About Emerald as a Gemstone
Emerald is the green variety of beryl, a beryllium aluminium silicate coloured by chromium and sometimes vanadium. Colour is the dominant value factor, judged on hue, tone and saturation. Most emerald contains inclusions, traditionally called the jardin, which are accepted as part of the character of the stone. You can read more via gemmological reference, mineral data.
Emerald requires an unusual pairing: beryllium, which is rare in the crust, must meet chromium or vanadium, which normally occur in entirely different rock types. That geochemical accident happens only where tectonic activity forces the two together, which is why emerald deposits are few and widely scattered.
Why You Will Love This Gemstone
💎 Geometric Step Cut
The rectangular facets create wide flashes of green light rather than fiery dispersion, making this cut ideal for a classic cocktail ring or a bespoke pendant.
✨ Substantial Hardness
Ranging high on the Mohs scale, this beryl variety stands up well to regular mounting and everyday use when set securely by an experienced bench jeweller.
🔷 Distinctive Green Hue
The characteristic colour profile of chromium and vanadium rich beryl provides an unmistakable presence that stands out against both yellow and white precious metals.

Popular Uses
Emerald is used across fine jewellery, from solitaire rings to pendants and earrings. Because it is more included than corundum, protective settings such as bezels are often preferred for pieces that will be worn frequently. A Emerald of this size works particularly well as the centre stone in a bespoke piece.
Ideal For
- A bespoke pendant for a May birthday
- A jeweller stocking the workbench for a client
- A collector of classic green beryl specimens
- A custom ring project for daily wear

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 7.4 x 6.8 x 4 mm and weighs 1.53 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How should this stone be set in jewellery?
A bezel setting or V-shaped prongs are strongly recommended for this cut to protect the vulnerable right-angle corners from accidental knocks. Your jeweller can advise on the best metal choice to complement the deep green body colour.
Is this emerald suitable for daily wear?
With a hardness placing it high on the Mohs scale, this material resists everyday scratching well, though care should still be taken around hard surfaces. Pendants and earrings face fewer hazards than rings, making them a safer option for constant wear.
What is the best way to clean this stone?
Wash the set stone gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dust from beneath the setting. Avoid harsh chemical dips or steam cleaning which can compromise the structural integrity of emerald.
Why does the emerald cut look different from other cuts?
The step cut design uses long, straight facets arranged parallel to the girdle, creating a hall-of-mirrors effect. This style highlights the natural transparency and colour saturation of the material rather than creating brilliant sparkle.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
We contact you directly as soon as your order is placed to arrange delivery, so you always know where the parcel is. Returns are accepted within 7 days of the date you receive the item.
Are your stones natural, or are any of them synthetic?
Everything we sell is 100% natural. We do not deal in synthetic or laboratory-grown material, and we do not hide anything about a piece: the photographs are shot to show every detail, including the ones a seller might prefer you did not see.
Will I receive the exact stone shown in the photos and video?
Yes. Each listing covers one individual stone, and the media on this page was shot from that stone. Once it sells, the listing comes down.
