High Jewelry Emerald Pieces by GIOIA
At GIOIA Fine Jewellery, we design high jewelry around one exceptional gemstone, and this page shows several of our emerald pieces. Our work has been featured in Tatler Asia, and we hold a large range of natural coloured gemstones, so you can choose the stone with us before any design is drawn. Our designer and craftsmen then work on each piece together, by hand, from the first sketch to the final polish.

How We Choose the Emerald
We believe the heart of a fine jewellery piece is its gemstone, and colour is what we love most. Emeralds show this well. Almost every emerald has inclusions, so we look for the rare stones that pair a deep, vivid green with clarity good enough to let that colour glow. Many emeralds are also oiled to hide fractures, which is why both pieces below are set with non-oil stones.
The 3.77 Carat Non-Oil Emerald Ring
The centrepiece of this ring is a rare non-oil emerald of 3.77 carats. Its green is rich and even, and because it shows no oil or other clarity treatment, the clarity you see is the stone’s own.
Double claws in yellow gold hold the emerald and contrast with the white gold of the rest of the ring. With two fine points on each corner, the stone stays secure while very little of it is hidden.
A Swirl of Pear Diamonds
Around the emerald, pear-shaped diamonds are set at an angle so the halo seems to turn, giving the ring a gentle spiral. Smaller diamonds run down both sides of the band and carry the sparkle round the finger.
Designed to Be Worn
We made this ring to be worn, not kept in a safe. Each diamond in the halo was matched in size to its neighbour so the ring looks balanced from every angle, and the open wirework beneath the halo lets light reach the diamonds from below. It is the kind of piece a family keeps for generations.
The Non-Oil Muzo Emerald Pendant
Our second piece is a high jewelry pendant set with a fine non-oil emerald from Muzo in Colombia, the area many collectors regard as the source of the finest green. Pear and marquise diamonds frame the stone in a star-like pattern, with a small diamond cluster above it at the bail. It took several weeks to make.
FAQs on Custom High Jewelry Emerald
Common questions about designing a high jewelry emerald piece, whether a ring, a pendant or earrings.
What makes GIOIA different for high jewelry?
We design each piece around a single gemstone that you choose with us, rather than fitting a stone into a ready-made design.
How do you select the gemstones used in your jewellery?
We look at colour first, then clarity and cut. Besides emeralds like the ones above, we source vivid pigeon blood ruby and royal blue sapphire, mainly unheated. Every stone is bought to be set in a GIOIA design, which is why we do not sell loose gemstones.
How does the customisation process work at GIOIA Fine Jewellery?
It begins with the gemstone and a conversation about how you plan to wear the piece. Our designer sketches the design, and once you approve it, our master craftsman makes it by hand. A high jewelry piece usually takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the design and how many stones need matching.
How can I start the process of designing a custom piece with GIOIA Fine Jewellery?
Visit our boutique at International Plaza or contact us through our website. We will show you stones that suit your idea and budget, then guide you through each step until the piece is finished.
