As the summer sun illuminates our days, there's no better time to adorn yourself with the vibrant allure of emerald jewelry. This season, we're focusing on the timeless elegance of pre-owned emerald pieces, offering a sustainable and sophisticated approach to luxury styling. At Gray & Sons, we're excited to share seven stunning ways to incorporate these verdant gems into your summer wardrobe, showcasing the versatility and timeless appeal of emerald jewelry.

The Allure of Pre-Owned Emerald Jewelry

Pre-owned emerald jewelry carries a unique charm, combining historical significance with modern style. These pieces often feature exquisite craftsmanship and designs that have stood the test of time. By choosing pre-owned emeralds, you're not only making an environmentally conscious decision but also investing in jewelry with character and story.

Our collection of pre-owned emerald jewelry features pieces that have been carefully authenticated and restored to their former glory. Each item in our inventory is a testament to the enduring beauty of emeralds and the artistry of fine jewelry making.

1. Statement Necklaces: A Splash of Green Elegance

Nothing says summer sophistication quite like a statement emerald necklace. Our Art Deco Style Emerald and diamond necklace in 18k yellow gold is a perfect example of how to make a bold impression. This stunning piece combines the rich green of emeralds with the sparkle of diamonds, set in lustrous yellow gold. Pair it with a simple white sundress for a daytime event or a black evening gown for a night out.

For a more subtle yet equally elegant option, consider our Green amethyst, diamond & emerald necklace in 14k white gold. This piece offers a harmonious blend of cool tones, perfect for complementing summer pastels or adding a refreshing touch to warmer hues.

2. Emerald Earrings: Frame Your Face with Green

Emerald earrings are a versatile way to incorporate this stunning gemstone into your summer looks. Our collection features a range of styles to suit any occasion. For a touch of glamour, the Fabulous 18k white gold emerald tassel drop earrings with diamonds are sure to turn heads. These earrings combine the movement of tassels with the brilliance of emeralds and diamonds, creating a dynamic and eye-catching accessory.

For those who prefer a classic look, our Emerald & diamond earrings in 18k white gold offer timeless elegance. These earrings feature emeralds surrounded by diamonds, providing a perfect balance of color and sparkle.

3. Emerald Bracelets: A Touch of Green on Your Wrist

An emerald bracelet is an excellent way to add a pop of color to your summer ensemble. Our Colombian emerald and diamond bracelet set in 18k yellow gold is a stunning example of how emeralds can be incorporated into a wearable yet luxurious piece. The rich yellow gold setting enhances the deep green of the Colombian emeralds, creating a bracelet that's both eye-catching and sophisticated.

For a more delicate look, the Emerald tennis bracelet in 18K white gold offers a subtle yet elegant way to wear emeralds. This bracelet is perfect for stacking with other pieces or wearing on its own for a refined touch of color.

4. Mixing and Matching: Creating Emerald Sets

One of the joys of styling pre-owned emerald jewelry is the ability to create unique combinations. Consider pairing different pieces to create a cohesive look. For example, combine our Diamond & emerald drop necklace with matching earrings set for a coordinated and glamorous appearance. This set showcases the versatility of emeralds when paired with diamonds, offering a balanced blend of color and sparkle.

5. Emerald Rings: A Pop of Green on Your Fingers

Don't forget about your fingers when styling your summer emerald look. An emerald ring can serve as a stunning focal point for any outfit. While we don't have a specific emerald ring to highlight from our current inventory, consider how a vibrant emerald ring could complement your other emerald jewelry or stand alone as a statement piece.

6. Emeralds for Evening: Glamorous Night Out

For summer evenings, emerald jewelry can add a touch of sophistication and allure to your look. Our GIA Pear & Marquise diamond earrings w/ Columbian natural emerald earrings are perfect for a glamorous night out. These stunning earrings feature pear and marquise-cut diamonds with dangling Colombian emeralds, certified by the prestigious Swiss Gubelin Gem Lab.

7. Casual Emerald Accents: Everyday Luxury

Emeralds aren't just for formal occasions. Incorporate them into your everyday summer style with subtle pieces like stud earrings or delicate pendants. While our current inventory may not include these exact items, the concept of wearing emeralds casually is worth exploring. A small emerald pendant on a thin gold chain or simple emerald stud earrings can add a touch of luxury to even the most casual summer outfits.

Caring for Your Pre-Owned Emerald Jewelry

To ensure your pre-owned emerald jewelry continues to shine brightly, proper care is essential. Emeralds are relatively soft gemstones, so it's important to handle them with care. Avoid exposing your emerald jewelry to harsh chemicals or extreme temperature changes. Clean your pieces gently with a soft brush and mild soap solution, and store them separately to prevent scratching.

For professional cleaning and maintenance, trust the experts at Gray & Sons. Our jewelry repair services can help keep your emerald pieces looking their best for years to come.

FAQ

Q: Are pre-owned emeralds as valuable as new ones? A: Pre-owned emeralds can be just as valuable, if not more so, than new ones. The value of an emerald depends on its quality, size, and rarity, rather than its age. In fact, some pre-owned emeralds may have historical significance or unique cuts that add to their value. At Gray & Sons, we carefully authenticate and appraise all our pre-owned emerald jewelry to ensure you're getting a piece of exceptional quality and value.

Q: How can I tell if an emerald is high quality? A: High-quality emeralds are characterized by their deep, rich green color, clarity, and lack of visible inclusions. However, most emeralds have some inclusions, often referred to as "jardin" (garden in French). At Gray & Sons, we offer expert insights on each piece in our collection, helping you understand the quality and characteristics of the emeralds you're considering.

Q: How should I care for my emerald jewelry? A: Emeralds require gentle care. Clean them with a soft brush and mild soap solution, avoiding harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Store emerald jewelry separately to prevent scratching, and avoid wearing them during activities that might subject them to impacts. For professional cleaning and maintenance, consider our jewelry repair services.

Q: Can I wear emerald jewelry every day? A: While emeralds are suitable for regular wear, they're softer than diamonds and can be prone to scratching. For everyday wear, consider emerald earrings or pendants, which are less likely to be bumped or scratched. Save more delicate or valuable emerald pieces for special occasions.

Q: Are emeralds a good investment? A: High-quality emeralds can be an excellent investment, as they are rare and highly sought after. The value of emeralds has generally increased over time, especially for exceptional stones. However, as with any investment, it's important to purchase from reputable dealers like Gray & Sons, who can provide authentication and detailed information about each piece.
