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 classic rectangular outline and parallel facets provide a sophisticated look that highlights colour intensity and internal depth over fiery dispersion.
✨ Dependable Hardness
With a favourable position on the Mohs scale, this beryl variety stands up well to daily wear when mounted in protective bezel or prong settings.
🔷 Distinctive Green Hue
The saturated green shade makes this piece an ideal centre stone for a custom cocktail ring, a distinctive pendant, or a dedicated mineral collection.

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 custom pendant for a May birthday
- A jeweller stocking the bench
- A collector of green beryl specimens
- A bespoke cocktail ring project

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 6.3 x 5.4 x 3.2 mm and weighs 0.75 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How should this stone be set for daily wear?
An experienced jeweller will recommend a bezel setting or protective corner claws to shield the vulnerable corners of the emerald cut from accidental impacts. This ensures the stone remains secure during everyday use.
How does this compare to other green gems?
While tourmaline and peridot offer alternative green hues, emerald remains unmatched for its deep, saturated forest tones and unique internal character. Its specific crystal structure and inclusion profile set it apart from all other green mineral species.
What is the best way to clean this beryl variety?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove everyday oils and debris from the surface. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and mechanical cleaning systems that could compromise the stone.
Is this suitable for a birthstone jewellery project?
As the traditional birthstone for May, this material makes a meaningful centrepiece for a custom anniversary gift or a personal milestone piece. Your maker can easily design a custom mounting around its specific proportions.
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.
