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
💎 Classic Step Cut
The parallel facets create broad flashes of light rather than intense sparkle, highlighting the deep green body colour of this individual beryl specimen.
✨ Bench Ready
Supplied as a loose stone for your jeweller to integrate into a custom claw or bezel setting designed for your specific metal choice.
🔷 Bespoke Potential
The clean rectangular lines lend themselves well to architectural ring designs or structured pendant drops that emphasise traditional geometry.
📦 Exactly What Is Pictured
The photographs and video show this gemstone. You receive the gemstone pictured, not a lookalike.
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 May birthday present for a gemstone lover
- A custom pendant commissioned for a collector
- A jeweller stocking the bench for a bespoke project
- A milestone anniversary gift featuring classic green beryl

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 7.85 x 5.7 x 3.8 mm and weighs 1.2 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How should this stone be set?
Your jeweller should use corner protection such as V-shaped prongs or a full bezel to shield the vulnerable ninety-degree corners from accidental impacts during daily wear.
Is the material durable for daily wear?
Beryl sits high enough on the hardness scale to resist everyday scratching, but the internal inclusions common to the species mean it requires care around hard surfaces.
How do I clean this gemstone?
Wash the set stone gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips or mechanical cleaning methods that could affect the surface.
What makes the emerald cut unique?
The cut features cropped corners and large, open table facets that showcase internal character rather than high brilliance, making transparency and colour paramount.
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?
