When asking yourself what to look for when buying emerald jewelry, the first thing to come to mind should be the color of the gemstone.

Clarity: Emeralds, a type of beryl, are inherently a fractured material. It takes millions of years for an emerald to form and part of its beauty is the characteristics of its natural fractures and inclusions. Many precious stones have inclusions or spots within the stone, but emeralds are actually one of the most included stones on today’s market. Inclusions in emeralds are often referred to as jardin, which is French for ‘gardens’.

These inclusions are quite common and even found within high quality emeralds, therefore they have been accepted by the commercial jewelry industry.

Cut: The cut is the overall shape, width, depth, and faceting of an emerald. The cutters strive to maximize the emerald’s color and brilliance within each unique piece. While the end product depends on the specific emerald found in the mine, it also depends on the expertise and vision of the cutter. Every single cut is with the intention of bringing out the gemstone’s uniqueness and natural beauty.

Carat Weight: Emeralds come in all different sizes. Most gemstones are priced solely on their carat weight, but prices for emeralds are mainly based on the color, cut and clarity. Large emeralds are hard to find though, and thus command a higher price. Experts agree that a smaller emerald with brilliant color quality is more valuable than a larger one with poor color quality.

Colombian emeralds range from 0.01 carats to over 200 carats of polished gemstone.
