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
💎 Step Facet Geometry
The parallel steps create broad flashes of light rather than pinfire sparkle, showing off the deep body colour of this individual stone.
✨ Setting Considerations
Your jeweller should protect the vulnerable corners of this cut with custom v shaped prongs or a secure bezel during bench work.
🔷 Mineral Durability
Sitting comfortably high on the hardness scale, this beryl variety handles daily wear on a pendant or brooch with proper care.

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 jeweller stocking the bench for a client commission
- A birthday present for a May born collector
- A bespoke pendant project for a green gem enthusiast
- A loose mineral specimen for a cabinet collection

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 6.25 x 5.35 x 3.1 mm and weighs 0.7 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How should this stone be set into jewellery?
An emerald cut benefits from a bezel setting or corner claws to protect the sharp edges from impact. Your jeweller can advise on the best metal colour to complement the green tone.
Is this gem suitable for a daily wear ring?
While the material is reasonably durable, rings take more knocks than pendants or earrings. A protective setting helps keep the corners safe from accidental chips during everyday activities.
What causes the green colour in this material?
Trace amounts of chromium and vanadium within the beryl crystal lattice produce the characteristic green coloration. Natural growth features and internal characteristics often accompany these elements.
How does this compare to other green stones?
Unlike tourmaline or peridot, emerald possesses a distinct bluish green spectrum and characteristic internal features. Its stepped facet style emphasises depth and transparency over rainbow dispersion.
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.
