can be worn separately as button earrings. These geometric treasures are encircled by octagonal halos comprised of larger round diamonds, framed by an octagonal beveled border in platinum. The earrings are designed for pierced ears, equipped with posts and French clips for ease of wear.

The ensemble features two pear-shaped emeralds with an estimated total weight of around 10.71 carats, two emerald-cut emeralds with an estimated total weight of approximately 4.61 carats, all believed to be of Colombian origin. They are surrounded by a shimmering array of white pavé round brilliant diamonds with an approximate total weight of 1.70 carats. The earrings, with an overall weight of approximately 18.70 grams, exude a timeless elegance, measuring 1.25 inches in length. Crafted in platinum and originating from the 2010s, they are a testament to the enduring allure of emeralds, a gemstone that has enchanted the world for centuries.
