Emerald Buying Guide

Check its Origin:

Today, four countries account for the majority of emerald production: Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe. These countries consistently produce wholesale quantities of emeralds. Minor or irregular production comes from Madagascar, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Canada, Russia, and a handful of other nations.

Over 70% of all emeralds on the market are sourced from Colombia, which generates typically bluish-green emeralds. Nevertheless, Zambia produces the finest emeralds.

Observe their Color:

Emerald is distinguished by the color green. To qualify as an emerald, a specimen must possess a green hue that ranges from bluish green to green to lightly yellowish green, and possess a brilliant and vivid green hue. In emeralds, the color must be evenly distributed throughout the stone, with no significant color zoning.

Notice their Clarity:

The most desirable emeralds have a tone that is neither too light or too dark. When the emerald gemstone is too light it can appear pale and inexpensive, whereas an emerald that is too dark lacks the distinctive vibrancy and color of an emerald.

Examine their Inclusions:

Inclusions are common in emeralds, and it is very difficult to find a flawless specimen. Liquids, gases, and trace minerals become entrapped in the stone during its formation. In fact, if the stone contains no inclusions, there is a high probability that it is not a natural emerald.

See their Shape:

Ideal shapes for enhancing the hue and brilliance of emeralds are symmetrical, open, and uniform. The emerald cut is one of the most traditional designs for an emerald. While this shape may be optimal for an emerald, the round cut is another very popular shape. This is an ideal cut for rings, particularly engagement rings, because it accentuates the emerald's radiance and luster and is incredibly refined when combined with diamonds.

Other prominent emerald shapes include oval, pear, cabochon, heart, and cushion.

Check the Carats:

For Emerald of gem quality, the raw Emerald is divided and polished into smaller stones of variable carat weight. In general, Emerald weighing between 2 and 6 carats are appropriate for jewelry. Because Emerald is sold by weight, Emerald prices are calculated per carat. Stones of comparable dimensions but distinct varieties vary greatly in price. The more carats and clarity Emerald has, the higher its price.

Avoid Heated & Treated Emerald:

Due to treatments the Emerald stone loses its natural composition and thus loses its natural frequency. These heated and treated Emerald do not offer any healing benefits and should be avoided.

How long do the effects of Emerald last?

For the best results it is highly recommended that one wears only 100% natural, unheated, and untreated Emerald gemstones. As per the Vedic scriptures, a heat treatment harms its sattvic nature, rendering the stone less effective and beneficial. Like other gemstones, the quality of Emerald is also determined by the four Cs (Color, Cut, Carat, Clarity). 

Color

The best quality emeralds are pure green in color with vivid color saturation and tone that is not too dark. The color should be evenly distributed with no visible color zone.

Cut

Rough emerald gemstones can break due to their fissures. The best quality emeralds have cuts that maximize the effect of hue, tone, and saturation.

Carat

Emerald of 2 – 6 carat is most popular in Vedic Astrology. Significant smaller and larger Emeralds are used in contemporary jewelry. Generally, the price of Emerald rises as the size/weight/carat increases.

Clarity

In the case of emeralds, typically, they contain inclusions visible to the naked eye. Emeralds with no inclusions to the unaided eye are super-rare and valuable. Thus, the emeralds with some inclusions are readily accepted, traded and used. Emeralds with the least inclusions and best clarity are considered of premium quality.

Traders deal in emeralds which are synthetic to natural but which are treated/heated and color enhanced, so it is immensely important to purchase only from a reputed dealer with certification from a reputed lab.

Emerald gemstone Price

Today, emerald, ruby, and sapphire constitute the "big three" of colored gemstones. These "big three" generate more revenue than the combined value of all other colored stones in the world. Since 2015, the value of emeralds shipped into the United States surpassed the total value of the other gemstones included in the "big three".

Common treatments have a significant impact on emerald value and final price tag but are rarely discussed. The overwhelming majority of emeralds are treated with oil or resin fillers to improve their clarity. In the gemstones market as a whole, untreated emeralds of significant size and weight that have not been treated are a rarity.

However, you should prefer untreated emeralds to reap the benefits of their numerous beneficial properties. When a gemstone is heat-treated or undergoes the dying process, its healing properties are lost when it is worn. Emerald has numerous curative properties; to maximize its curative effects, only untreated Emerald stone should be worn.

The price of genuine, natural and unheated, untreated Emerald gemstones at Rudra Centre ranges from INR 30,720 to INR 6,52,320 (USD 384 to USD 8.154).

How to Identify or Test Original & Authentic Emerald?

The best way to check the authenticity of Emerald is by getting a Lab tested report from a reputed laboratory. Rudra Centre only deals with Vedic Astrology approved gemstones that are natural, untreated, and unheated. All our Emeralds are certified by reputable labs like GIA, GLI, IGI and IGITL.

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Emerald carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that an Emerald is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Emeralds have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Emeralds, but if you find flaws, then your Emerald is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Emeralds are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Emerald. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Emerald, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Emerald from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Emerald. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Emerald. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.

Emerald Cleaning & Maintenance

When dirt collects on the surface of emeralds, they can appear greasy and filmy. If you do not want to take it to a professional jeweler for cleaning, you can easily and effectively clean it at home with soap and water.

Choose a gentle liquid soap and mix it with warm water to create a sudsy solution. Use a soft cloth or toothbrush to gently clean your emerald jewelry by placing it in this solution. Try to reach the hard-to-reach areas, as this is where the majority of the dirt will accumulate.

After this, thoroughly rinse the emerald jewelry under running water to remove all traces of soap. Use a lint-free cloth to remove excess moisture before storing or wearing the garment.

Ultrasonic cleaners should never be used on emeralds due to the stone's susceptibility to fracture.
