How much does a real emerald pendant cost?
The price of a natural emerald pendant depends on the size, colour and clarity of the stone, the gold fineness, the diamonds and the design of the piece. In this collection, a gold chain with a “Forever” pendant, diamonds and 0.25 ct emeralds costs 1 349 Eur, and during a promotion its price may be 944 Eur.
Can emeralds be worn every day?
Yes, emerald jewellery can be worn every day, but it should be protected from knocks. Emerald has a hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, so it is fairly resistant to scratches, but because of its natural internal inclusions it can crack or chip.
It is recommended to remove your jewellery before exercising, doing housework or gardening. Emeralds are best cleaned with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners, as they can damage the stone or its treatment. It is best to store the piece separately in a soft pouch so that it does not come into contact with harder gemstones, such as diamonds.
Can a jeweller tell if an emerald is real?
Yes, a professional jeweller or gemmologist can distinguish a real emerald from glass, plastic and other simple imitations. The stone is examined under a jeweller’s loupe or a microscope, assessing its structure, how light travels through it and its natural internal inclusions.
Natural emeralds often show fine veins, fractures and moss-like inclusions known as jardin (“garden”). Glass imitations more often contain round air bubbles or swirls. Distinguishing a natural emerald from a high-quality laboratory-grown stone can be more difficult, so an accurate assessment sometimes requires testing by a gemmological laboratory.
Which gold colour goes best with emeralds?
Yellow gold is the classic choice, bringing out the rich green colour of the emerald and adding warmth to the piece. It is particularly well suited to elegant, traditionally styled jewellery.
White gold creates a cooler, more modern look, highlights the bluish-green tones of the emerald and pairs beautifully with diamonds. Rose gold offers a soft, romantic contrast and looks especially striking with lighter green stones. The best option depends on the style you want and the shade of the emerald.
What does an emerald necklace symbolise?
An emerald necklace or chain symbolises love, loyalty, renewal and inner harmony. The stone’s rich green colour has long been associated with nature, vitality, wisdom and prosperity. Thanks to these meanings, an emerald necklace can be a meaningful gift for a loved one or a symbol of special moments in life.
