COSTA SMERALDA EMERALDSTM
Egypt's Cleopatra favored emeralds as did the Moguls of India
who wore them as talismans. Later, Spanish explorers discovered
the fabulous green gem. The rich green hue is symbolic of the
color of spring symbolizing loving and rebirth.
Costa Smeralda EmeraldsTM are named for the
majestic Emerald Coast in Sardinia, one of the most breathtaking
beaches in the Mediterranean. The Costa Smeralda EmeraldTM
collection features meticulously matched diamond cut, gem
quality emeralds pave set in Le Vian® Strawberry Gold®, accented
with Vanilla Diamonds®. To create these signature pieces, Le
Vian® searched the world for the clearest and rarest emeralds,
looking to create a work of art. Le Vian® artisans chose the
finest color and clarity natural emerald melee found in the
world today and re-cut every one into a diamond-cut round
brilliant-shaped sparkle of luxury. The difficult painstaking
process of acquiring this quality of emeralds and re-cutting and
matching them has resulted in very limited quantities that can
only be supported in a handful of stores.
