Chrome Diopside 39 (4X5mm) Gemstones set in Rhodium Flash Sterling Silver 15.52ct Necklace.  This fabulous necklace is variable in length 45 to 50cm (17.5 to 19.5").  Chrome Diopside is not an inspiring name for such a beautiful gemstone.  In the trade it is referred to as the 'Real Emerald'.   It was mined in Northern Russia for only four months of the year, it was too frozen to mine for        longer than that.  The mine closed down about five years ago so what we have on the market now is all we are going to get.  I really love this gemstone for it's beautiful green colour but the                gemstones that were mined were never very large and the size of the gemstones in this necklace are unusually large.   I have photo'd the gemstones from the side and the back so you can see       how well they have been set.  If you decide you want to purchase this necklace I do have a              bracelet that will match it.
