EMERALDS, Why are they so valuble?

Emerald gemstones are known for their stunning green colour and are considered one of the most valuable gems in the world. But what makes them so special? Let's dive into the world of emeralds and explore why they are highly sought after for engagement rings.

What Makes Emeralds Valuable?

Emeralds are valued based on their colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight, much the same as Diamonds. The most prized emeralds have a vivid green hue with a slight blue undertone, known as "emerald green." The presence of inclusions, or natural imperfections, is common in emeralds and can affect their value. A well-cut emerald will enhance its colour and brilliance, making it even more valuable.

Why Emeralds are Perfect for Engagement Rings

Emeralds have long been associated with love and fertility, making them a popular choice for engagement rings. Their vibrant green colour symbolizes growth, renewal, and eternal love, making them a meaningful choice for couples. Additionally, emeralds are durable gemstones, ranking 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making them suitable for everyday wear.
