Tips about How to buy genuine emerald jewelry:
Having basic knowledge of how to buy emeralds is important for the investment you are going to make.
With my experience in the emeralds and jewelry business, I can give you some advice on what your best option would be in buying genuine emerald jewelry or loose emeralds, but Knowledge and experience takes time; so, do not expect to become an expert with some helpful tips. I have 35 years in this business, and I am still learning.
The prices of emeralds vary with time, who is the seller and country of origin of the emerald, so to buy these wonderful gems you have to be updated and learn something about emeralds.
I can give you some help, giving the best of my experience as an experienced dealer in loose emeralds and as an old jeweler. In a few pages I cannot capture all my knowledge, but I can give you some good tips.
With the presence of several Online retailers offering single loose emeralds and finished jewelry, it is difficult to know what your best option is. Some pieces are affordable while others are quite expensive. Even if you are in a jewelry store with a honest sales person and have the item in your hands, if you are not an expert in gemstones, it’s not easy to make the right decision, with a seller pushing you to buy now.
Professional salespeople are seldom knowledgeable as to the details of a good quality emerald. Their goal is only to make the sale by convincing you with "big discounts" that you are making a big deal.
Of course, price and budget are important and will determine the quality gem you will eventually purchase, The point is to pay a reasonable price, having a little knowledge of what you want to buy.
If your investment is going to be a significant amount, always buy where the guarantees offered to you are real and satisfactory, that the company has a good commercial record and good reputation; Ghost companies that suddenly disappear are common, especially overseas companies, without any regulation.

The price of emeralds is a tricky thing
You can to buy an opaque stone for a lot less than an almost perfectly transparent natural, mined emerald. Sometimes the best emerald for you is not what I think it is the best for me, it depends of your taste and budget.
Unlike in diamonds, color in emeralds is the most relevant feature but a dark emerald is usually dull because of the strong saturation of chromium and sometimes also vanadium are blocking the gemstone’s sparkling comes up. Don’t expect to find natural emeralds that are completely free of inclusions, they are natural stones, so you should expect natural flaws or/and inclusions. 90% of most gems are heavily included.
Natural emeralds normally have inclusions, not like other clear gemstones, such as tanzanite or aquamarine. ‘Clarity feature’ in gems refers to the inclusions and flaws in an emerald. Sometimes invisible to the unaided eye, these are the ‘unique fingerprints’ of all natural gemstones and "proof of authenticity". This is why eye clean emeralds are very rare and very expensive.
The higher carats in the precious gemstones, the higher the price. However, if the caratage is high, but other features like color, tone and cut are not superior, even a large emerald may not be expensive.
This is the range of colors for the emeralds that we sell:
