1. Emerald Drop/Dangle Earrings
You'll find an assortment of styles among the emerald earrings in this collection. Some emeralds are mixed with diamonds and some are set with other stones, but many of the earrings are fashioned from strictly emeralds. Pricing varies as much as style.
2. Emerald Stud Earrings
There are many styles and gemstone sizes represented here, all in a range of prices. The smaller size of many stud earrings means that, overall, stones are not as large, keeping prices more affordable. Some earrings in this group are set with additional gemstones, including diamonds. You'll find a very nice selection of emerald studs in this assortment.
3. Emerald Pendants
I think the thing that struck me most about this collection is that it's a nice blend of both traditional and non-traditional styles. There should be something here to suit every taste.
4. Emerald Bracelets
A high percentage of these emerald bracelets are set with diamonds. They just go together, emeralds and diamonds, with each one enhancing the other's beauty. There's something here for everyone, from loosely fitting fluid bracelets to rigid bangles.
5. Emerald Rings
From delicate to bold, you'll find loads of emerald rings in this assortment. Prices range from affordable to out there.6. Emerald Brooches
This is not a huge assortment, but the brooches here are mostly cute as can be. My favorite is a little gold crab pin set with emeralds and diamonds.
