Edwardian 18ct Gold & Cabochon Flux Emerald Tie Pin

896T
80 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A good looking tie pin that has been set with a Flux emerald. French chemist Jacques Joseph Ebelman developed the flux process to make emeralds in 1848. However, it was more expensive to synthesise emeralds than to mine them until 100 years later.  The elements that make emeralds are dissolved in a heated solution with flux to aid in melting everything, all inside a platinum crucible (only flux emeralds may show platinum platelets in them). The solution is then heated for as long as the grower wants. It can take months to grow large crystals, with the size of the crystal proportional to the amount of time it spends growing. These emeralds were sought after in their own right.

This tie pin that has been rub over set with a cabochon cut flux emerald was made circa 1910-1920 and is an interesting example of the technique.

All our tie pins come with a stopper at the end of the pin.
