No reserve price - 1 pcs Green Emerald - 1.29 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Emeralds are a captivating variety of the mineral beryl, prized for their rich green color and historical significance. The green hue comes from trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium within the crystal structure. This 1.29-carat emerald, certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), exemplifies the gemstone's characteristic vibrant green tone. Originating in regions like Colombia, Zambia, and Brazil, emeralds have been treasured since antiquity for their beauty and rarity. Their relatively high softness compared to diamonds or sapphires means care is needed to maintain their polished surfaces, but their allure continues to make them favorites in fine jewelry. An emerald's inclusions, often called the gem's 'jardin,' are unique patterns that can enhance its character and prove authenticity. This green emerald represents both a striking gemological specimen and a timeless symbol of luxury and elegance.
