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
💎 Stepped Facet Geometry
The linear facets create wide flashes of light rather than scattered brilliance, making precise alignment crucial when your jeweller designs the final mounting.
✨ Durable Mineral Hardness
Sitting comfortably high on the Mohs scale, this stone resists everyday scratching well enough for regular ring wear when properly secured.
🔷 Distinctive Green Hue
The characteristic chromium and vanadium trace elements provide a verdant colour that stands out clearly in both yellow gold and platinum settings.

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 May birthday present for someone born under this sign
- A jeweller stocking the bench for a custom commission
- A collector seeking a classic step cut green beryl
- An anniversary gift for a partner who loves green stones

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 5.2 x 4.4 x 3.4 mm and weighs 0.56 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
What setting style works best for this emerald cut?
A bezel setting or notched corner prongs will protect the vulnerable ninety degree corners from accidental impact. Your jeweller can advise on custom gallery designs that allow light to enter from the underside.
Is this stone tough enough for daily wear?
With a hardness comparable to aquamarine and morganite, this beryl handles normal daily use reliably. However, you should remove the jewellery before heavy manual labour or contact sports.
How should I clean this gemstone at home?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dust and oils from the pavilion facets. Avoid harsh chemical dips or steam cleaning, which can damage internal features.
Why do emerald cut stones look different from round brilliants?
The step cut style focuses on geometric symmetry and broad planes of colour rather than maximum sparkle. This creates a more architectural appearance that highlights the purity of the body colour.
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.
