Vibrant. Radiant. Lush ~ Emerald

Emerald is a lively and radiant green colored gemstone bead. The lush green color of the gemstone comes from the traces of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Most of the emeralds are highly included which brings in them the characteristic of poor toughness.

Before the 20th century, the jewelers called Emerald as “a gem of the finest water”, to express the combination of two major qualities: color and crystal. Normally when the colored gemstones are graded, color is the most important criteria. A fine emerald must not only possess a verdant green hue, but also a high degree of transparency so as to be considered as a top gem.
