The emerald captivates with its intense, deep green color. A member of the beryl family, it is one of the four precious gemstones, alongside the diamond, ruby, and sapphire. A unique alternative to the diamond engagement ring, it adds character and elegance to every design.
Often set against a backdrop of diamonds, the emerald reveals the full richness of its color and captures the light with intensity.
Origin and characteristics
The finest emeralds come mainly from Colombia, but also from Zambia and Brazil. They are distinguished by their natural inclusions, known as “frosting,” which attest to the stone’s authenticity and are an integral part of its identity.
How do you choose an emerald?
When choosing an emerald, color is the most important factor. The most sought-after stones feature a vivid green, with a slight blue tint, that is both bright and deep.
Since emeralds are naturally more delicate than diamonds, they require special care in everyday use, particularly when it comes to impacts or temperature changes.
