Timeless Treasures / Belle Époque & Edwardian / Pear Emerald Pendant
Antique
Pear Emerald Pendant
Pendant · Pear-Cut Emerald · High-Carat Gold
A pear-cut emerald of real presence, set in high-carat gold claw prongs and hung on a simple loop bail — the stone entirely without ornamental distraction. The jardin is visible and beautiful, the setting deliberately plain so nothing competes with the green.
A stone pendant in the oldest tradition: one gem, held up to the light. The pear cut draws attention to the natural depth of the stone, and the simplicity of the gold mount respects that. This is a jewel for someone who understands that the stone is everything.
On the Stone
The jardin — the natural inclusions visible within the emerald — is part of its character rather than a flaw. In antique emerald jewellery, an eye-visible jardin is expected and accepted as evidence of the stone's natural origin.
