About the stone

The emerald is a variety of beryl with an intense green color, valued since ancient times for its regal hue. Imperfections or fine inclusions are common, but they give it character.

It is associated with wisdom, hope, and balance. Being relatively hard, yet sensitive to strong impacts, it requires extra care when wearing and cleaning.
