Emeralds
Emeralds have long been celebrated for their rich green colour and timeless elegance. Worn by royalty and admired across cultures, emeralds are one of the most sought-after coloured gemstones in fine jewellery.
What Is an Emerald?
Emerald is a variety of the mineral beryl, coloured green by trace amounts of chromium or vanadium. The finest emeralds are intensely saturated with a vibrant green tone, though they can range from light to deep forest green.
Almost all emeralds contain internal features known as “jardin” (French for garden), formed naturally as the crystal grows. These inclusions are part of the stone’s identity and are considered a hallmark of genuine emeralds rather than a flaw.
Colombian Emeralds
Colombia is known as the premier source for emeralds, producing stones with exceptional clarity and colour. Zambian and Brazilian emeralds are also highly regarded for their deep green hues and durability.
Symbolism
Emeralds have symbolised rebirth, growth and love for thousands of years. They are associated with clarity of thought, intuition and renewal, making them a meaningful choice for special occasions and personal milestones.
