Emerald, as one of the five gems, has a very long history. In fact, as early as ancient Egypt, some people began to wear emerald jewelry. Slowly, this mysterious and unique green gem has also been loved by many kings and nobles. But beautiful things are always hard to get, so natural emeralds often contain impurities and cracks, and clean emeralds are rarely found. At present, almost all emeralds on the market are soaked in colorless oil immediately after mining. Because this will not only make emeralds look cleaner and brighter, but also avoid cracks in the cutting process. Moreover, jadeite soaking colorless oil is also recognized by various gem institutions, and other methods are not recognized.
Now the price of high-quality emeralds is rising day by day, and the top emeralds produced in Colombia are more expensive. Last February, at a jewelry auction held in Sotheby's, a Cartier brand 2 1.86ct Colombian emerald ring fetched the highest price of $3.65 million. This price also far exceeds the initial estimate.
With the depletion of Colombian emeralds, high-quality emeralds are becoming more and more rare. At present, jewelry with this quality as the main stone can only be seen at jewelry auctions or big-name high-end jewelry.
The following ring comes from the brand's high-end jewelry series, and the overall design of the ring is inspired by lace used in fashion. The emerald in the center of the ring face is a traditional emerald cut, showing a strong bright green. Surrounded by rubies, sapphires, emeralds, tourmalines and other colorful treasures, the semi-closed overall structure also makes the gems lighter and brighter. At the same time, the designer also used spirals, diamonds and gold beads to set off emeralds, reinterpreting complex lace patterns in an abstract style.
Also cut with the most traditional emerald, but this ring is very different. Because it's cool! This ring is made of gold-plated black to set off the bright color of the gem, and the geometric pattern is very similar to Gothic jewelry.
The octagonal black gold-plated frame is inlaid with rings of bright diamonds, and the contrast between black and white is particularly strong, which also makes the emerald in the middle particularly eye-catching. I have to say that this is an impressive work and a very fashionable trend.
Of course, in addition to the most classic emerald cutting, there are many different ways to cut emeralds, such as this emerald ring in the style of fruit suit. The designer used a 22.53-carat Colombian emerald as the main stone of the ring and carved it into a candy shape. Both ends are inlaid with small leaves and fruits carved with sapphire and emerald, and the vein carving on the gem is also clearly visible. Green emeralds are saturated and bright, blue sapphires are attractive and mysterious, and small diamonds are exposed, giving people a very sweet visual effect.
