Emerald Jewelry
Emerald jewelry has and will probably always be the choice for the most sophisticated women. From Hollywood Stars of the 1900s like Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor to Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman,
Emerald Jewelry has become a staple on the red carpet and in the homes of women all over the world. Famously, when the Duchess of York's entire jewelry collection was stolen from her stately home in England in 1946, she used the entire insurance payment to buy a 90 carat
cushion-cut emerald brooch that she cherished for the rest of her life. As everyone has seen from People and US Magazine, the uber-fashionable and always beautiful Angelina Jolie added a pair of deep green
emerald drop earrings to her black dress, effortlessly adding a bit of luxe to an otherwise simple outfit. We liked the look so much we made our own inspired version of
Emerald Drop Earrings (though probably at a fraction of the price she paid!).
Emerald jewelry has always enjoyed adulation from the rich and famous. What is now a coveted jewel amongst the Hollywood beauties, was at one time the chosen gemstone of rulers and emperors. The dynamic Catherine The Great who seized the Russian throne from her very own husband is said to nurture a fondness for jewels and had a personal collection of some of the world's best
emeralds, while the sensuous Cleopatra, Empress of Egypt is famous for her penchant for emeralds with some of the fist emerald mines in Egypt dating back to her times. The Moguls were equally famous for their emerald studded palaces and inscribed emeralds. One thing is for sure, the lush green emerald over centuries has not ceased to pique the love interest in these evergreen
gemstones.
