Colombian Natural Green Emerald Oval Cut Gemstone for Women's Jewelry

Emerald, a member of the beryl family, is the most famous gemstone. Legends suggest that wearing an emerald under the tongue can endow the wearer with the ability to foresee the future, reveal truth, and be protected against evil spells. Emerald was once believed to cure diseases like cholera and malaria, and wearing it was thought to reveal the truth or falseness of a lover's oath, as well as make one an eloquent speaker.

To maintain the beauty of emerald jewelry, use a soft microfiber cloth to remove any accumulated oil and dirt. Avoid using an ultrasonic cleaner, as it can remove the oils that have been used to treat the emeralds and cause damage to the gemstones. Always put on your jewelry after applying makeup, hairspray, or perfume, as the chemicals can potentially harm the emeralds.

Emeralds, sapphires, and rubies (the "big 3") are generally considered precious gemstones, while most others are considered semi-precious. This is due to factors such as rarity, durability, and beauty. A fine ruby, sapphire, or emerald can be valued higher per carat than a diamond, making them the ultimate colored gemstones.

Emerald is famous for its distinctive green color, and a 1-carat emerald appears larger than a 1-carat diamond due to its lower density. Emeralds measure between 7.5 and 8 on the Mohs hardness scale. The most expensive emerald color is a bluish-green with medium tone and full saturation, and more than 50% of the world's emeralds come from Colombia.

Rubies are known for their bright red color, the most famous red gemstone. Ruby is a variety of the mineral corundum and is valued for its hardness, durability, luster, and rarity. It measures 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to the diamond.

Sapphires are precious gemstones known for their deep blue color. Sapphires belong to the corundum family and are the most valuable naturally blue colored gemstones. They are beautiful in various shapes, with the most popular being oval, round, cushion, and emerald. Sapphires measure just under 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, and Sri Lanka is the primary source.

Gemstones, including yellow sapphires, have become increasingly popular and are now used in various home and office decor applications, such as garden decorations and office displays, enhancing the overall ambiance.
