| Know Everything About Emeralds |
| Emerald Color, Clarity, Cut, Carat Weight, Saturation and more. Read More. |
|
Emerald Color: The finest quality emerald has the color of fresh young green grass- an almost pure spectral green, possibly with a very faint tint of blue. The highest quality emeralds have medium tone and are bright green with good color saturation. Color distribution should be uniform. Read

Emerald Saturation (color purity) is the brightness or vividness (dullness or drabness) of the color. It refers to the degree to which the hue is hidden by brown or gray. Colors with minimum amount of brown or gray are described as vivid or strong. For color purity GIA uses saturation and AGL uses intensity. Saturation can be "highly pure" and "slightly brownish
or grayish". Our emeralds are "slightly brownish or grayish." Read More.

|
Emerald Hue: refers to the basic colors of blue, gren, yellow, orange, red, purple and violet. All emeralds exhibit some other colors in addition to their basic green color. To determine the hue, look for the dominant color in the face-up view. When you move the stone in different directions you see the different colors. Read
More.
|
|
Emerald Tone: Refers to the depth of color (light or dark). The lighest possible tone is colorless. The darkest is black. Tone is another word for the degree of lightness or darkness. Judging the tone of a stone is difficult because it doesnot display a single, uniform tone. To judge the tone of a stone, examine it face-up and look for areas of light and dark. Columbian emerald is a deep
green with a very slight blue undertone and is considered the finest. African emerald is also a nice shade of green with a blue undertone with a slight darkening effect which makes it slightly less valuable than columbian. Emerald can have tones: "light-medium," "medium," "medium-dark," and "dark". We prefer emeralds with medium tones in rings & emerald jewelry. Read More.
|
|
Emerald Clarity: Clarity refers to the absence of internal flaws or inclusions. Type and placement of flaws are also very important. Flawless emeralds are so rare that inclusions are expected in genuine emerald. When there aren't any inclusions, one wonders if the stone is in fact an emerald. So placement of flaws are important when buying a emerald
in rings. Read More.
|
|
|
|
Emerald Cut: A good cut will enhance stones natural beauty to the fullest. A poor cutter make may make the same stone less desirable, because a poor cut will significantly reduce the vividness and alter the depth of the color (saturation), usually producing a stone that is too dark. Flaws are very common in emeralds and that is why cut of an emerald is important in not allowing these flaws to penetrate deep into the gem. Read More.

Emerald Jewelry Care, Cleaning and
Maintenance Tips: Emeralds with a hardness of 7.5 To
8 on The Moh's Scale are not exactly Soft Gemstones and cannot be easily
scratched. However as many emeralds mined across the world have inherent
inclusions and minute surface-reaching breaks, they can be easily chipped or
broken. Moreover today the gem industry has come up with a number of
alternatives to treat these fissures with oils and other fillers making them
less prominent to naked eyes. These Oils and filler enhancements used today on
many emeralds make special caring for the emerald jewelry essential and
inevitable. Read More.

Emerald History:
Green beryls are called emerald, blue aquamarine. Green emerald expresses
faithfullness and continuity. The coloring agent is chrome, sometimes vanadium.
The color is very stable against light and heat. The color distribution is often
irregular; a dark green is most desired. Only the fine specimens are
transparent. Often the emerald is clouded by inclusions. These are not
classified as faults, but as evidence to the genuineness of the emerald as
compared with synthetices.
