White Gold Emerald Necklaces

18k white gold naturally enhances the intense green color of emerald, creating a luminous, modern contrast. This pairing highlights the purity of the stone while offering timeless elegance. The rhodium plating on white gold reflects light and accentuates the natural brilliance of the emerald, creating a remarkable depth effect.

Emerald symbolizes hope, renewal, and wisdom since ancient times. As the birthstone for May, it is associated with fertility and eternal love. An emerald and white gold necklace represents a meaningful gift, perfect for celebrating a birth, an anniversary, or a new beginning.

Emerald quality is judged by four criteria: color (from soft green to intense green), transparency, cut, and origin. At Mayuri, we select only AAA-grade emeralds from Zambia, renowned for their deep green and exceptional clarity. Natural inclusions, called a "garden," attest to the stone's authenticity.

Yes, emerald with a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale is suitable for daily wear with a few precautions. Avoid direct impact and chemicals that could affect its brilliance. 18k white gold offers excellent durability and protects the setting. For intense physical activities, we recommend removing your necklace.

Colombian emeralds are famous for their pure, slightly bluish green, while Zambian emeralds display an intense green with warmer undertones. Mayuri works primarily with Zambian emeralds, recognized for their excellent transparency and exceptional value. We can source Colombian or Brazilian emeralds upon request for bespoke creations.
