Emeralds - Loose
Emeralds are the green variety of the mineral beryl, coloured by traces of chromium or vanadium, and graded above all on the depth and evenness of that green. Most emeralds carry natural inclusions — the jardin — and nearly all are oiled or resin-filled to soften the look of surface-reaching fractures. Our emeralds do not come from our own mines: they are hand-selected by our FGAA gemmologist from cutters we have dealt with for years, then graded and disclosed in Sydney to the same standard we apply to sapphires from our own Ceylon gem fields.
