What Is an Emerald?

Emerald is a green variety of the mineral beryl, coloured by traces of chromium and vanadium. Its vibrant green hue distinguishes it from all other gemstones and places emerald among the most valuable precious stones, alongside diamond, ruby and sapphire.

Natural emeralds often contain inclusions, known as jardin, which are accepted and celebrated as part of the gemstone’s character and authenticity.

The History of Emerald Jewellery

Emerald jewellery has a long and prestigious history:

  • Ancient Egyptians, including Cleopatra, prized emeralds for their beauty and power

  • Roman and Greek civilisations associated emeralds with wisdom and love

  • Royal families throughout Europe have worn emerald jewellery as a symbol of wealth and status

This historic significance continues to enhance the allure of emerald jewellery today.

Emerald Colour & Characteristics

Emeralds are admired for:

  • Deep green to vivid bluish-green colour

  • Natural inclusions that confirm authenticity

  • Transparent to translucent appearance

Key properties include:

  • Mohs hardness: 7.5–8

  • Naturally occurring inclusions

  • Unique colour variations from stone to stone

The most valuable emeralds display strong, even colour with good transparency.

Emerald Jewellery Styles

Emerald Rings

Emerald rings are a popular choice for statement jewellery and alternative engagement rings. Emeralds are often set as centre stones or paired with diamonds for added brilliance.

Emerald Necklaces & Pendants

Emerald necklaces highlight the gemstone’s rich colour, offering elegant designs suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.

Emerald Earrings

Emerald earrings provide vibrant colour and timeless appeal, ranging from subtle studs to striking drop designs.

Emerald bracelets add sophistication and luxury, often combining emeralds with diamonds or precious metals.

Emerald Jewellery & Symbolism

Emeralds are traditionally associated with:

  • Love and devotion

  • Renewal and growth

  • Wisdom and balance

  • Prosperity and success

Because of these meanings, emerald jewellery is often chosen for meaningful gifts and milestone celebrations.

Emerald as a Birthstone

Emerald is the birthstone for May, symbolising rebirth, vitality and harmony. Emerald birthstone jewellery makes a thoughtful and personal gift for those born in this month.

Natural & Treated Emeralds

Most emeralds undergo accepted treatments, such as oiling, to enhance clarity. This is standard industry practice and helps protect the stone. At Clarindon Jewellers, transparency is important, and any treatments are clearly disclosed.

Caring for Emerald Jewellery

Emeralds require gentle care due to their natural inclusions:

  • Clean using warm water and mild soap only

  • Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners

  • Remove jewellery during physical activity

  • Store emerald jewellery separately from harder gemstones

With proper care, emerald jewellery retains its beauty for generations.
