Sixteen Things You Probably Do Not Know About Emeralds
1) Emeralds are one of the most beautiful, popular, and expensive gems globally. They come from the deepest mines in the world and can reach hundreds of thousands of pounds. Emeralds are valued primarily for their rich green colour.
2) Emerald is the birthstone for May, and the stone is used in many healing and blessing rituals, such as bringing luck to a new relationship. It is also used to help bring balance to mind and spirit, making it an excellent choice for those who are looking for true happiness and love.
3) Emeralds were first recorded around 4000 years ago in Egypt, where they were used as decorative stones and a stone of power and protection. The Egyptians and other ancients believed them to offer energy, healing, wealth, and prosperity.
4) The Cleopatra Mines are one of the most famous ancient emerald mines. The name comes from Queen Cleopatra, whose kingdom extended over Egypt shortly before the time of Jesus Christ.
5) The word "emerald" derives from Sanskrit, meaning green, but has taken on a new meaning in English, referring solely to the gemstone and not the colour. Greek and Old French names have come from other words meaning green. In fact, "emerald" is the emerald gemstone itself, and the word for the gem comes from the Greek word for green, smaragdos.
6) Emerald is a beautiful and delicate gemstone. They can be as big as tennis balls or smaller than a pinhead. Emeralds are substantially included, which means that the stone has many internal flaws, some visible but often almost invisible. That's why jewellery designers use special settings for emeralds to protect them from damage.
7) Many emeralds are cut into rectangular and square shapes with bevelled corners for use in jewellery. Other shapes are available; most raw emeralds with significant inclusions are commonly cut into a round shape.
8) Emeralds are often treated with resins and oils to enhance their brilliance. These treatments may not be permanent, depending on the quality of the treatment. Treatments make cleaning emeralds a tricky business. It would be best to avoid ultrasonic baths for home cleaning as the vibrations can cause internal fractures to become worse, leading to chipping and breakage. Also, using solvents for cleaning is not recommended as these can remove the oils and resins that make the gemstone look beautiful.
9) If you wear a ring containing emeralds, you should always remove it before washing your hands. Detergents can also remove resins or oils from the stone.
10) Synthetic emeralds are emeralds that are artificially produced. They are more available to the public at lower prices than natural emeralds. Because they are not mined, they are not subject to the same legal and ecological regulations as natural emeralds. At All Diamond, we only use natural emeralds in our jewellery.
11) In the emerald trade, the first synthetic emeralds were created by the chemists of IG Farben and the first to market their product was Nacken, who developed the process that is still used today.
12) Even though the Federal Trade Commission has very tight laws about natural stones, synthetically made emeralds are becoming more popular because they are less expensive.
