From the French for 'a thousand grains', the tiny beads of a milgrain accent can add complexity and detail to a Smoky Quartz design, as well as create a vintage or antique look. Yellow gold brings out the bronze and golden colors inside a smoky quartz pendant. White gold will highlight the brown and grey tones of the gem. Either way, you can't go wrong. Emerald is associated with Venus, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. They say an emerald pendant can protect lovers from unfaithfulness.
