Overview
Brilliant green and of vitreous lustre, Emeralds are the rarest gemstones in the world. Nearly twenty times rarer than diamonds, the ‘green sheen’ of emeralds grants it this unique disposition. Officially classified by global gemstone manufacturers among the only four ‘precious’ gemstones (along with diamond, ruby and sapphire), emeralds come from the beryl family. Unlike other gemstones that show variations in colour, emeralds are only evergreen, a result of vanadium or chromium traces in their chemical composition.

History
Emeralds have left their indelible mark on human history, with their earliest presence in 1500 BC Egypt. They were known as Marakatha in Sanskrit (ancient India) and Zamarrud in Persian times. Ancient Egyptians held emeralds in the highest regard, considering it as a symbol of fertility, and evergreen or everlasting life. While the Egyptians buried their mummies with these rich green gemstones to signify immortality, other ancient civilizations such as the Aztec and Incas connected it to ‘green mother nature’ - worshipping these very stones as the personification of gods.
