COLOMBIAN EMERALDS

Kwiat seeks out the purest, most deeply colored emeralds on earth, sustainably and ethically sourced from the Muzo and Chivor mines in Colombia. Their dark green hue comes from a combination of scarce elements that can only be found in these mines—a color so prized that often these emeralds are more valuable than diamonds of equal weight. Each is completely unique thanks to the distinctive inclusions that are a characteristic of all emeralds. To celebrate their one-of-a-kind nature, Kwiat starts with the emeralds, then designs diamond-accented settings that will best amplify their beauty. Each piece is crafted in elegant, minimal platinum or 18K gold, specially engineered to be durable yet lightweight and allow maximum light flow into the gemstones.
