Why Buy Precious Emeralds Online – Venus Jewellers

An emerald is one of the most precious gemstones in the beryl group (one of the most notable gemstone families). The name is derived from a Greek word ‘smaragdos’ meaning ‘green stone’. This green coloured stone is also considered one of the most valuable of four of all gemstones, which also includes ruby, sapphire, and diamond. Owing to its appeal and the beauty, emeralds are widely used in various ornaments, desirable by many men and women all over the world.

Emerald in its natural state contains some fissures and cracks, and because of which it is quite easy to identify and distinguish natural emeralds amongst other similar gemstones. Apart from this when an artificial light is passed through an emerald, it will expose and magnify inclusions and cracks that prove the stone to be a natural emerald. The colour of the emerald is due to the presence of traces of chromium and vanadium, and the best way to observe the colour of an emerald is in natural light. Although the stone belongs to a beryl group and is so harder than apatite, quartz, and feldspar, but it is slightly softer than spinel, sapphire, and topaz.

The colour: In case of identifying an original emerald, it is the colour of the stone that plays a major detrimental factor. In general, emerald is a medium to darker green to blue-green and sometimes slightly yellowish-green beryl stone. The most precious among these is slightly bluish green, however too much hues of blue can lower its value.

Stone clarity and lustre: The stone has glass like lustre when cut and polished. Although, the clarity of the stone may vary from translucent to opaque, but the transparent ones are more desirable and much more valued.

Cut and shape: Cut and the shape of the stone is another important factor that is to be considered while purchasing a quality emerald. The cutting style enhances the colour and the beauty of the stone, whilst protecting it from mechanical shock and internal stress.
