Polished Emeralds

Overall, jewelry with emeralds has been highly valued and the larger the emerald, the greater its value. In other words, a 5-carat emerald has a much higher value than a set of small stones that in total would give the same 5 carats.

This is because larger gemstones are rarer and in turn more valuable.

Certification or Technical Report

Certified emeralds are the guarantee that the gemstone corresponds to a certain category according to specialized analysis and evaluation.

The certificate guarantees an additional value to the emerald, because in addition to identifying the characteristics of the emerald, the certificate also fits the emerald in time and history, thus giving it more value.

Carat Weight

Carat is the measure of weight used for precious stones. One carat is equal to 1/5 of a gram. The stones are measured to the nearest hundredth of a carat.

The size of the emerald is an extremely important feature to determine its value.

Large grinders are very rare and therefore their commercial value is also quite high.

Clarity

The transparency of emeralds is one of the essential factors in determining commercial value.

The smaller the impurities present in the emerald, the more value it will have.

Color

Although at first glance the emeralds all appear the same color, there is a range of different shades that rewards the most beautiful, as they are the rarest and most valuable.

Cut

This is perhaps the least understood aspect of the five factors that make it possible to determine the value of the emerald.

The cut is also referred to as the quality of the emerald after production, not to be confused with the shape.

Of the five factors of the emerald this is the only factor entirely handled by whoever produces the emerald and will also determine the value and beauty of the emerald.
