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 Facets
The parallel facet arrangement creates broad flashes of light rather than pinfire sparkle, which emphasizes the rich green body colour of the material.
✨ Architectural Cut
Cropped corners and straight edges provide a structured outline that suits vintage mounting styles and geometric bezels designed by your jeweller.
🔷 Collector Specimen
This loose stone offers an opportunity for mineral enthusiasts and bench jewellers to design a custom mounting tailored to its precise optical profile.
📦 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 custom pendant for a May birthday
- A bespoke ring project for a collector
- A bench jeweller stocking unique inventory
- A milestone anniversary gift for her

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 5.4 x 5.4 x 2.6 mm and weighs 0.56 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How should this stone be set in jewellery?
Your jeweller should use a protective bezel setting or robust corner claws to shield the vulnerable corners from direct impacts during daily wear. The stepped facet style pairs particularly well with side accent diamonds in a classic three stone arrangement.
Is the material durable enough for daily wear?
Beryl possesses a hardness rating that places it comfortably toward the upper end of the scale, meaning it resists scratching from most household materials. However, care should still be taken to avoid sharp blows due to the natural inclusion patterns inherent to the species.
What causes the green colour in emeralds?
The distinct coloration arises from trace amounts of chromium, vanadium, and sometimes iron interacting with the crystal lattice during formation. These elements create the rich botanical shades that distinguish this variety from other forms of beryl.
How do I clean this gemstone safely?
Wash the stone using warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft bristled brush to remove accumulated oils from the setting. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and mechanical systems that might compromise the structural integrity of the material.
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.
