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 rectangular facets and cropped corners provide an open window into the interior, highlighting the genuine green body colour and distinct internal character.
✨ Setting Considerations
Your jeweller should use corner prongs or a protective bezel to secure the stone safely while protecting the vulnerable sharp corners from impact.
🔷 Beryl Durability
With a hardness placing it securely on the upper end of common jewellery minerals, this stone tolerates regular wear when mounted thoughtfully in protective mountings.

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 bespoke pendant for a May birthday
- A jeweller stocking a custom bench

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Emerald?
This stone measures 7.7 x 6 x 3.2 mm and weighs 1.24 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
What type of setting works best for an emerald cut?
A bezel setting or V-prong corners offer the best structural security for this cut style. These methods protect the vulnerable right-angle corners from accidental chips during daily wear.
How does this compare to other green gems?
Unlike tourmaline or peridot, emerald possesses a distinctive chromium-based green that often includes characteristic internal growth features. Its step cut emphasizes depth of colour over high fire.
Is this stone suitable for a daily wear ring?
The mineral hardness makes it viable for rings if mounted securely, though pendants and earrings experience far fewer impacts over time. Discuss your daily routine with your jeweller before deciding on a mounting.
How should I clean this emerald jewellery?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove oils and dust from the pavilion facets. Avoid harsh chemical dips or steam cleaners which can damage 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.
