Emerald necklace button 5 mm faceted

This extraordinary emerald necklace displays the full color palette of emerald in a single piece of jewelry – from deep blue-green to vibrant grass-green and delicate yellow-green. The finely faceted button-cut stones, approximately 5 mm in size, capture the light in a multitude of ways, allowing the emerald's natural play of colors to shine in all its glory. Each stone is unique, veined with the typical natural inclusions – the so-called "jardin" (garden) – which attest to its authenticity and naturalness. A necklace of rare preciousness that embodies health, hope, and eternal youth.

Mineralogical Properties

Emerald is the dark to light green variety of the mineral beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) and thus belongs to the same mineral family as aquamarine (blue) and morganite (pink). Its characteristic green color – from deep blue-green to vibrant yellow-green – is caused by small amounts of chromium and vanadium in the crystal lattice. Its Mohs hardness is 7.5 to 8. Emerald crystallizes in the hexagonal system and exhibits a lively vitreous luster. Typical of emeralds are natural inclusions and fissures – the so-called "jardin" (garden) – which distinguish it from synthetic stones and attest to its naturalness. Emerald is one of the most expensive and sought-after gemstones in the world. The most important deposits are in Colombia (Muzo, Chivor), Zambia, Brazil, Zimbabwe, and Egypt.

Healing & Energetic Properties

In gemstone healing, emerald is considered more than any other stone to represent health, eternal youth, and opening of the heart. Already the ancient Egyptians revered it as a magical stone, and Hildegard von Bingen described its healing effects for headaches, pain, and epilepsy. The following effects are attributed to it:

• represents health and eternal youth like no other stone
• strengthens the heart and supports the cardiovascular system
• has a balancing, nerve-strengthening, and harmonizing effect
• bestows serenity, joy of life, and hope – even in dark hours
• stands for harmony, balance, and justice
• symbolizes hope, abundance, and growth in life
• was traditionally used by Hildegard von Bingen for headaches, pain, and epilepsy

In chakra teachings, emerald is associated with the heart chakra – it opens your heart to love, compassion, and deep connection with life. The faceted cut of the 5 mm button-cut stones makes the light dance particularly vibrantly within the stone, making this necklace a piece of jewelry that you feel – not just see.

Care & Information

Clean your necklace with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid contact with chemicals, perfume, and ultrasound, as well as extreme temperature fluctuations. Emeralds are more delicate than other gemstones due to their natural inclusions and should be protected from impacts.
