Pear-Cut Morganite and Diamond Pendant in 14K Yellow Gold

A blushing beryl that ranges from powder pink to peach, morganite combines sweet color with flashing brilliance like its gem sibling aquamarine. Morganite was first discovered near San Diego in California in the early twentieth century, setting off a gem rush. George Kunz of Tiffany & Co. named it in honor of his biggest customer: millionaire bank tycoon J.P. Morgan, who was an avid gem collector. Today, it’s still a rare treasure for any gem connoisseur to add to her gem collection.

With a warm sunny glow, 14K gold is the standard for fine jewelry, valued in every culture for its beauty as well as its long history as a store of wealth and a symbol of success. Gold doesn’t tarnish, rust, or corrode. Pure 24K gold is alloyed with other metals, including silver, copper, and zinc, to make it more durable. 14K yellow gold, 58.5% gold, is the most popular alloy in the United States because it holds gems securely and resists wear and scratching. Your gold jewelry will shine for generations.
