I have this love/hate relationship with emeralds.

I adore the rich, deep green you can only see in the depth of an emerald. Storybook green. These stones have it and I adore them.

The hate part comes in when I try to capture them with my camera. As a photographer, I strive to capture gems in a way that translates their true personality.

Many Diamonds love the spotlight... while emeralds are shrinking violets... they get a bit dull in the bright lights of photography, but in normal room lighting they're stunning.

In person, these earrings are dazzling. The contrast between super well cut, icy white halo diamonds and deep green emeralds is stunning.

The emeralds have the ability to be such a deep green color yet kick back bright flashes.

The custom made 18karat white gold earrings are flawlessly executed. The overall dimensions are 11.6 x 9.7mm
