Cirari Couture Jewels Chrome Diopside and Diamond Pendant in 14K

A cameo begins as a single striped gem, usually agate with layers of different colors. It’s skillfully carved in one piece by a sculptor so that a figure stands out in one color against a background of another color. Cameos have been popular since the reign of Alexander the Great in the 3rd century B.C. Because a cameo relies on the natural mineral layers, each one is an individual expression of the carver’s art. Wearing a cameo is like wearing a personal sculpture, unique in the world.

14K white gold is the most popular white precious jewelry metal. Its pale glow is the perfect setting for cool-toned gems. Since gold is naturally golden yellow in color, to make 14K white gold, 58.5% gold is alloyed with white metals, usually silver, zinc, palladium, or nickel. These metals also improve the hardness, durability, and affordability of white gold jewelry, since pure gold scratches fairly easily. To get that bright shine, most white gold jewelry is also plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.

Cirari finely crafts jewelry with exquisite style and a rainbow of colorful gems. You can admire Cirari Couture jewelry on the red carpet worn by stars like Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Kristin Cavallari, Eve, Andra Day, Jessie J, and Allison Janney. Whether it’s an elaborate Hollywood statement jewel or a simple pendant you wear every day, Cirari’s exceptional craftsmanship shines through.
