Emerald is a gemstone belonging to the beryl family. Its green color is due to the presence of chromium and vanadium in its chemical composition. On the Mohs scale (a scale for measuring mineral hardness, ranging from 1 (lowest, like talc) to 10 (highest, like diamond), emerald has a hardness of 7.5 to 8.

The "pear cut", is a cut (i.e. the way the stone is cut) in the shape of a drop of water, very refined and feminine, which sublimates the beauty of the gem.

The "round cut", also called "brilliant cut" is the cut (i.e. the way the stone is cut) considered to be of ideal proportions to maximize brilliance and fire.

Lepage chains are particularly brilliant thanks to their "diamond" finish: the links that make them up are slightly bevelled, reflecting the light with each roll of the chain on your skin, making them sparkle beautifully. A real plus for enhancing the pendants they accompany!
