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 linear facets of this emerald cut create broad flashes of green light rather than fiery dispersion, offering a traditional and sophisticated appearance on the bench.
✨ Bench Confidence
With a hardness sitting securely towards the upper end of the scale, this stone handles careful setting by an experienced jeweller without undue risk.
🔷 Distinctive Green Hue
The characteristic chromium and vanadium coloration gives this beryl specimen a saturated tone that anchors well in both yellow gold and platinum.

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 a bespoke bench

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 6 x 5.3 x 2.6 mm and weighs 0.63 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How should this stone be set?
An experienced jeweller will secure this stone well using a protective bezel or tightly angled corner prongs to guard the sharp step cut corners from impact. The flat table makes it particularly straightforward to align correctly in custom mountings.
Is this material durable for daily wear?
With a robust hardness rating, this gem stands up well to regular daily use in pendants, earrings, or carefully designed cocktail rings. However, you should always remove it during heavy manual tasks to prevent accidental sharp knocks.
What is the best way to clean this gemstone?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to clean around the setting, ensuring you rinse it thoroughly with clean water afterwards. Avoid harsh chemical dips or steam cleaning which can compromise certain internal features.
How does this compare to other green gems?
Unlike tourmaline or peridot, emerald belongs to the beryl family and brings a distinct bluish green to pure green spectrum coupled with a high refractive index. Its unique internal character sets it apart from synthetic alternatives and other natural green species.
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?

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.
