Emerald Jewellery symbolises eternal springtime and the colour of life. These Emerald Rings, Emerald Pendants and Emerald Earrings for instance, hold a wonderful colour that is honoured still in many cultures thoughout the World as being linked to beauty and everlasting love and romance, such as when the Romans said their God Venus, linked to love and beauty, was also the colour of green.
This colour is said to be the colour of Islam, and is therefore found in many of the Arab World flags for their respective countries. It is said to link these countries by unity and faith. The Catholic church has always said it to be the most most virtuous and natural of colours.
Through all history the human eye has been never thought to be able to see through these gems, and it is said to link all that people love in nature and provide harmony when doing this. Pliny, the famous Roman philosopher, said of this gem "that people could view it at all times without ever becoming tired of it" and "its colour remained as fresh and vivid to the eye as it did the very first time it was viewed". It's colour does change slightly if looked at in daylight and then in artificial light, but its basic hue and lustre never changes too dramatically.
Some emeralds do in fact have yellow or blue overtones, but most are found in a variety of different lovely greens, although they will loose colour if they are heated dramatically.
The most sought after and valued emerald gemstones are those that are said to be of "emerald green" or "grass green" colour. Colour is always the most important aspect when you are considering buying this gem, especially with regard to price.
No other colour found is really similar to that of the emerald green, preferred usually being very bright, not too pale or dark, or containing too much in the way of other colour hues. The best quality of emerald gemstones are usually said to be found "glowing", and most often tend to be sourced from Colombian mines.
If you are lucky enough to have emeralds or emerald jewellery, then please make sure you do not hide them away. All jewellery should be worn and flaunted to their maximum, and emerald is definitely emeralds are no exception.
