Gold Emerald Bracelets

The emerald has long been associated with love, fidelity, harmony and renewal. Its rich green colour also symbolises nature, vitality, hope and prosperity. Because of these meanings, a gold emerald bracelet can be a meaningful gift for a loved one or a distinctive personal talisman.

The price of an emerald bracelet depends on the gold fineness and weight, the size and quality of the emeralds, any additional gemstones, the design and the complexity of the craftsmanship. In this collection, gold emerald tennis bracelets “Melody” start from 2 799 Eur, while the gold diamond and emerald bracelet “Exclusive” costs 5 704 Eur with the discount applied.

Yes, an experienced jeweller or gemmologist can usually tell a genuine emerald apart from glass, plastic or other inexpensive imitations. The stone is examined through a jeweller’s loupe or under a microscope, and its internal characteristics, crystal structure and reaction to light are assessed. Natural emeralds usually show tiny inclusions and fissures, known as “jardin”, while glass imitations may contain round air bubbles or swirls.

Distinguishing a natural emerald from a high-quality laboratory-grown stone can be more difficult. In that case, a detailed examination at an independent gemmological laboratory and a certificate confirming the stone’s authenticity and any treatment may be needed.

Yes, but it should be protected from hard knocks and worn with extra care. Emerald rates around 7.5–8 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it is fairly scratch-resistant, but its natural internal inclusions can make it more brittle and prone to chipping if struck. As bracelets often come into contact with tables, walls and other hard surfaces, it is advisable to take the piece off during sport, household chores or manual work.

The bracelet is best cleaned with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Ultrasonic and steam cleaning are not suitable for emeralds, as they can damage the stone or the filler used to treat it. Store the piece separately in a soft pouch so that it is not scratched by harder gemstones such as diamonds.

Emerald quality is assessed by colour, clarity, cut, origin and any treatment. The most valuable stones have a rich, evenly distributed green or bluish-green colour. Very pale, yellowish or brownish emeralds are usually valued lower.

Natural emeralds almost always contain inclusions, so flawless clarity is not an essential sign of quality. What matters is that the inclusions do not unduly obstruct the passage of light or weaken the stone. A quality cut helps bring out the colour, ensures even light reflection and protects the emerald’s most vulnerable edges. A quality certificate is the most reliable confirmation of the stone’s authenticity, properties and any treatment applied.
