The Swat stone

Emerald is green beryl coloured by chromium and vanadium, and no other green stone matches its depth. Pakistan has its own emerald heritage: the Swat valley mines at Mingora have produced fine, saturated stones since at least Mughal times, and Swat emerald is still traded as some of the best material outside Colombia. Emerald has been the stone of wisdom and renewal from Cleopatra’s mines to the Mughal treasury. A full bezel is the right setting for it — the silver wraps the stone’s edges completely, protecting them where claws would leave them exposed.

About the stone

Nearly all natural emerald, including this stone, contains inclusions — gem cutters call them jardin, French for garden — and is lightly oiled to soften surface fissures, a practice accepted in the trade for hundreds of years. Inclusions are the fingerprint of a real emerald; a flawless one is almost always synthetic. Every natural stone is unique: expect the shade and clarity of your emerald to differ from the photograph. If the colour isn’t what you hoped for, we’re happy to exchange it for another stone in your preferred shade.

Care

Emerald scores 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale but is more brittle than sapphire or ruby because of its inclusions. Remove the ring for heavy work, avoid hard knocks, and never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners or harsh chemicals — these can strip the oil and dull the stone. Wipe with a soft damp cloth only.
