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 faceting style emphasises the rich colour and requires precise alignment by your setter to keep the corners secure.
✨ Reliable Hardness
This material stands up well to daily mounting when paired with protective metalwork that shields the vulnerable edges from direct impacts.
🔷 Collector Appeal
A classic example of green beryl suited for cabinet display or incorporation into a bespoke piece designed by a bench jeweller.
📦 Exactly What Is Pictured

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 of natural green beryl
- A bench jeweller stocking custom projects
- A serious mineral specimen enthusiast

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 6.1 x 6 x 3.4 mm and weighs 0.81 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 work best to protect the vulnerable right-angle corners from accidental chips. Your jeweller can advise on the most secure mounting style for your intended piece.
Is the material durable enough for daily wear?
The hardness sits comfortably high on the scale, making it resilient against everyday scratching. However, care should still be taken to avoid hard knocks against metal surfaces.
What is the best way to clean this gem?
Warm soapy water and a soft brush will safely remove oils and everyday buildup from the pavilion facets. Avoid harsh chemical dips or mechanical cleaning systems.
Why does this cut have stepped facets?
The rectangular shape with parallel steps was originally developed for green beryl to showcase the deep colour without creating excessive internal stress. It creates broad flashes of light rather than a brilliant scatter.
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.
