If not, you’ve come to the right place. In the second instalment of our ’10 things…’ series we delve into the fascinating, distinctly green world of this precious gemstone. The Gachala emerald found in Colombia in 1967 weighs 858 carats and is among the world’s largest and most famous examples of the stone. At a mere 200 carats, the Mogul Mughal isn’t quite as hefty but is the world’s largest inscribed emerald, featuring the words of a Shi’a Muslim prayer in Naskh script. In 2001, it was sold at auction for $2.2 million. Unlike diamonds, where clarity plays a significant role in valuing a stone, inclusions are to be expected in emeralds. Indeed, they can be found in 99% of natural emeralds so if you find a stone without, chances are it’s synthetic. The inclusions are formed of gases, other minerals and crystals, and liquids that emeralds take on during the crystallisation process and are often viewed as desirable features. Known as ‘jardin’ (French for garden) in the trade, they can create attractive patterns, making no two stones the same, which actually increases the value of the gem. Emerald clarity refers to what the stone looks like on the inside and is usually assessed with the naked eye, rather than under magnification. Due to their inherent inclusions, emeralds are often treated with oils or resins to enhance their clarity and improve their quality and grade. Variations in colour and inclusion are part of the natural beauty of emeralds. Find our more with our Precious Stones Guide to Emeralds.While inclusions can add to an emerald’s overall aesthetic, they do make them more susceptible to cracking if knocked against a hard surface or subjected to extreme temperature change. Most emeralds are, therefore, treated by filling cracks with oil to prevent chipping. Consequently, an emerald should never be cleaned with chemicals or an ultrasound machine. Instead, simply use warm water to rinse away any dirt, allow to dry and then rub with a soft cloth. You can also coat emeralds with baby oil as an extra precaution to help prevent the stone from becoming overly brittle. Our guide to caring for emerald rings will tell you everything you need to know about looking after these soft precious gemstones, and their settings.

From Cleopatra to the Duchess of Cambridge, there’s something about royalty and emeralds. In 1845, Prince Albert commissioned a gothic-inspired diamond and emerald tiara for Queen Victoria. Made by royal jeweller Joseph Kitching, it featured 19 inverted pear-shaped emeralds, the largest of which weighs 15 carats. For the spectacular Delhi Durbar in 1911, Queen Mary wore a stunning Art Deco emerald choker that would later be given to Princess Diana as a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth. Modern-day British royals are huge fans, too. The Duchess of Cambridge has a suite of emerald and diamond jewels that includes earrings, a necklace and bracelet. And when Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in 2018, she wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara, decorated with six emeralds on either side. Created by Boucheron in the Russian imperial ‘kokoshnik’ style for society host Margaret Greville in 1919, the tiara was the bride’s ‘something borrowed’, as it was on loan from the Queen.

Frank Baum, published in 1900, the Emerald City was “no more green than any other city”? As the story goes, it only appeared so because its residents were required by the Wizard to wear green-lensed spectacles to protect their eyes from its “brightness and glory”, thus tricking them into believing the city was made of emeralds. By the time Baum’s tale made it to the big screen in 1939, however, the city was portrayed as a sparkling metropolis built of precious green gems, no doubt to make full effect of the film’s use of Technicolor.
