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 Facets
The linear facets create broad flashes of light rather than scattered sparkle, demanding high clarity and careful alignment from your jeweller during the bench work.
✨ Classic Emerald Cut
The clipped corners provide structural stability while lending a traditional architectural look that pairs well with various metal choices from yellow gold to platinum.
🔷 Dependable Hardness
Its position on the hardness scale allows for regular wear in earrings or pendants, though ring settings require protective metal work around the vulnerable edges.

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 seeking a classic step cut
- A jeweller stocking a custom bench project
- A custom gift for an emerald enthusiast

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 7.85 x 5.9 x 3.9 mm and weighs 1.46 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-prongs will protect the vulnerable corners of the rectangular shape from accidental knocks. Your jeweller can advise on the best metal thickness to secure the girdle properly.
Is this hardness suitable for a ring?
The material stands up to everyday use on the hand when mounted securely and worn with some care. Pendants and earrings face fewer hazards and require less caution during daily activities.
What is the best way to clean this gemstone?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dust or oils from the pavilion facets. Avoid harsh chemical dips or steam cleaning which can damage the internal structure.
Why does this cut look different from a round diamond?
Step cuts feature long rectangular facets arranged parallel to the girdle, creating a hall of mirrors effect instead of intense fire. This style prioritises rich body colour over high brilliance.
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.
