3.43 Cushion Emerald Pendant Necklace 14k Yellow Gold

This modern pendant necklace features a 3.43 carat cushion cut emerald set in 14 karat yellow gold on an 18-inch paperclip chain. The emerald is mounted in an east-west orientation, meaning it sits horizontally across your chest rather than vertically, which is an unexpected take on pendant design.

Cushion cuts have rounded corners and larger facets than round brilliants, creating a softer sparkle with more color depth - emeralds in this cut show their rich green hue more intensely than step cuts would.

At 3.43 carats, this emerald measures approximately 10 x 8mm, making it a substantial focal point that people will definitely notice. The bezel setting wraps completely around the stone's perimeter, protecting the edges while keeping the profile relatively flat against your chest.
