Victorian Button-Back Emerald and Kyanite Necklace in 14k Yellow Gold and Black Rhodium

A necklace that could have been commissioned for a Victorian court — and would still stop a room today. Twenty-two stones run the full length of this rivière-style necklace in an alternating rhythm of vivid green emeralds and deep blue kyanites, each one individually bezel-set in black rhodium against 14k yellow gold. The black rhodium settings create a dramatic frame around every stone, making the greens feel more electric and the blues more saturated than they would in any other setting.

The stones are mixed in shape — ovals, pears, octagons, and rounds — giving the necklace an organic, collected quality, as though each gem was chosen for its individual character rather than cut to match. At 12.87 carats of emerald and 14.43 carats of kyanite, the total stone weight is substantial, and it shows. This is a necklace with presence.

The 14k yellow gold cable chain adjusts from 16" to 18" via a lobster clasp with extender, allowing it to sit at the collarbone or just below. A piece for the collector who understands that color is the ultimate luxury.
