Very nice looking emerald necklace, I bought for our 55th Wedding Anniversary. It was good quality and a good price too. Emerald is my wife's favourite gem stone. She has a lovely 2 carot natural emerald ring we bought 50 years ago in Thailand. I might now get an emerald ring too from Indie or Harper for my May 2025 birthday.
