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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 6.7 x 4.65 x 2.7 mm and weighs 0.57 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How should this stone be set?
A protective bezel or V-shaped corner prongs work best to shield the vulnerable corners of the emerald cut from accidental impacts. Your jeweller can advise on the ideal metal choice to complement the green colour.
Is the hardness suitable for everyday rings?
The mineral species possesses adequate durability for regular ring wear, provided you take sensible precautions against hard knocks. Pendant or earring settings offer an even safer alternative for long term preservation.
What causes the green colour in emeralds?
Trace amounts of chromium, vanadium, and iron within the beryl crystal lattice produce the varied green shades. Natural inclusions are entirely normal for the species and help confirm its origin.
How does it compare to other green stones?
Unlike green tourmaline or peridot, emerald offers a softer, more velvety hue caused by its unique internal growth features. Its distinct absorption spectrum sets it apart from all other green gems.
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.
