Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an emerald high-quality?
A high-quality emerald is characterized by its colour, clarity, size, and origin. The most desirable emeralds exhibit a deep, vivid green hue with minimal inclusions. Colombian emeralds are often considered the finest, but Zambian emeralds, with their deeper colour and better transparency, provide excellent alternatives.
How to care for emerald jewellery?
Emeralds require special care due to their natural inclusions. It is recommended to clean them with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, as these can damage the stone. Regular inspections by a professional jeweller can help maintain their beauty and integrity.
