Emerald 7 x 5mm Oval Faceted Gemstone, A-Grade

This A-grade oval emerald is a perfect way to add classic, timeless emerald green to your jewelry designs. This gemstone, mined in Brazil, goes well with pieces that have an ancient style and pairs particularly well with yellow gold. Emerald is the birthstone for May. Emerald, a green variety of beryl, gets its color from traces of chromium and vanadium in its crystalline structure. Many emeralds are treated with Opticon or oil to enhance their color. All Rio Grande emeralds have been oiled; we do not offer emeralds treated with Opticon. The oval cut is an even, symmetrical shape but elongated. The arrangement of its facets is similar to that of a round brilliant, designed to maximize light and color.
