Emerald
WHAT IS AN EMERALD?
Emerald is one stone that in popularity comes right after Diamonds. With its vibrant green color, emeralds have been around since 1500 BC and the first ones known to man have been mined in Egypt. The Emerald comes from a beryl mineral family, which comes in rich and distinctly green color. It is no wonder that the beauty of this stone captivated people around the globe. What sets the price of the Emerald alongside its clarity, cut and carat weight is its color. Once the gemstone has been evaluated on the 4 C's criteria, a final grade is given to the gem. The final grade falls on a scale of AAA – D, with AAA being near perfect and D being a poor quality gemstone.The most vivid green colored Emeralds with no inclusions usually have the highest price.
