Earrings with emerald

Earrings with emerald can be an amazing decoration for almost any woman. This stone is rightfully considered precious because of its magical green hues, iridescent luster and healing properties. In addition, this mineral is eternal, it is not subject to any external aggressive influences, does not lose its original appearance.

Emerald deposits are common in many countries: Colombia, Zambia, Egypt, Brazil, Australia, Zimbabwe, India and others. The most famous are the Ural, Colombian, and Zambian stones. In the Urals, gems are mined with an intense green color with a high concentration of iron and chromium. In Colombia, there are deposits of minerals that have a pronounced shade without unnecessary inclusions and defects. This country has the most extensive deposits. And Zambian stones have the most transparent color and a dark green or bluish tint.

Natural emerald is a transparent variety of beryllium with rich green colors in various shades. It contains iron, vanadium and chromium. Depending on their concentration, a different color, brilliance, transparency and cost of the stone are obtained. The most expensive varieties have a lively and bright grassy hue. They are mined in East and South Africa, India, Pakistan, the Urals and Siberia.

The color range of all varieties of emeralds can be listed by shades:

• bright green;

• medium green;

• green

• green with a turquoise tint;

• dark green

• light stones with a greenish tint.

Natural emeralds, despite their exquisite appearance, cannot be perfectly transparent and uniform in color. In any case, minimal defects and inclusions will be observed.

Since ancient times, magical properties have been attributed to this wonderful gem: concomitant luck and health, maintaining friendship and harmony in the family hearth, getting rid of negative energy and negative influence. Astrologers foresee in the emerald the exposure of deceit and the prevention of stress. This stone symbolizes wisdom and tenderness, does not accept rude attitudes towards people and aggression.

As for the medical properties, lithotherapists claim that the emerald is able to reduce pressure, relieve headaches and intestinal diseases, epilepsy and insomnia. In addition, it is confirmed that this mineral is a good antiseptic, it is applied to wounds to get rid of infections, and holding the gem in a glass of unboiled water, you can safely drink it without boiling.

The growth process of hydrothermal emerald can be controlled. To do this, change the shape and position of the substrate. So you can create a stone with the desired properties. The conditions for growing artificial emerald practically repeat the process of its formation in nature, therefore, as a result, the resulting mineral practically does not differ in its properties from the natural one. And its cost can be several times less.

Another option to imitate a real emerald is crystals and beryls with green tones. It can be tourmaline, chrysolite, tsavorite and other stones. In terms of their mechanical and optical properties, they are inferior to the original, but with skillful jewelry processing, they are practically indistinguishable.

Differences between natural emerald and its imitation:

• Natural stone most often has a dark green intense color. And if the decoration is light green, light green or gray, then it is most likely beryl, which is much cheaper.
• In the presence of numerous cracks, you need to choose a purchase more carefully. The natural mineral is very strong, it cannot have many defects. But still they exist, since the conditions for the formation of this stone are very harsh. But the foreign inclusions present in the natural emerald are unique and have a special beauty.
• Despite the defects and inclusions, the emerald has a high degree of transparency, if the stone is "cloudy" and does not transmit light, then there is a high probability of a fake.
• Artificially produced emeralds have different optical properties. Unlike natural hydrothermal stones, they have a different refractive index, they luminesce with a slightly brown light.
• Hydrothermal emeralds have a different density. It is easy to check by calculating the volume of the stone and weighing it.And in the raw form, it is easy to visually identify artificially grown crystals - they have an oblong shape with even edges.

If these signs are not enough and the buyer doubts the authenticity of the gem, then you should contact a professional jeweler. And it should be remembered that if the product is not sold by hand, but in a company store, then there is always the possibility of returning or replacing it. But most often, such establishments do not sell fakes.

In terms of visual properties, artificial emeralds are not inferior to natural ones, especially when processed by a professional jeweler. Earrings of various models are produced from them, and with the naked eye the stone cannot be distinguished from the real one. But industrially created emeralds will not have healing properties, and are unlikely to be endowed with magic.

On the basis of this green stone, different models of earrings are made: with a clip, pendants, frames made of non-ferrous and precious metals, jackets and clip-on earrings. National models of jewelry are popular, especially Indian, Iranian and Boho.

Gold earrings with emerald can create the most chic and rich look.

Decorations in the form of droplets, carnations or bunches of grapes are especially good.
