Famous Emerald Necklace

Hi Girls

Mackay Emerald Necklace

Since the month of the emerald is about to end, I thought I would show you a world famous emerald necklace called the Mackay Emerald. This emerald is 167.97 carats and was discovered in Muzo, Columbia, designed by Cartier and is the largest cut emerald in the National Gem Collection. This little bauble was a wedding gift from Clarence H. Mackay to his wife, who later donated it to the Smithsonian Institute. Talk about generosity.

Perhaps we can’t all be as well endowed but gorgeous, eye catching Emerald necklaces are not out of reach. This gorgeous emerald pendant, for example, is less than $200 and doesn’t require a crane every time you lift your head:

And this lovely ring can put some zing in your bling:

We may not all have small fortunes at our disposal but a small investment in some jewelry that makes us look and feel glamorous is always a wise choice.

SMILES!
