Emeralds are among the most precious of natural gemstones, alongside rubies,
sapphires and diamonds.Emeralds are by far the most stunning and popular
of the green color
gemstones. For centuries, they have been among the most sought after
and
valuable gemstones symbolizing rebirth and love.
Emeralds are found in hues ranging from yellow-green to blue-green, with
the primary
hue being green. The most desirable emerald colors are
bluish green to green, with
vivid saturation and medium to medium dark
tone.
They also have a good level of fire and brilliance which makes them ideal gemstones for open settings.When wearing emeralds, emerald cuts, ovals and other shapes without pointed facet corners are the safest.
Extra care should be taken when handling emeralds as they are more
fragile than other forms of beryl. Avoid wearing emerald jewelry when
working with harsh chemicals or household cleaners, such as bleach or
acid. When cleaning, you can use warm soapy water and a tissue or a soft
cloth. Be sure to rinse the stones well to remove all soapy residue.
