Emeralds are the most desirable of green gems. Found in many locations, the most famous come from Colombia. Several other places in the world produce superb emeralds too, Zambia probably being the best known. Very fine stones are sometimes available from Afghanistan and Pakistan, sourced from high up in the Hindu Kush area of the Western Himalaya.

A vibrant slightly bluish green with the least amount of inclusions is the desirable way to enjoy your emeralds. They lend themselves to great center stones mixed with white diamonds, or the classic Three Stone ring, with an emerald flanked by a couple of lovely bright white diamonds.

We work with several gem dealers who source their emeralds from the mines in Colombia and also one particular gem dealer with superb contacts in Pakistan/Afghanistan and Zambia.

We invite inquiries for great emeralds; they make one smile, and are easy on the eye, after all green is possibly the most calming color found in nature...
