18ky Emerald Mooring Hoops

Crafted in-house by our team of goldsmiths at Brilliant Jewellery

Part of our signature Torrington Bay Collection is our timeless Mooring design. Inspired by the tactful dance of docking a boat - the moment when a rope is cased around a bollard, securing it in place. In this design, the gemstone and its bezel become the bollard, while a sculpted gold lasso wraps and anchors the setting, symbolizing arrival, connection, and permanence.

Elegant, practical, and built to last for generations. This collection is crafted from recycled Nova Scotian gold; melted, refined, and forged in-house by our master goldsmiths. Hand-fabricated snap-clasps securely and comfortably harbour 1.58 carats of natural emeralds to your ears, making these hoops a worry-free everyday wear.

About

Contemporary Era

(1970 - Now)

Also referred to as the “More is More” Era. Large-scale jewellery started being produced as Pop Art and Bohemian fashions came into popularity.

Unconventional materials such as plastic and wood became the new medium of fabricating jewellery. Further, prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became increasingly popular. Jewellery of the Contemporary Era was labelled as “wearable art”.

As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant, with women donning oversized hoop earrings and chunky necklaces. As it became more common to see women in the workplace, the demand for purchasing "work wear" jewellery increased as well.

Costume jewellery truly began to take center stage during the 80s. With maximalism in full force, plastic jewellery was bright, eye-catching, and a cost-effective way to express individuality.

Contemporary jewellery is something that will always be in style, because its something that is “made in current time”.

Emerald - Beryl Variety

Known for their green hue, emeralds were first mined in Egypt as early as 330 BC. Emeralds can be found in many places throughout the world, however, the three most common sources of emeralds are Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia. Although beryl has a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs hardness scale, emeralds may have several inclusions, making it a weaker stone that is not recommended for everyday wear.
