Their colour reflects nature at its most harmonious, making them deeply meaningful in fine jewellery. Within the green gemstone family, each stone is shaped by distinct geological processes and valued for unique characteristics of colour, clarity and rarity. This guide explores the most celebrated green gemstones, how they are formed, how they are treated, what defines their value and how PureJewels can transform them into bespoke jewellery crafted in **18ct yellow or white gold, 22ct yellow gold, 22ct Sunrise Gold or platinum**. ### **Emerald** #### **How Emerald Is Formed** Emerald forms when beryllium-rich minerals interact with chromium and vanadium under intense pressure within hydrothermal veins. This exceptionally rare geological convergence explains why fine emeralds are scarcer than diamonds. During this natural process, internal characteristics known as inclusions are formed, becoming part of the emerald’s unique identity and proof of its natural origin. #### **Treatments** It is worth noting that over 90% of emeralds naturally contain inclusions and therefore require gentle treatment to enhance their clarity. Traditionally, emeralds undergo oil-based fracture filling, a long-established and widely accepted practice within the fine jewellery world. The emeralds used by PureJewels, particularly those within the **[Zariya Collection](https://www.purejewels.com/product-category/collections/mantra-collection/)**, follow this traditional oiling method, allowing the stone’s innate beauty and saturated colour to be revealed without altering its natural character. Unlike many in the industry, PureJewels is committed to complete transparency, clearly disclosing not only that a treatment has occurred, but also specifying the **type and level of treatment applied** to each emerald. #### **Popularity** Emerald is one of the most revered gemstones in history, long associated with royalty, renewal and wisdom. While the term “green stone ring” may broadly refer to a variety of green gems, in fine jewellery it most often alludes to the emerald—esteemed for its heritage, depth of colour and enduring brilliance. Emerald continues to be a classic choice for high jewellery, heirloom pieces and bespoke engagement rings. #### **Birthstone Association** Emerald is the **May birthstone**, symbolising rebirth, love and growth, making it a meaningful choice for jewellery that marks new beginnings and enduring bonds. #### **What Defines Emerald’s Cost** - **Colour:** Rich, saturated green with a slight bluish undertone is the most prized. - **Clarity:** Inclusions are expected, but overall transparency significantly affects value. - **Origin:** Emeralds from respected sources such as Zambia and Colombia are highly regarded, with Zambian emeralds celebrated for their exceptional clarity and rich saturation. - **Carat Size:** Larger emeralds with good transparency are increasingly rare and valuable. - **Treatment Level:** Minimal or untreated emeralds command significant premiums due to rarity. #### **Bespoke Emerald Jewellery at PureJewels** PureJewels sources emeralds with a focus on colour harmony, integrity and provenance. Many of the emeralds featured in the **Zariya Collection** are responsibly sourced from the **Gemfields mine in Zambia**, one of the world’s most esteemed and ethical sources of green gemstones. Zambian emeralds are particularly admired for their clarity and vibrant, saturated hue. Emerald jewellery at PureJewels spans a thoughtfully curated range, including pendant necklaces, signature rings, refined earrings and elegant bracelets. Each piece is crafted in precious metals such as **18ct yellow or white gold, 22ct yellow gold, 22ct Sunrise Gold or platinum**, designed to become part of the wearer’s personal story. At PureJewels, emerald jewellery is more than an accessory—it is a legacy in green, created with responsibility, transparency and enduring meaning. ### **Peridot** #### **Formation** [Peridot](https://www.purejewels.com/product/18ct-yellow-gold-diamond-with-peridot-stud-earrings-44230/) forms deep within the earth’s mantle and is brought to the surface by volcanic activity.
