Before It Falls — A Meaningful Gemstone Necklace, $189
Before It Falls by Dellyrica is a double-teardrop necklace created as a meaningful gift for her. Each version features a 7 × 10 mm pear-cut lab-grown gemstone beneath a 2.5 × 3.5 mm pear-cut D-color moissanite accent, set in 14K gold vermeil over 925 sterling silver. Four gemstone colors offer different expressions of the same design: ruby, cornflower blue sapphire, emerald, and royal blue sapphire.
Why a Teardrop Necklace Makes a Meaningful Gift
A thoughtful jewelry gift isn't defined by its price alone. What stays with us is often the story attached to it: a birthday that marked a new beginning, an anniversary we never want to forget, or an unexpected moment of affection.
Although tears are often associated with sadness, they also accompany happiness, relief, tenderness, and love. That makes the teardrop an especially open-ended symbol. Its meaning belongs to the giver and the wearer, not to a fixed rule.
For someone who likes classic jewelry but appreciates a personal detail, a pear-shaped gemstone necklace can be both easy to wear and emotionally significant.
Meet Before It Falls: Two Drops, One Meaning
There is a fleeting instant when emotion first becomes visible, yet has not quite escaped us.
A tear gathers at the edge of an eye. A word remains unspoken. A feeling lingers between the heart and the world.
And then, gravity takes over.
But what if that moment could be held?
Before It Falls was designed around that question. A smaller, clear pear-cut moissanite rests above a vivid colored gemstone, like a drop of light suspended over a memory.
In Dellyrica's design interpretation, the clear stone represents an emotion in its most fleeting form; the colored gemstone represents what remains when that emotion becomes a memory. Together, they turn a simple double-teardrop silhouette into a private keepsake.
Some tears are not meant to fall, but to be kept.

Materials, Size, and What $189 Includes
Before choosing a gemstone necklace as a gift, it's worth checking the stone type, metal, and chain length. Here's what the four Before It Falls designs share.
| Detail | Before It Falls specification |
|---|---|
| Center gemstone | Lab-grown ruby, sapphire, or emerald (depending on color) |
| Center stone size | 7 × 10 mm, pear cut |
| Accent | One 2.5 × 3.5 mm pear-cut D-color moissanite, approx. 0.09 ct |
| Base metal | 925 sterling silver |
| Finish | 14K gold vermeil |
| Chain | 16" + 1" + 1" adjustable box chain (approx. 16, 17, or 18 in) |
| Listed price | $189 per necklace |
The stones are described precisely: the colored center is lab-grown; the clear accent is moissanite, not diamond; and the gold vermeil finish is applied over a sterling silver base, not solid gold. This transparency helps you compare different jewelry gifts fairly.
An adjustable chain gives her options for the way the pendant sits with a neckline. If you're shopping for someone else, our necklace length guide explains how common lengths look and fit.
