Common questions about emeralds

Are all emeralds oiled?

Most are. Cedarwood oil is a centuries-old industry-standard treatment that improves apparent clarity. Quality emeralds with “no oil” or “minor oil” certification (from Gübelin, AGL, GIA, SSEF) command significant premiums.

What’s the difference between “no oil” and “minor oil”?

“No oil” (or “F” / none) means no enhancement was detected by major labs. “Minor” (or “insignificant”) means oil/resin is detected but barely perceptible. “Moderate” and “Significant” indicate progressively more treatment and affect price accordingly.

Which origin is most prized?

Historically, top-quality Colombian emeralds from Muzo are the most prized for their vivid green with bluish undertone. Zambian emeralds are excellent too, often with slightly more blue. At the mid range, color and clarity matter more than origin.

Can you source emerald pairs or suites?

Yes — for earrings, three-stone rings, and parures we match emeralds by color, tone, and cut. Send us your design and we’ll prepare options.
