What should you know about Emeralds: Learn about Emeralds and what makes it unique-In Detail (2020)

[@jamesprimmer355]

I had no idea about the controversy between chromium and venadium. Genuinely fascinating.

[@shirleysenkler781]

12 years ago I walked into a local independent jewelry store and the lady I spoke to was very interested in making my dream of an emerald ring come true. May birthday so I've always wanted a birthstone ring. I picked out a setting and they ordered some emeralds for me to pick from. No one else has a ring exactly like mine. Most stores are - this is what we have, take it or leave it. I've also purchased a few of their estate sale rings, and I recommend them to my friends.

[@hybridgoth]

In my opinion, Pakistani emeralds from the Swat valley region, and, in particular from the Gujar Killi mine are world class. These emeralds are often found to be comparable in quality and colour to some of the best Brazilian and Columbian stones yet considerably less costly when looking for a top quality stone, although, sometimes stones from the Swat valley contain excessive iron which may subdue the brightness whilst contributing to a more blueish hue. It's all a matter of personal taste when it comes to gemstones, I, myself am in agreeance with the general market in that I prefer emeralds with a slight blueish hue to those with more yellowish overtones, however, I know some people who prefer the more yellowish greens from Columbia, and, others who simply love the darker greens often seen in Zambian emeralds. Emeralds can be a bit tricky though with the acceptance of oiling, and, it being so prevalent in the industry, oiling has a way of hiding most of, if not, all of the surface reaching fractures, making it hard to be sure of what you're looking at. A detailed report, or, personal access to gemological equipment is a real benefit when purchasing emeralds for investment purposes. For those who simply want a gorgeous stone and don't care so much about the provenance, I'd suggest a hydrothermal synthetic emerald, they're in my opinion the most beautiful of the synthetics available.

[@TurboJon]

Excellent presentation. Very informative and delivered in a concise and enjoyable manner. Thank you.

[@WontSeeReplies]

Surprisingly informative video. You answered questions I didn’t know I had. And I had a lot.

[@BCJSimon]

I went to Colombia to buy Emeralds, i got hustled by a jeweler, went through alot to get my money back, afterwards i found a Jewelry store that was honest and provided me with astonishing beautiful emeralds and at great price i`ve learned alot from your video thanks and keep it up!

[@anonymousperson1737]

Fascinated by the world of jewelry. Wish I'd known about this channel years ago.

[@patrickkyteler5585]

Very informative video. About inclusions. I have an emerald and 18K gold pinky ring that I got a few years ago while on vacation. The inclusions are visible to the naked eye but you have to get up close with the stone to see them. The inclusions are wispy and found in the middle of the rectangular cut gem. To me, with you back up, the "jardin" gives the emerald a lush, velvety appearance. This is one of the three "serious" rings that I own, and one that I only wear on special occasions. I also have a pair of Chatham emerald stud earrings set in 14K. You can really see the difference when you put the natural emerald next to the lab created. The latter is much more saturated with more sparkle. Still, the character of the natural emerald makes it a favorite.

[@YourAverageJeweler]

Glad it was helpful. And yes, character can be important!

[@AdamCeladin]

Great Job on the Channel (Gave you a sub) Wanted to ask about so called ,,Russian Emeralds,, do they have something common with normal Emerald? Also do they have some good value or not much ? Thank you :)

[@tipr8739]

Are they demantoid? I know that Russia is famous for demantoid which is green and also prized. Idk if they are the same mineralogically speaking

[@ArmandCury]

Russian emeralds are emeralds in the same "strictu senso" as Colombian ones. The fact is that they might contain, or not, iron in their composition. But, they are also beautiful and expensive. The most valuable ones are the Colombian ones, with few or not inclusions and slightly bluish green.

[@wadefreeman7340]

Each country has unique emerals .some emerals container vanadium and cromium so with cromium are more valuable than vanidium

[@albertobeto8120]

Hi! You mentioned that emeralds can be very hard, but fragile when not being perfectly clear. An emerald without imperfections would be durable enough to wear every day (like an engagement ring)? Or would you recommend another kind of stone? Any other in green color? :)

[@robertbrandywine]

My wife has worn her lab grown emerald for years and hasn't broken it. Of course, lab grown have fewer inclusions and are therefore less fragile. Also, the emeralds recovered from the shipwreck of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha were on the sea bottom for 300 years and seem to have survived just fine, so are they really so fragile?

[@traces2807]

So very interesting :) Since I'll never be able to afford an emerald, I opted for a chrome diopside ring. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE my chrome diopside. The green is absolutely stunning and nearly flawless in the clarity. BUT, it''s also a softer stone so yes, I am careful with it.

[@MN-xi1nb]

Hi, love your video. I'm from South Africa 🌍 have inherited stones from my father who passed when I was 11 all emerald and beryl and some diamonds. Mining was his hobby, I'm in my 50s now and want to sell them but don't know how to go about this. Can you please advise me on the how to. Much appreciated🙏

[@MsCheriecoco]

[@SiddharthGaurs]

Very nice and crisp information. Thanks

[@Imetauen]

Very good info, I've recently inherited a ring which has a natural incredibly small emerald in it, am trying to find out if it's worth appraising or not but I'm guessing it is. It's gorgeous despite it's size it has this beautiful shine too it when it catches the light just right.

[@riturajchoudhury2467]

Hi I have recently bought an emerald and wearing it in a ring for astrological purpose. Should I oil that emerald to keep it in good condition? If yes then could you pls let me know which oil to use and the process please

[@dennisdean9379]

I am just beginning to shop for a real Colombian Emerald. My girlfriend is from Colombia and ONLY will accept an Emerald from there. I had heard, before watching your video, that Emeralds were not that hard and suggested to have some protection around it, whether some prongs or other metal or possibly stones/diamonds. Now that I know it is harder but fragile should I make sure the setting has some 'protection' around it to help protect it? Also, any specific questions I need to ask to insure a high quality true Emerald from Colombia? Thanks

[@hybridgoth]

A traditional 'emerald cut' stone is more suitable for use in everyday jewellery, avoid round and oval cut stones as they have a higher chance of becoming damaged over time. There are numerous setting styles available, it's best to consult with the jeweller who is working on creating your piece(s) to discuss your concerns, depending on whether the stone(s) will be set in a ring or a pendant will effect the options, as rings are more prone to damage they'll generally require a more protective setting than pendants/earrings would. You should enquire about a stones treatment if any, and, a detailed gem report if available. I would also personally suggest that, if you can afford to pay a premium? Choose and untreated stone if possible.

[@jamy_baxtr]

finally some really good video about real information, not all that that spiritual and superstitious shit

[@1janelaf]

Love the information that I am getting from you about gem stones!

[@beckylovesdrums]

How can I be sure that I am buying a natural emerald with accepted treatment? it seems like it’s much less expensive to purchase gemstone jewelry online and I see many sellers claim their stones are natural AAA quality, and will also give a certificate of authenticity. Is that enough to trust them?

[@hybridgoth]

If something seems too good to be true it most probably is. This is not to say that bargains don't exist, but, just a cautionary note, there are many unscrupulous sellers on the internet currently, many of them will lie to make a sale, these people are not selling their products at a loss. If what they are selling was valuable? They most likely wouldn't be selling their stock cheaply.

Great video!! I've been waiting for you to do a video on the emerald. I've noticed most jewelers only sell lab-created emeralds. Is it difficult to find a jeweler that will sell a natural emerald and is it hard to find a good emerald?

[@YourAverageJeweler]

Given there price point, there are a lot of jewelers ( especially chains) that choose not to carry much, if any, natural Emerald. If you go into a reputable independent jeweler you will likely find them willing to source what you are looking for. But sadly, not a lot of inventory to browse. Thanks for watching!

[@mahmoudrubeya7876]

If in the USA, then visit Peter Marco, the jeweller, I'm sure you can get what you want.

[@YourAverageJeweler]

Not necessarily. Different methods and different companies will have different costs. If you are looking for a lab grown emerald with the closest characteristics to that of natural, from a reputable American company, Chatham is a great way to go. They are not the only ones, but I would expect to pay more for chatham. Some of the other companies, especially foreign, you don't know what process or ethics are involved. Hope that helps!

I can't wait to hear your opinion of the Jaipur emerald market and the Pink City often called the Paris of India. I am wearing emeralds because those are my husband's birth stone where mine is diamond and in white gold they are something I came across on Etsy of all places and then studied the GIA information about Jaipur in general being a place where royalty and so many people that are finding out about Jaipur are gravitating to. Second question 🤔 why is it a bad idea if it is, to pick a stone through the internet without seeing it in person. Third question while studying the stone I did not find what one USA company is calling AAAA I only saw the 4 types and then the rare and heirloom so I'm curious to know is AAAA actually real? Also, what is the best certification for the emerald one would want to procure. Why do we see advertisements in many places for natural columbian emeralds that are sold as loose under the guises of directly from the manufacturer and how can we explain those often cheap prices then see something similar in a store for tens of thousands of dollars? Are you shocked that eBay has 30k+ priced emerald jewelry for sale and how risky is it to get a loose stone without a jeweler being involved. As you can see I have many questions and I've subscribed and will surely watch lots of your videos and I've yet to discover if you are an active jeweler and more about your history, I'm enthusiastic about learning more about YOU! Thank you for this very informative video, it was the first time anyone explained the other elements involved in what classified an emerald to begin with, very awesome to know that now and will that information be available with the stones we should be looking for?
