Known as the gem of Venus, the emerald is a symbol of love, rebirth, and even an aid to fertility. Popular among style icons Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, and the Duchess of Windsor, emeralds are as fashionable as they are glamorous. When purchasing an emerald, the most important element to consider is color. Fine emeralds have a vibrant, grass-green color. Among the rarest of gems, they are almost always found with birthmarks, known as inclusions and often called "jardin." Some imperfections are expected, but do not detract from the value of the stone (unlike most other gemstones). In fact, an emerald without flaws would not look natural to a connoisseur. The fissures that are characteristic of the emerald are traditionally filled with oil or resin as to not diminish the gem's brilliance. Gemvara sells only natural, vivid green emeralds in exceptional quality from Colombia. Emerald is May's birthstone and the 20th and 35th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality emerald will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine emerald jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
