Clean & Care

To maintain the brilliance and energy of your Emerald gemstone:

• Clean gently with lukewarm water and mild soap

Quality & Price

Emerald stone prices vary widely depending on:

• Origin: Colombian Emeralds are the most expensive
• Color: Vivid, rich green is most valuable
• Clarity: Fewer inclusions = higher price
• Treatment: Untreated natural stones are premium

On average, natural Emerald prices range from ₹1,000 to ₹1,00,000 per carat. Always ask for certification and clarity grading before purchasing.

Buyer Beware

With high demand comes a high risk of fraud. Be cautious of:

• Green glass sold as Emerald
• Fracture-filled or heavily treated stones
• Synthetic lab-made emeralds without disclosure

Always buy from a reputed gem dealer and ask for certifications from IGI, GIA, or GRS. Look for terms like “natural origin” and “no significant treatment” on your report.
