No reserve price Green Emerald - 1.38 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Emeralds are a dazzling member of the beryl mineral family, highly esteemed for their rich green color, which derives from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. Known for their captivating allure and historical symbolism of rebirth and love, emeralds have been treasured for centuries. The 1.38-carat green emerald highlighted here reflects the gemstone's typical vibrant green tone prized in gemological circles. Unlike sapphires or rubies, emeralds commonly possess natural inclusions, sometimes referred to as the "jardin," which can help identify their natural origin. Certification from the International Gemological Institute (IGI) provides assurance regarding the gemstone's authenticity, origin, and quality attributes. Due to their relative softness compared to other gemstones, emeralds require careful handling in jewelry settings but offer unmatched elegance when well-cut and polished.
