About Our Emerald Collection
Emerald is a green variety of beryl — the same mineral family as aquamarine — coloured by trace chromium and/or vanadium, and one of the most prized coloured gemstones in fine jewellery. It rates 7.5–8 on the Mohs hardness scale, but emeralds typically contain natural inclusions — often called "jardin," French for garden — which can make them more prone to chipping than their hardness alone suggests, so rings benefit from protective settings.
Every emerald in this collection is a natural, hand-selected stone, available in 925 sterling silver or 9KT–18KT gold. Gold settings are BIS hallmarked, and every purchase is backed by our lifetime warranty and buyback programme. Need to return or exchange an order? See our Returns & Exchange Policy for full details.
Emerald is the traditional May birthstone, long associated with renewal and used in fine jewellery for centuries.
Caring for emerald: avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which can affect surface treatments and natural inclusions. Clean gently with mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft cloth, and store pieces separately from harder gems. See our full jewellery care guide for more tips.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is natural emerald jewellery?
Natural emerald jewellery features genuine emerald gemstones formed naturally within the earth — a green variety of beryl prized for its rich colour and rarity.
Why do emeralds have visible inclusions?
Natural inclusions, sometimes called "jardin," form during the emerald's growth within the earth and are considered a normal characteristic of the stone rather than a flaw. Very clean emeralds without visible inclusions are comparatively rare and valuable.
Is emerald durable enough for daily wear?
Emerald rates 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, but its natural inclusions can make it more prone to chipping than the hardness number suggests. A protective setting is recommended for rings worn daily.
Is emerald a birthstone?
Yes. Emerald is the traditional birthstone for May.
Is emerald usually treated?
Minor oiling to improve the visual clarity of inclusions is a long-standing and widely accepted practice in the emerald trade. Product listings note treatment status where relevant.
How should I clean and store emerald jewellery?
Clean gently with mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft cloth — avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. Store emerald pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box.
