About Natural Emerald

Natural Emerald, traditionally known as Panna, is the green variety of the beryl mineral family and one of the most recognized gemstones used in fine jewellery and traditional astrology.

Emerald is valued for its attractive green color, which may range from light green to rich vivid green. Natural Emeralds commonly contain internal inclusions known as "jardin", which are part of the natural character of the gemstone.

Traditional methods of wearing Panna may vary according to astrological recommendations.

For jewellery care:

• Avoid strong impacts and sudden knocks.

Best Quality Natural Emerald

Best Quality Natural Emerald is selected for desirable overall gemstone characteristics such as attractive green color, good transparency, pleasing clarity, surface appearance, cut and polish.

Important quality considerations include:

• Attractive green color

• Good color distribution

• Suitable transparency

• Pleasant clarity

• Natural gemstone character

• Good cut and polish

• Overall visual appeal

Natural Emeralds commonly contain inclusions, and a completely inclusion-free appearance may be unusual for natural Emerald.

Best Quality does not mean that every gemstone will have identical color or clarity. Natural gemstones naturally vary in their internal characteristics and appearance.
