Emerald

💎 What is Emerald?

Emerald is the most precious green variety of beryl, a fascinating stone that owes its intense hue to the presence of chromium and, in some cases, vanadium . Loved since ancient times for its unique and brilliant color, emerald is considered one of the most refined and desirable gems in the world.

🌍 Origins and Characteristics

• Mineral family: Beryl

• Color: Deep green (yellowish green to bluish green)

• Hardness: 7.5 – 8 on the Mohs scale

• Main deposits: Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia

Emeralds, unlike diamonds, almost always have natural inclusions called “gardens” , which are considered not defects but distinctive signs of authenticity and uniqueness.

✂️ The Perfect Cut

To enhance its beauty and protect the gem, the celebrated emerald cut was created, rectangular with rounded corners. This cut enhances brilliance and reduces the risk of breakage, making it the most popular choice for this extraordinary gem.
