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
💎 Classic Step Facets
The rectangular cut with corner truncations offers a traditional architectural look that showcases body colour directly through the open table facet.
✨ Versatile Bench Material
The stone is robust enough for regular wear in pendants and earrings, though rings require careful bezel protection to guard the vulnerable corners.
🔷 Distinctive Internal Garden
Natural growth signatures run through the material, providing immediate visual proof of its organic origin to any experienced collector or gemmologist.

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 collector adding to a beryl suite
- A jeweller stocking a custom bench project
- A custom gift for a mineral enthusiast

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 3.1 x 3.7 x 3.9 mm and weighs 0.7 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How should a jeweller set this stone?
A bezel setting provides the best edge protection for the sharp corners of an emerald cut. Prong settings work well too, provided the metalworker takes care at the four corners during tightening.
Is the stone suitable for everyday ring wear?
The hardness on the Mohs scale allows for daily use, but caution is necessary with heavy impacts. Pendants and brooches face fewer hazards and make very safe choices for this material.
How do I clean the stone safely?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove surface oils from the pavilion. Avoid harsh chemicals and mechanical cleaning methods that might reach internal fractures.
Why does the green colour vary across the stone?
Trace amounts of chromium and vanadium create the green body colour in beryl. Natural zoning often leads to subtle shifts in tone across the length of the crystal.
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?
