From velvety forest greens to cooler bluish hues, each emerald stone carries its own visual story. As a “Type Three” gemstone, natural emeralds always have inclusions, thanks to the presence of chromium, the same element that gives them their rich colour. We see these markings not as flaws, but as part of the stone’s natural artistry. Some people gravitate toward the crystal-clear near flawless look of a lab-created emerald, while others fall in love with the organic charm of a slightly more textured natural emerald.
