Feeling stressed? Worn down? Weary? If you were a gem-cutter in ancient Rome, you might turn your gaze on an emerald to soothe your spirit. The author Pliny the Elder wrote that these early lapidaries had “no better method of restoring their eyes than by looking at the emerald, its soft, green color comforting and removing their weariness.”
The only not-so-calming aspect of emeralds? The prices some sellers charge! Because emeralds are notoriously difficult to cut, it’s not unusual to see emerald jewelry listed for thousands, or even tens of thousands, of dollars. Those prices have helped make emeralds a status symbol among celebrities in recent years, with A-listers going all-in on the vintage vibe of emerald-cut emeralds from big-name designers.
The good news is you don’t need a celebrity’s salary to look like one. Our Halcyon Gaze Earrings give you emerald color in an emerald cut, without the emerald price. That’s because we’ve taken the timeless, high-fashion look of long, faceted emeralds and rendered it in DiamondAura®. Optically clearer and with more fire than a “D” flawless diamond, DiamondAura® is a gamechanger in the gem world, making opulent designs attainable at a fraction of the price.
Here we’ve framed large emerald cuts of green DiamondAura® with sparkling white stones in yellow gold-finished settings for an elegant effect that’s as soothing to the eye as it is to the pocketbook. So you can gaze on this green and relax, knowing you’re getting a luxury look for less.
