Features to choose the Best Emerald ring
- Colour Of The Emerald:
Emerald colour is something that determines the value of an emerald. The colour of an emerald is due to trace minerals of vanadium, chromium, and iron.
The ideal colour of the emerald gemstone is majorly defined as strong to vivid bluish-green, medium to medium-dark to green in colour. The discussion of the colour of the gemstone happens through the interchange of a combination of characteristics given below:
- Hue: Hue describes the basic colour of the gemstone.
- Tone: Tone basically says about the range of a gemstone’s colour from light to dark.
- Saturation: Saturation means how intense or pure the colour of the gem appears. So when estimating an ideal colour of emeralds, “bluish-green to green colour” means the hue, “medium to medium-dark colour” is the tone, and “strong to vivid” means the saturation.
- Inclusions in emeralds:
In emeralds, inclusions are very common and in diamonds, high clarity is found but this will never be the case with emerald gemstones. The emerald gemstones are Type 3 gemstones in which there is a group which includes gemstones that are always included visibly. Due to this, emerald gemstones need utmost care when you’re storing, wearing, and cleaning them and are not recommended as daily wear.
- Cut of Emeralds:
The cut in emerald rings for women most often aims at enhancing the appearance & colour of the gemstone. Most crystals in emerald gemstones are formulated as six-sided prisms & since emeralds are more brittle it makes the corners vulnerable. This type of cut in emeralds reduces the pressure applied to the gemstone during the process of cutting so that it can prevent chips in the gemstones.
- Carat weight:
The Carat Weight of emerald gemstones is measured just like diamonds as it’s a weight that is universally accepted expression. Rough emeralds are very delicate & expensive, so the stone cutters often need to conserve as much weight as possible while not harming any structural integrity of the gem. Emeralds with fine quality are available in a variety of carat sizes, but as the size of the emerald increases, the price per carat significantly goes up too. With Chordia Jewels, you can get a variety of emerald diamond rings.
- Emerald Treatments
As we all know Emeralds are known for their inclusions that often extend the tiny fissures & cracks to the gemstone’s surface. So it’s a very common practice among dealers to maintain their look by oiling the surface of the gem. For the same, emeralds are often soaked in certain oils so that the fractures can be filled and the appearance of the surface can be smooth.
These days, natural & synthetic resins are also being used besides oils since the effects of their treatment last for a long period of time. For the purpose of fracture filling, the resins are introduced into the fractures so that they can dry & work almost as a glue to hold the emerald gems together with greater stability.
