La Tablette Verte Pendant

Emerald is among the stones we value most in our craft. Its vivid green makes it one of the most striking gems in jewelry, admired for the way it radiates both elegance and strength. Large emeralds are especially cherished at George Hakim, and many of our statement pieces are designed around them.

Because each emerald carries its own unique character, we select them with extreme care. The process is meticulous, as we search for stones that combine beauty, presence, and intensity of color. Every emerald chosen for our jewels is examined with precision, ensuring it meets the standards of artistry and refinement that define George Hakim.

Emeralds are more delicate than some other gemstones and must be handled thoughtfully. They should be kept away from perfumes, chemicals, and heat, and should only be cleaned gently with lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap, and a soft cloth. To preserve their glow, we recommend storing them in our George Hakim boxes or GH pouches, created to protect and honor each jewel.

For us, emerald is not simply a gemstone. It is a centerpiece of our identity, a symbol of vitality and prestige, and one of the treasures we most proudly transform into timeless works of high jewelry.

Throughout history, diamonds have been revered as fragments of the divine, stars fallen to earth, tears of the gods, or lightning crystallized in stone. Today, they remain at the heart of high jewelry, treasured for both their natural rarity and the artistry required to unlock their brilliance. Their story is one of beauty and power, a reflection of nature’s perfection and human devotion to excellence.

At George Hakim, we are uncompromising in our diamond selection. Beyond the strict gemological standards of the 4Cs, we seek only stones that carry a soul, those with exceptional presence and beauty. Every diamond we choose must meet the highest standards of excellence, adhering to a philosophy that is as demanding as it is passionate.

We select carat weights that enhance design and harmony. Each diamond is proportioned to reveal its maximum beauty and brilliance.

The cut is where mastery meets light. Even the purest diamond cannot reveal its fire without precision in angles, symmetry, and polish. An excellent cut transforms a diamond from simple crystal to living brilliance, a reflection of our artistry as jewelers united with nature’s perfection.

When it comes to color, we favor stones that radiate pure, vibrant light, from icy whites to the most refined fancy shades. Each diamond within a creation is carefully matched; we never mix color tones, ensuring that every jewel displays perfect visual harmony.

For clarity, we select only diamonds of exceptional purity, predominantly VVS clarity, where any natural inclusions are invisible to the naked eye, preserving each gem’s flawless appearance and inner light.

Despite its unmatched hardness, diamonds should always be treated with care. Household chemicals may dull the brilliance of their setting, and diamonds can scratch one another if stored together. We recommend cleaning gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, followed by drying with a lint-free cloth. To preserve their glow, store your jewels in our George Hakim boxes or GH pouches, designed to protect and honor their radiance while surrounding them with elegance.
