What distinguishes emeralds as gemstones?

Along with the diamond, ruby and sapphire, the emerald is one of the classic gemstones that have all the typical characteristics: a certain rarity, its own transparency and a Mohs hardness of over 7 – in the case of the emerald it is 7.5-8. Predestined for processing in fine jewelry.

Emeralds are a variety of the mineral beryl, blue forms are called aquamarine, pink ones are called morganite, yellow ones are called gold beryl or helidor, whereas the green ones are called emerald. The color is created, much like colored diamonds, by the inclusion of certain substances in the crystal lattice of the gemstone. In the case of emerald, it is chromium that gives the stone its typical deep green colour.

As with diamonds, emeralds are graded by weight in carat, colour, clarity and quality of cut – the well-known 4C. The shape usually chosen is the emerald cut, a step or stair cut with a large table. This brings out the best of the emerald, its clarity, brilliance and colour.

Emeralds often have more or less strong inclusions that can be seen with the naked eye, eye-clean or flawless stones are very rare and expensive. These small birthmarks, however, interfere with the emerald less than, for example, more included colourless diamonds.

What are the types of emerald bracelets?

Currently, pure diamond bracelets are particularly popular, bangles or bracelets set only with emeralds are less popular today than, for example, at the time of the Art Deco. Emeralds are particularly beautiful when combined with accompanying or surrounding diamonds. The emerald for colour and sparkle, the diamonds for added fire and sparkle, a perfect liaison.

A good example is the tennis bracelet, which can alternate between a diamond and an emerald, or a classic bangle in the form of a slave bracelet, partly set with diamonds and partly with emeralds.
