Emerald jewelry is not something of the past. It has been around forever but will continue to be present for many years to come. The sharp color of the precious gemstone has made it a favorite among celebrities and royalty alike. Over the years there have been some emerald jewelry pieces that have truly left their mark. Here is a look at just a few of those pieces.

Princess Diana’s Cambridge Emerald Choker Necklace

The late Princess Diana was unique in many ways. An instance of her uniqueness was the way she wore this glorious emerald necklace. The necklace, which was a gift from Queen Elizabeth and originally owned by Queen Mary, was worn as a headband instead of a choker. Somehow the beautiful princess was able to get away with such unconventional styles.

Angelina Jolie’ Emerald Earrings

Angelina Jolie’s emerald drop earrings will forever be remembered as some of the most beautiful emerald earrings, or even earrings in general, to be worn on the red carpet. The enchanting emerald green color combined with the face shape and silhouette of the actress resulted in a perfect match. The pear shaped emerald earrings consisted of two emeralds on each earring: a round emerald that sits on the ear and a pear shaped emerald that falls from it.

Elizabeth Taylor’s Bulgari Emerald Necklace

It is no secret that Elizabeth Taylor had an impressive jewelry collection, which of course included several emerald pieces. One of the most noteworthy pieces is the Bulgrai emerald necklace that Richard Burton bought her. Interestingly enough, as large as the necklace is, it was supposedly the smaller of the two emerald necklaces that Taylor was debating between.

Kim Kardashian’s Lorraine Schwartz Emerald Earrings and Necklace

The Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings and necklace that Kim Kardashian wore are some of the most elaborate and eye-catching emerald jewels to have been sported by celebrities. Leave it to the very public Kim Kardashian to display these fine green jewels.

The delightful green color of emeralds makes it hard to miss a single piece of emerald jewelry one comes across. The remarkable jewelry made from these stones stays close to those lucky enough to own their individual emerald jewelry piece.
