TREATMENTS
There are a number of processes used to alter the color, apparent clarity, or improve the durability of gems.
Quality
Color
The most desirable emerald colors are bluish green to pure green, with vivid color saturation.
Clarity
In Emerald expect to see inclusions that dealers like to call an internal “jardin,” or garden.
Cut
Due to the crystal shape emeralds are commonly cut as rectangular step cuts called emerald cuts.
Carat Weight
Because its density is lower, a one-carat emerald will appear larger in size than a one-carat diamond.
