Colombia, Zambia, and Brazil produce most of the world's gem-quality emeralds. Our collection features 28,523 pendants in .925 sterling silver, priced from $16 to $11,402.

Emerald became associated with the 55th anniversary through traditional anniversary gift lists that assign increasingly rare gems to later milestones. The stone's green color represents renewal and growth, fitting for a marriage that has lasted 55 years.
Clean emerald jewelry with warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning, as these can damage natural inclusions within the stone. Store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratching.
Yes. SilverRush Style uses natural gemstones in all jewelry. Natural emeralds contain inclusions that confirm their authenticity and often indicate their geographic source.
