Emerald Teardrop Pendant in 18K Gold

A 7.45-carat natural emerald teardrop in 18K gold — the green stone in pure form, no surrounding ornament.

The emerald is among the four traditional precious stones, alongside diamond, ruby, and sapphire. As center stone in a pendant — without halo, without accent diamonds, without bicolor framing — the gem carries the entire piece on its own.

This pendant uses a 7.45-carat natural emerald in classic teardrop (pear) cut, approximately 18 × 12 mm in size, set in 18K yellow gold. The metal frame is minimal — just enough to hold the stone — so the emerald reads as the only design element.

At 2.7 grams, the pendant's mass is concentrated almost entirely in the gemstone rather than in surrounding gold. A piece where the value is in the stone, not in the setting.
