Or at least the inexpensive version of them 😉. In 2009, matched with a 65 carat ring and reportedly worth $2.5 million dollars, Angelina Jolie wore a pair of Titanic-sized 115-carat pear-shaped Colombian Emerald Drop Earrings by Lorraine Schwartz to The 81st Academy Awards.

Because she single-handedly revitalized the Emerald Jewelry industry in one night, reasonably priced recreations and imitations of the design immediately started to appear in the days, weeks, months and even years after. One of those is/was Kenneth Jay Lane's Emerald and Gold Teardrop Pierced or Clip Earrings worn by Kyle Richards in the very first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, episode 6, The Art of War.

Furthermore, yeah, you might be thinking "Emeralds are the birthstone of the month of May," but surely, you can make a striking appearance any time of the year. Kyle was born in January and does just that, as she wears her emeralds all throughout the year. She has become known for mixing fine and faux jewelry.

A few years ago, Kyle once stated about Emerald jewels, "After diamonds, they're my favorite!". Hey, I agree with you, Kyle. I love them, too. Deep dark green emeralds can add a pop of color to any attire.
