Of Emeralds And Emerald Jewelry

Emeralds were not only the "object of fascination" for Cleopatra. Since time immemorial men and women have equally been attracted to this birthstone of the month of May. A fine and real emerald is assuredly a astonishing sight. No wonder it is one of the "big four" other than ruby, sapphire and diamond. An emerald is often used to commemorate 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries.

The major producers of Emerald are Colombia and Brazil along with the other countries in South America. A lot of Emerald mines can also be found in Nigeria, Madagascar, Zimbabwe and Zambia, all in Africa. Often a single color of the stone, which is regularly collected from separate places, is named after the place from where it is most ordinarily found. So Columbian Emerald is the slightly bluish stone, whereas Brazilian Emerald is the lighter version.

Pendants Necklaces

From blue-green to yellow-green, a large range of the green color can be found in Emeralds. The most favorite one is the grass green one, which has a hint of blue as well. The monetary value of the stone varies with the intensity of the color. The worth of an Emerald is also altered by its size. Roughly all emeralds have internal flaws, which are filled up with oil or colored epoxies. Inclusions, which make the stone fragile, are more approved in Emeralds than in any other stone. Emeralds of top capability that are un-enhanced are much more high-priced than the treated ones.
