Emerald

Many stories have been told about Emerald. Legend has it that Fura Tena, an ancient Muzo queen wore beads of emeralds down to her heels that were so brilliant that they blinded any man who looked at her.

In the Bible, the priest's breast plate contained emeralds among the other gemstones. It is favoured by the Egyptians, the Hindus and basically people all over the world.

The emerald is the birthstone for May. Emeralds are also 20th wedding anniversary gemstones and 35th anniversary gemstones.

The best emeralds are valued for for their rich, bright, vivid green color. It is common in the industry to fill the inclusion of emeralds with a rich green oil to hide the flaws and to improve the color. That could be why the brilliant green your favourite emerald jewelry once has fades after you clean it. So when cleaning emeralds, be especially careful. Just clean it with cool water and a soft brush and a very mild detergent. Rinse and dry your emerald jewelry thoroughly after you wash it. If the color fades, send it to a jeweler for touch ups.
