The Art of Crafting Emeralds at Gemerald Gems
At Gemerald Gems, we believe that every emerald tells a story. A story of nature’s marvel, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. Our journey with emeralds is not just about selling a gemstone; it’s about presenting nature’s art in its most refined form.
Emeralds: The Gem of Eternity
With their mesmerizing deep green hue, Emeralds have been a symbol of beauty, power, and eternal life for centuries. But what exactly are emeralds, and what makes them so special?
What Are Emeralds?
Emeralds are a variant of the beryl mineral species. Their enchanting green color primarily comes from trace amounts of chromium, though vanadium can sometimes be the source of their coloration.
A Historical Jewel:
From the gold Incan funerary masks with emerald eyes to being Cleopatra’s favorite gem, emeralds have been revered across cultures and epochs.
Ancient civilizations like the Aztecs and Incas considered emeralds sacred. They continue to be a prized gem that enthusiasts, celebrities, and monarchs all adore.
The Many Shades of Beryl:
While emeralds are the most renowned, beryl comes in a spectrum of colors: red, pink, light blue, dark blue, yellow, and even colorless. Interestingly, beryl’s lighter shade of green is legally distinguished as a separate gem color.
Customer Assurance:
Our membership with the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA) is a testament to our commitment to quality and authenticity.
Misidentifications of the Past
Historically, gem differentiation was based more on color than composition. Hence, any clear red gem was labeled a ruby, and any green stone, an emerald. This has led to some famous misidentifications, like the Black Prince’s Ruby, which is, in reality, a red spinel.
The Durability of Emeralds
Despite being brittle due to their inclusions, Emeralds boast a commendable hardness of 7.5-8 on the Moh’s scale. They retain their color under diverse conditions and are resilient enough for daily wear. However, it’s advisable not to wear emerald jewelry with bleach, as it can damage the metal setting.
Unique Appearances
Emeralds occasionally form a trapiche pattern, a six-armed design distinct from the stars seen on rubies and sapphires. This pattern arises from the crystal’s physical formation. Another rare phenomenon in emeralds is the cat’s eye effect.
Did You know?
- The first chemical analysis of emeralds was published by Nicolas Louis Vauquelin at the end of the 18th century.
- Always store emeralds separately to prevent scratches from other jewelry.
- Clean emeralds with mild soapy water and a soft brush to maintain their luster.
- Emeralds are believed to bring good fortune and symbolize rebirth and love.
In essence, emeralds are not just gems but a reflection of nature’s artistry and mankind’s appreciation of beauty. - Whether you wear them for their aesthetic appeal or historical significance, emeralds will captivate and enchant.
