All about Emerald Necklaces

Jewelry.com is your source for expert advice, information, and shopping tips on choosing the perfect emerald necklace. A favorite of ancient monarchs and modern movie stars alike, emerald necklaces' verdant beauty has been dropping jaws and quickening pulses throughout the ages.

One glance at a stunning emerald necklace confirms why the emerald has been prized for centuries- the intensity of its green hues glows with all the vitality of a new leaf reaching for the sun. By no coincidence, emerald's rich green hue has long served as a symbol of life, rebirth, growth and spring. The ancients ascribed numerous magical and mystical properties to this most precious of green gems, a favorite of Cleopatra's. Sanskrit texts claimed that emerald's rich green tones balanced the heart chakra, or spiritual center, strengthening love and promoting clarity and calm. In ancient Rome, emeralds were believed to have a soothing effect on the soul. Modern scientists have since shown these beliefs to have some basis in fact; tests indicate that the human eye is more sensitive to green than any other color.

Emerald necklaces have long been prized as incomparable dazzlers and lusted after for millennia. When Rome dictated its terms of surrender to Cleopatra, she was ordered to hand over her jewelry- a collection that no doubt included a stunning emerald necklace or two! Priceless emerald necklaces are the piece de resistance of many famous jewelry collections, including those of Queen Elizabeth II, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlene Dietrich. Available in a range of styles- from simple and elegant to modern and bold- emerald necklaces are a never-fail, flawless addition to any ensemble!
