Gothic Earring Studs Trapiche Emerald Jewelry 22k
Trapiche Emerald Jewelry
Fine stud earrings set with a pair of trapiche emeralds weighing 5.19ctw and accented with diamonds in 22k.
These Colombian emeralds are not only a rare stone but an uncommon variation of this particular type of emerald.
Most trapiche emeralds are green, as are emeralds, making these ‘albino’ variegated stones an unusual specimen.
These grey trapiche emeralds have well delineated spokes and a clear, frosty translucence.
The cabochons have a protrusive dome, mirrored by the domed bridge work at the back (not flat).
In their very gold bezels the sepia hues of the emeralds display a gothic contrast of grey and gold.
From afar, these rounded ‘eyes’ are plush, not beady, because at 14mm, they are shaped and sized deliberately.
A dark beauty to wear all day and into the night.
