Zambian Emerald and Diamond Necklace 18k Gold | The Odyssey

A necklace of exceptional presence. 4.37 carats of natural Zambian emeralds alternate with 1.29 carats of natural diamonds, set in 18-karat yellow gold.

4.37 carats of Zambian emeralds - Eleven graduated emerald-cut stones that follow the natural curve of the collarbone, punctuated by twelve round emeralds in that distinctive bluish-green hue that defines the finest Zambian stones. Each emerald-cut stone is surrounded by a halo of diamonds: 24 round brilliants complemented by pavé-set stones that create a continuous play of light.

1.29 carats of F-G color diamonds enhance the vivid green without competing for attention. The result is a necklace that captures light from every angle, transforming it into something between sparkle and glow.

15.545 grams of 18-karat yellow gold provides both substance and warmth. The articulated setting allows the necklace to move naturally, while the warm metal creates a striking contrast against the cool green of the emeralds.

Zambian emeralds are prized for their exceptional clarity and transparency, characteristics often more pronounced than in stones from other origins. The bluish-green hue is distinctive, the result of geological conditions unique to Zambia's mines. Each stone in this necklace has been hand-selected for depth of color and consistency, creating a graduated effect that feels both deliberate and effortless.

The necklace measures 45cm with an integrated adjustment chain, allowing it to be worn at 44cm, 43cm, 42cm, or 41cm. This versatility means it adapts to different necklines and occasions, sitting precisely where you want it.

This is craftsmanship of the highest order: each emerald individually set, each diamond in every halo placed by hand. The work of artisans who understand that excellence lies in details invisible to the eye but evident in the finished piece.
