Colors

​

Emeralds are famous for their deep green color.  Naturally occuring emeralds come in a range from green-yellow to green-blue but only the deep green stones are considered emeralds.

Regional Emeralds

​

Columbian

​

Columbian emerald rings are of high quality, and sometimes can have a slight bluish green color to them.  These emeralds are famous for their deep green color, however.

​

Zambian

​

Zambian emerald rings have a greater blue hue than Columbian, typically.  The emeralds have great clarity, and although cheaper than Columbian emeralds, Zambian emeralds are also popular for mounting on emerald rings.

​

Brazilian

​

Brazilian emerald rings are a softer green than the intensely green Columbian emerald rings.  Brazil also produces very rare emeralds including the six spoke star and cat's eye.
