Emerald Gemstone for Jyotish and
Vedic Astrology
|
|
Emerald is the astrological,
precious gemstone related
to Mercury, which is the planet of intelligence, speech, communication, trade
and commerce. It improves learning abilities, communication and clairvoyance and it is beneficial
to the nervous system. Wearing an emerald of at least 1.5
carat is said to give good results in all the business and trade activities. It is ideal for people working with computers. It makes the wearer more focus in completing many tasks at
once. And it
will
also make the wearer a very persuasive speaker.
Emerald can be substituted with peridot, green tourmaline, or chrysoprase of at least 3 carats.

treated with cedar wood oil and/or permanent resins. It is assumed that our emeralds below are treated so (except when stated
untreated/unoiled). Zambian emeralds are usually less treated.

Quick facts
Viewing emeralds the
correct way.
1- We have been asked
many times how to view correctly
emeralds. In a gem box, an emerald will
never display its full potential look. The pic
above shows the right way to view an
emerald, and see its closest, natural appearance once the stone
will
be set in a ring or a
pendant.
Just hold it in between your finger as shown. Having an
incandescent light source on in the room,
will help also to see the color and
brilliance in indoor environment.
2-
Colombian emeralds will flourish when set in high karat yellow gold (As
a matter of fact, in
Colombia, goldsmiths will refuse to set any emerald in white
gold.). In 18K high carat gold, emeralds will just beautify their appearance
tenfold. No other colored stone will flourish so much, when set in a
high karat
yellow gold setting like an emerald does.

Emerald Jewelry Care
1-
DO NOT USE ANY ULTRASONIC CLEANER OR STEAMER when
you set or clean your emerald.
Ask the jeweler that will set your emerald,
not to use the buffing wheel to polish the ring
or pendant, once the stone is set.
The setting should be high polish before setting the emerald. Once
the stone is set, the jeweler should just polish the prongs or bezel
with the hand piece, without going over the stone in any way.
Avoid rapid temperature
changes and high heat
sources.
2- Clean your emerald periodically (when
it is less lively
and sparkling) with
cold water and a mild soap.
Perform this operation with the help of a soft toothbrush. Clean it well, rinse
it and dry it. Avoid rapid
temperature changes and high heat.
3-
Emerald is a hard gem, which is however brittle. Make sure to remove
your emerald ring before any heavy activities such as washing dishes
by hand, or working with tools. A hard knock can break your emerald.
