All About Emeralds
Guide to Emeralds
Emeralds are a variety of the mineral beryl, which typically have a green hue due to the presence of chromium, vanadium, or both. The most valuable and sought-after emeralds have a deep green hue, and sometimes, they are even more valuable than diamonds. Emeralds are formed deep within the earth's crust, where high pressure and temperatures cause beryllium, aluminum, and silicon to crystallize and form beryl. Over time, chromium and/or vanadium infiltrate the beryl and cause it to take on this iconic green hue. These marvelous gemstones are perfect for vibrant, luxurious jewelry.
What Makes Emeralds Special?
What makes emeralds special is their vibrant green color, which ranges from pale mint to deep, rich verdant. The most valuable emeralds are those with a deep green hue and high clarity. Emeralds are also considered special because they are the birthstone for those born in May, and they are often associated with feelings of love and success. Emeralds used in jewelry to symbolize rebirth, growth, and hope. Paired with precious metals like gold and sterling silver, they create an unforgettable display of light and color.
