Emerald

Emerald is the rich green variety of the beryl family, prized for its vivid color and historical prestige. Its green hue is caused by trace amounts of chromium and/or vanadium, and it has been revered for thousands of years as a stone of vitality, wisdom, and growth. With a Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8, emerald is a durable gemstone, though its internal inclusions — often called “jardin” — require mindful handling during wear and setting.

The finest emeralds are sourced from Colombia, Zambia, and Brazil, each region producing stones with distinct character. Colombian emeralds tend to exhibit intense saturation with minimal bluish undertone, while Zambian emeralds are known for their cooler, slightly bluish-green tones and improved clarity. Most emeralds are cut in step-cut or cushion shapes to protect the stone’s structural integrity and emphasize color.

Emerald is the birthstone for May and is traditionally associated with the zodiac sign Taurus. It is believed to enhance intuition, emotional balance, and enduring love — making it a popular choice for symbolic and heirloom jewelry.

Our emerald offerings range from refined collector-grade specimens to more accessible options — all natural, well-proportioned, and selected for their genuine beauty and energy. We carry a variety of sizes and quality tiers to accommodate every buyer, without compromising overall gem integrity.

To clean emeralds, use only mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and chemical exposure, as emeralds are often internally fractured and may be sensitive to sudden temperature changes or harsh solutions. Store separately from other stones to avoid scratching and preserve their natural charm.
