Why Emerald Marks Twenty Years of Marriage
The 20th wedding anniversary carries emerald as its designated stone, a tradition dating to the early 20th century. Emerald belongs to the beryl mineral family, gaining its green color from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. The finest specimens come from Colombian mines near Bogotá, though Zambian stones offer a deeper, more blue-green hue that many collectors prefer. Our necklaces showcase these natural variations rather than treating them as flaws. Sterling silver provides the ideal setting metal for emerald jewelry. The cool tone of .925 silver amplifies the green without competing for attention, unlike yellow gold which can shift the perceived color. We source stones with natural inclusions, called jardin by gemologists, which confirm authenticity and create individual character in each pendant.
