Emerald Whisper's Guide to Selecting the Perfect Loose Colombian Emerald:Congratulations on your decision to invest in a stunning piece of Colombian emerald history! Emerald Whisper is committed to empowering you to make a confident and informed decision. This guide will unveil the five key elements that determine the value of a loose Colombian emerald, ensuring you become a part of our satisfied customer family.
The Five Pillars of Emerald Value:
Color Grading: Colombian emeralds are renowned for their vibrant greens. Here's a breakdown of the spectrum:
- Light Green: A delightful and often affordable option, this grade offers a refreshing hint of green.
- Medium Green: The quintessential emerald experience, this range boasts a rich and balanced green.
- Dark Green: An intense and captivating color, this grade represents the pinnacle of emerald desirability, often commanding a premium price.
Transparency Grading: This refers to how much light passes through the stone.
- Opaque: Little to no light penetrates the stone, resulting in a solid green appearance.
- Cloudy: Light partially passes through, creating a hazy or milky effect.
- Transparent: Light freely travels through the stone, showcasing its brilliance and depth of color. Generally, higher transparency increases value.
Clarity: This refers to the presence of inclusions (flaws) within the stone. Here's the grading scale used by gemologists:
- I (Included): Visible Inclusions to the naked eye.
- SI (Slightly Included): Some Inclusions are visible to the naked eye.
- VS (Very Slightly Included): Inclusions are very slightly visible to the naked eye.
- VVS (Very, Very Slightly Included): Only a trained eye can detect inclusions with magnification.
- Eye Clean: No inclusions are visible to the naked eye.
- IF (Internally Flawless): No inclusions are visible even with magnification. These are extremely rare and valuable.
Remember: A certain level of inclusions is expected in natural emeralds. Don't be discouraged by minor inclusions; they contribute to the unique character of your gem!
Carat: This refers to the weight of the stone, with larger stones being rarer and more expensive. However, carat size should be considered in conjunction with the other factors. A high-quality, smaller emerald can be more valuable than a larger one with lower color or clarity.
Treatment: Most Colombian emeralds undergo a standard treatment called oiling to enhance clarity. Emerald Whisper offers complete transparency regarding treatments applied to our stones. Here's a breakdown of treatment levels:
- None: The rarest and most valuable option, but inclusions may be more prominent.
- Insignificant/Minor: Minimal oil application for improved clarity without compromising brilliance.
- Significant: A higher level of oiling, impacting brilliance slightly.
