Real Emerald Pendants Set in .925 Sterling Silver
Emerald gets its green color from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium within the beryl crystal structure. The most valued specimens show a pure green hue without yellow or blue secondary tones. Colombian emeralds from the Muzo and Chivor mines remain the global standard for color quality, while Zambian stones offer deeper saturation with slight blue undertones. Our sterling silver settings protect each stone while allowing light to enter from multiple angles. The .925 silver alloy contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, providing durability without tarnishing as quickly as fine silver. We stock pendants in solitaire, halo, and cluster arrangements to fit different necklines and personal preferences. SilverRush Style has sold natural stone jewelry since 2005. Every emerald pendant ships with the stone's origin region when available. Browse the full selection and filter by carat weight, setting style, or price point to find what fits your needs.Frequently Asked Questions
What is the birthstone for May?
Emerald is the official May birthstone, designated by the American Gem Trade Association and Jewelers of America. It belongs to the beryl mineral family alongside aquamarine and morganite.
How do I care for emerald jewelry?
Clean emerald pendants with warm water and mild soap using a soft brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam, as most emeralds contain natural inclusions and surface-reaching fractures that heat or vibration can worsen.
Are emeralds durable enough for daily wear?
Emerald rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, harder than most common materials. Pendants receive less impact than rings, making them a practical choice for regular wear with reasonable care.
