Green with Envy: Why Celebrities and Collectors are Obsessed with Emeralds

Read time: 1-2 mins

When Beyoncé, Angelina, and Elizabeth Taylor all choose the same stone— you pay attention.

From red carpets to private collections, Emeralds have long been the gemstone of choice for those who don’t follow trends, but for those that set them. Elizabeth Taylor’s legendary Bulgari emerald suite set a new standard for old Hollywood glamour, while Angelina Jolie’s jaw-dropping emerald drop earrings at the Oscars made headlines around the world. And Beyoncé? She continues to dazzle in custom Lorraine Schwartz Emeralds that prove green is anything but subtle.

While Diamonds may be the default, Emeralds are the power move. A-listers reach for them not just for their rich, unmistakable colour— but for their rarity. In a world saturated with sparkle, Emeralds offer something different: depth, character, and a quiet confidence that says, “I know exactly what I’m doing.”

That’s why Emeralds have become the ultimate if-you-know-you-know gemstone. Collectors and tastemakers are snapping up high-quality stones while they can, because the best ones are getting harder to find, and harder to forget.

At Cavalier, we specialize in sourcing Emeralds with bold colour, natural beauty, and serious presence. These are one-of-a-kind pieces meant to be worn, lived in, and eventually passed down— a modern heirloom if you will.
