Rose Gold Emerald Necklaces

Since ancient times, emerald has symbolized hope, renewal, and wisdom, while rose gold evokes tenderness and romance. Worn close to the heart, this pairing creates a meaningful piece, ideal for celebrating lasting love or marking a fresh start. Emerald is also the May birthstone, deepening its sentimental value for those born in this month.

An authentic natural emerald displays visible inclusions called "jardin," considered its gemological signature. At Mayuri, each rose gold emerald necklace comes with a certificate of authenticity detailing the origin and characteristics of the stone. Synthetic or chemically treated emeralds are excluded from our collections. We offer only AAA-quality natural emeralds, traditionally oiled according to ancestral fine jewelry practices.

With a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, emerald resists everyday scratches well. However, its natural crystalline structure makes it sensitive to thermal and mechanical shocks. For a rose gold emerald necklace worn regularly, choose a protective setting such as bezel or halo, and remove your jewelry during intense physical activities or manual work.

Absolutely. Mixing metals is a major trend in contemporary jewelry. Rose gold harmonizes beautifully with yellow gold for a warm effect, or with white gold for a modern contrast. For successful layering, stack your rose gold emerald necklace with fine chains of varying lengths, mixing metals while keeping the emerald as the central stone to unify the look.

For a delicate rose gold emerald pendant suitable for daily wear, choose a stone between 0.3 and 0.8 carats for subtle elegance. Emeralds from 1 to 3 carats create a bolder effect, perfect for special occasions. Beyond 3 carats, you enter the realm of high jewelry statement pieces. At Mayuri, we guide your choice according to your body type and style preferences.

The emerald and rose gold pairing naturally evokes the elegance of the 1920s and 1930s, the golden era of Art Deco when rose gold reached its peak. To recreate this style, look for rose gold emerald necklaces with geometric settings, clean lines, or a halo of small diamonds. Mayuri creations draw from this heritage while offering contemporary interpretations adapted to current trends in layering and minimalism.

Zambian emeralds, which Mayuri favors for its rose gold necklaces, display a deep green color with a slight blue tint, highly valued by connoisseurs. Less included than their Colombian counterparts, they offer excellent transparency and exceptional color saturation. Sourced from deposits discovered in the 1970s, they now represent a quality benchmark in contemporary jewelry, with optimal traceability and remarkable value.

The emerald and diamond combination in rose gold creates a striking contrast between the intense green of the emerald and the white brilliance of diamonds. Classic configurations include:

• Halo: a central emerald surrounded by diamonds that enhance its radiance
• Three-stone: an emerald flanked by two diamonds symbolizing past, present, and future
• Pavé: micro-diamonds on the rose gold chain extending the brilliance

These creations are available as custom designs at Mayuri.

A rose gold emerald choker typically measures 14 to 16 inches and sits close to the neck for a sophisticated effect, ideal with open necklines. A long chain, at 28 to 36 inches, falls on the chest and creates an elegant vertical line, perfect for elongating the silhouette. Between the two, the classic 16 to 18 inch necklace remains the most versatile length. Mayuri offers adjustable lengths and custom designs to suit all body types.

18k rose gold (750/1000) contains 75% pure gold alloyed with copper and silver, making it generally well tolerated by sensitive skin. Its high pure gold content limits allergy risks, unlike lower-karat alloys. For a rose gold emerald necklace worn against the skin, 18k gold offers the best balance between durability, rich rose color, and dermatological compatibility. All Mayuri jewelry is crafted in certified 18k gold.

Yes, Mayuri offers a custom creation service allowing you to set your family emerald in a new rose gold necklace. Our atelier first evaluates the stone (quality, dimensions, condition), then designs a setting adapted to its characteristics. This process transforms an heirloom into a personalized contemporary piece, combining sentimental value with modern aesthetics. The process includes design consultations and the option to add diamonds or engraving.

Contemporary jewelry in 2024 favors refined minimalism with delicate rose gold emerald necklaces featuring a single stone, worn alone or layered. Key trends include:

• Invisible setting: the stone appears to float on an ultra-fine chain
• Asymmetry: emerald positioned off-center for a contemporary style
• Multi-strand: several rose gold chains of varying lengths with a central emerald
• Geometric pendants: hexagonal or triangular shapes framing the emerald

These creations combine understated elegance with modernity.
