The EML06 shows a classic emerald gem stone, this emerald gem was recently made available by Kaisilver, the world’s largest online custom jewelry provider. There are a few interesting details regarding this gem that are worth noting. Firstly, notice the shape and cut of the gemstone. This is the classic emerald cut that gemstone cutters developed specifically for emeralds. You would today find that many other gems like, ametrine, garnets, zircon and a few other gems are cut with the emerald cut. The reasons why the emerald cut is considered to be very suitable for the emerald gem stone need to be understood. Notice that the corners of the gemstone are blunted. The absence of pointed corners for your emerald gem stone, reduces the chances of the corners being damaged with physical impact. Since emeralds by nature can chip or crack with physical impact, the protection provided to the corners of the gem stone is important. The shape of the emerald cut allows a good depth to the gem stone, this helps attractively expose the color and probably the texture of the gem stone. You should know that when any gem stone is finally cut, the yield or weight of the cut gem stone is just 20% to 30% of what the initial rough weight was. The cutting loss, or weight lost in the cutting process is therefore around 70% to 80%. This is significant for emeralds which are not exactly cheap. The emerald cut allows for efficient use of the rough emerald gem stone which means that, the end buyer gets a better yield and price for the gemstone. The emerald gem stone shown above is not eye clean, it is a medium grade emerald This does not mean that good quality emeralds are eye clean. It is almost impossible to get an emerald gem that is eye clean. Emeralds by nature always show visible inclusions and fissures, this is for all price levels and qualities. A better quality emerald might show fewer inclusions scattered around the gem stone, this would give some more transparency to the gem stone. It is upto the buyer to decide whether it is worth paying a premium price for an upgrade in quality. To give you an example the EML06 Kaisilver emerald shown above could be priced at around 1,600 U.S$ to 2,000 U.S$ for the medium grade. However, if you had to move to the good quality emerald with similar dimensions and weight, you might end up paying as high as 4,000 U.S$ to 6,000 U.S$ for the piece.
