Angelina's Oscar Earrings and Ring with Green Quartz

Earring Stones

Center Ring Stone

I have had a number of requests for earrings like Angelina Jolie's but using a more affordable natural green stone.  I managed to pick up a matching set of Green Quartz (also called Prasiolite or Green Amethyst).  The color is a beautiful, rich green. 

The earrings would have a total weight of 70 cts, consisting of a cushion cut top stone and a tear drop (pear) bottom stone.  The ring stone is also a cushion cut stone and weighs 28.6 carats.  In terms of size, I think the stones are similar to Angelina Jolie’s jewelry.  The ring stone is 19mm wide. The top stone for the earring (the cushion cut) is about 14 mm wide and the tear drop stone is almost 27 mm long.  I chose these stones as the best matching set out of a very large package that my Brazilian dealer had.  This is an excellent color for green quartz.  Email me if you are interested in something similar.

Although these are a different shade of green from emeralds they have their own special beauty.  Their large size and fire will make the same statement that Angelina's did on the red carpet.

Choosing Aquamarine Stones

I thought I would add a couple of pictures of what it is like going through a parcel of stones to choose a few that represent the best of the pack.  Aquamarine, as well as topaz and alexandrite, show their best side under light conditions at night.  The value of aquamarine increases dramatically as the color becomes more intense.  Exceptional stones should have an icy blue quality to them.

In 1954, a 34 kilogram aquamarine was found and named after the Miss Brazil of that year.  Her eyes were said to match the color of the stone exactly.  Gems that are cut from that stone are said to be the finest aquamarine ever.

Spectacular Aquamarine for Earrings or Pendant

My Brazilian dealer was in town.  He had these spectacular aquamarine stones.  They have a total weight of over 140 cts and are 2.8 inches long.  I have shown them above next to a pen, so you can get a sense of just how large they are.  They would make a truly unique set of earrings or, set individually, they would make outstanding pendants.  The earrings would cost approximately $8,500 and a pendant would be about $4,250.  This works out to less than $61 per carat, which is a really good price for aquamarine this size and clarity.  

Can you imagine walking into a party wearing these stones?

I also think that if they are surrounded by small pave diamonds, then they would really show their beauty.

Let me know if you are interested in a personalized design using these stones.

Jessica Biel wore diamond earrings and a matching diamond cuff on the red carpet.  This, in my opinion, was some of the most interesting jewelry of the night.
