Why Green Diamond Price Is Expensive
Many colored diamonds are rare in nature. For them to be considered as such, some variables must be considered and looked into. Are they durable? Are they scarce? How much of them can be produced in a year? These are just some basic questions when determining if a diamond is rare. Green diamonds in their natural state are extremely rare. If you find that hard to believe, think of this: A very small percentage of all diamonds cut into polished gems in any given year will have a dominating green tint.
They are very rare to the point that you might only get the chance to have a glimpse of them with a visit to a museum. Therefore, a green diamond price is expected to be on an expensive scale.
Fine quality gems conjure up images of crystal-clear jewels gleaming in the spotlight. An imperfect gemstone, often filled with a certain cloudiness, fissures, tiny fractures and even small cracks, isn’t something that comes to mind right away. However, with emeralds, the contrary tends to be true, since many people (rightly) consider an ‘imperfect’ emerald to be just as beautiful as a flawless diamond. Inclusions, or distinct cracks and defects, can pervade an emerald and still seem lovely. It has to do with authenticity and unique beauty. With some of the unusual inclusions frequently resulting in extremely intriguing patterns. A ten-carat ‘trapiche’ emerald, for example, has a magnificent star pattern running across it due to imperfections that looks as though it was specifically designed that way.
During the millennia it takes for an emerald to develop, these inclusions appear naturally. These fractures and defects will form if any materials become caught within the stone as it expands, and that is something that no one, bar Mother Nature, can change or control. As previously stated, these inclusions are always one-of-a-kind and can take the form of many different patterns. Tiny, jagged lines, air bubbles, interior cracks or fissures, or fractures can all be seen in emeralds, although you will often need eagle eyes (or a magnifying glass) to do so.
When cutting a gemstone, inclusions can cause problems since they can offer a weak spot. Most of the time, this implies that the jeweler must leave the impurities in the stone because he or she is afraid of fracturing it. This does complicate the cutting of rough emeralds in sparkling gemstones considerably. An emerald isn’t very hard as it is, at least when compared to its gemstone peers. They’re more vulnerable to damage than all of their most common counterparts: diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.
Colors that are easily distinguishable While an emerald with imperfections will sell nicely, it is the almost clear green gems that are in highest demand. They have a very high monetary value and are among the most valuable emeralds in the world. This is due in large part to their scarcity. There have been some very spectacular emeralds sold at auction throughout history. Because of their rarity, beauty, and (often) size, they always cause quite a stir in the jewelry business.
However, as you might expect, the vast majority of these emeralds are flawed, even the ones that go for the highest prices. When all the most precious examples in history have been faulty, that merely goes to highlight how rare ‘clean’ emeralds are. The Rockefeller Emerald, for example, an eighteen-carat stone placed atop a white gold ring, is one such specimen. It was sold for a world record price of $305,516 per carat in 2017 and is a truly stunning piece. While the emerald’s clarity was ‘amazing,’ there were still inclusions, according to the jeweler who cut it to create the finished piece.
