20th - Emeralds

The stunning green hue of emerald gemstones makes them a versatile choice for any type of jewellery, although they are relatively fragile due to the presence of layers and fissures within the stone. Wearing an emerald ring requires careful handling, but its classic and elegant appearance makes it well worth saving for special occasions. To enhance clarity and fill fissures, emeralds are often treated with oils, paraffin, or resins, while hardeners may be added to increase their durability.
