Held in high esteem since ancient times, emerald is amongst the most fascinating gemstones on our earth. Deriving its name from the Greek word 'esmaragdos', this magnificent gemstone of intense, radiant color and great luminosity was regarded by Incas and Aztecs of South America as a 'sacred stone endowing its wearer with good luck and well being'. In other cultures, this vivacious gemstone has for centuries been considered as the color of beauty and endowing constant love, conveying harmony and elemental 'joie de vivre'. Emeralds belong to the mineral family of beryl bearing good hardness graded 7 to 8 on Mohs' scale of hardness, owing their intense green color to the elements of chromium and vanadium. Mined in Zambia, Brazil, Zimbabwe and Madagascar, the most valuable emeralds derive from Colombia, known for their fine quality and distinction by virtue of their especially fine, shining ‘emerald-green’ color unimpaired by any bluish tint. The clear design of the rectangular or square 'emerald cut' with beveled corners is considered by experts as the ideal cut for emeralds as it fully reveals the real beauty and luminosity of this valuable gemstone although in spite of their good hardness, the brittleness of emeralds makes their cutting and setting a veritable challenge.
