emeralds

Emeralds are precious gemstones known for their striking green color, which comes from trace elements like chromium and vanadium. They are a variety of beryl, a mineral that also includes aquamarine and morganite. Valued for their beauty and rarity, high-quality emeralds can be more expensive than diamonds. Unlike other gemstones, emeralds often have inclusions, known as "jardin," which can enhance their character. They are mainly sourced from Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia. Traditionally, emeralds symbolize love and rebirth, making them popular in jewelry, especially for engagement rings and other fine ornaments.
