Price & Quality

Price of an emerald or Panna can range from Rs 500 ($7) per carat and go up to Rs 100,000 ($1427) per carat or higher, depending on factors such as cut, color, clarity, origin/source, and treatments.

Cut

 

The cut of an emerald not only enhances its beauty but also helps hide inclusions. A well-faceted emerald is priced higher than a normal or irregularly shaped emerald. Emeralds are commonly cut in oval, rectangular, round, and mixed cuts, although they are available in various shapes and cuts.
Color Emerald or Panna is a green to bluish-green variety of the mineral beryl, colored by trace elements of chromium and vanadium. The most desirable emerald colors range from bluish green to pure green, exhibiting strong to vivid color saturation and a medium to medium-dark tone. The color, tone, and saturation of an emerald significantly impact its value.
Clarity Emeralds naturally contain more inclusions than most other gemstones. Eye-clean emeralds are rare and highly valued. Unlike many other gemstones, visible inclusions are acceptable in emeralds.
Origin/Source Colombian emeralds are renowned for their exceptional color quality and command higher prices compared to other origins in India, ranging from Rs 3,200 to Rs 2 lakh per carat ($45 to $2852). Zambian emeralds are also well-known and can be priced between Rs 2,700 and Rs 1.5 lakh per carat ($38 to $2141). Brazilian emeralds are relatively more affordable.
Treatment Emeralds may undergo special treatments such as oiling. Emeralds treated with strong epoxy-like resins are considered less valuable compared to those treated with safer colorless oiling.

Care & Cleaning

As a general guideline, it is recommended to clean your emerald jewelry a few times a year. While some individuals prefer to have their jewelry professionally cleaned, you can also take care of your emeralds yourself by following these instructions:

1.) Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently remove any oil and dirt accumulated on the emerald jewelry.

2.) Prepare a bowl of warm water and add a small amount of mild soap to create a soapy mixture. Place the jewelry into the bowl, ensuring it is fully submerged in the soap and water solution.

3.) Use a soft toothbrush or a jewelry brush to carefully brush the jewelry, paying attention to hard-to-reach areas and ensuring a thorough cleaning.

4.) Fill a second bowl with warm rinse water. Submerge the jewelry in the rinse water to remove any soapy residue, ensuring a clean finish.

5.) Gently wipe the jewelry with a soft, clean microfiber towel to dry it. Once the jewelry is completely dry, it is ready to be worn again.

By following these steps, you can effectively clean and maintain the beauty of your emerald jewelry.
