Diana Oval Emerald Halo Necklace

Some pieces you buy. Others you inherit — even when you're the one who bought them.

The oval halo pendant is jewellery in its most classic form. It's the silhouette Diana wore. The one Kate wears now. The one your daughter will one day find in your jewellery box and refuse to give back.

We made ours in S925 sterling silver, platinum-plated, with a full carat of lab-grown emerald wrapped in fourteen hand-set clear stones. Small enough to whisper. Rare enough to remember.

The details that matter

• 1 carat oval lab-grown emerald — vivid deep green, brilliant clarity, no ethical baggage
• 14-stone clear pavé halo — hand-set, so every stone catches light differently
• S925 sterling silver, platinum-plated so it never tarnishes, never turns skin green
• Only 2.94g — so light you'll forget you're wearing it, until someone asks
• Adjustable 40 + 5cm chain — sits at the collarbone, or drop it a little lower

The story it tells

Under a white t-shirt on a Tuesday. Over a cashmere sweater at Sunday lunch. Against bare skin in a black slip dress. It's the piece that makes you look photographed even when no one's taking your picture.

Wear it to the wedding. Wear it to the grocery store. Wear it to your daughter's graduation, twenty years from now, when the green still hasn't faded.

Questions we get asked

Is this real silver? Yes. Hallmarked S925 (92.5% pure) sterling silver. The platinum plating protects it from tarnish for years, not months.

Is the emerald real? Yes. Lab-grown emeralds are the same mineral — beryl with chromium — as the ones pulled from Colombian mines. Chemically identical. Physically indistinguishable. Just grown in a lab instead of taken from the earth. Cleaner, more ethical, and priced without the mining markup.

Will it turn green or tarnish? No. The platinum plating creates a barrier between the silver and your skin. Even on sensitive skin, you're safe.

Is the pendant big enough to see? The pendant is roughly the size of a large fingernail. Small on purpose — that's what makes it read as fine jewellery instead of costume. Understated is the whole point.

Can I gift it? Yes. Every piece ships in our signature linen box, pre-wrapped. No extra step needed.
