The Romans believed emerald to belong to the Venus, the Goddess of Love, while the ancient Egyptians thought emeralds would bring eternal life. However you look at it, this is a powerful gemstone!
While this quite sizable emerald is a genuine rock, it has been treated to bring out the colour... otherwise, I can assure you that you would be paying a great deal more for this beautiful piece.
Framed by a weave of metallic bronze-tone glass beads with a golden freshwater pearl highlight, the pendant measures 2cm wide by 4.5cm long, and is suspended from a 46cm bronze chain.
