10K Yellow Gold Dangling 5x3 mm Green Emerald and Diamond Station Necklace - 18" Inches

Highlights

• Five bezel-set round diamonds run along the cable chain, totaling 0.133 ct in I-J color and SI2-I1 clarity.
• Each diamond station pairs with a pear cut natural green emerald measuring 3 x 5 mm, also bezel-set.
• The metal is 10K yellow gold, rhodium plated over gold, for a bright white finish over a warmer gold tone.
• The 18 inch cable chain closes with a lobster claw clasp.
• The emeralds are oiled, a common treatment for the stone.

Good to Know

• The bezel settings surround both the diamonds and emeralds, protecting their edges from daily wear.
• The diamonds total 0.133 ct across all five stones.
• The 18 inch cable chain and lobster claw clasp offer a clasp style that is more secure to fasten than a spring ring.
• The emeralds are oiled, a treatment that requires avoiding harsh chemicals and solvents.
• The rhodium plating sits over gold rather than being solid throughout, so its bright white finish is a surface layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the necklace made from?

It is made from 10K yellow gold, rhodium plated over gold, which gives the setting a bright white finish over the warmer gold tone underneath. The chain itself is a cable chain made of 10K gold.

How long is the chain and what closure does it use?

The chain measures 18 inches and closes with a lobster claw clasp, which uses a sprung lever for a secure fastening. This length sits at the collarbone on most wearers.

What are the diamonds and emeralds on the piece?

The piece holds 5 round diamonds totaling 0.133 ct in I-J color and SI2-I1 clarity, each bezel-set. Below each diamond hangs a pear cut natural green emerald, measuring 3 x 5 mm, also bezel-set, and treated with oil.

How should the piece be cleaned and stored?

Clean it with a soft cloth, and mild soap and water rather than harsh polishing compounds or dips, which can wear down the rhodium finish. Store it away from other jewelry to avoid scratching, and keep it away from chemicals that could affect the emeralds' oil treatment.
