About our Emerald Necklaces Designs and Manufacture:
In the world of gems, the most difficult to get perfect cuts are Emeralds, especially from Colombia, because they are cut by hand and not in standard measures.
Most of the settings have to be done by hand or in a computer wax printer to fit the measures of the emerald for a professional work; for the safety and protection of the gemstone in the mounting.
Most emeralds are cut by hand in different sizes and shapes, it depends of the rough gemstone to be cut, to use the most of their material possible and color position into the in the rough stone.
Semi-precious color gems such as Aquamarine, Garnets, Amethyst, Topaz and so on are more commercial and at affordable prices. Semi precious gems are cut with standard sizes, the jewelry factories make the jewelry settings production in the same standard sizes where the gem will be set
So these genuine or natural emeralds in decent quality are not very abundant and they are expensive.
These gemstones are cut according to their rough shape and color position in the stone. Making the most of their expensive material, the best possible cut; more weight, more carats, more value and it is for this reason that it is almost impossible to find the ideal cut of these gems in the market.
When I go to Colombia, I buy what is available in the market at that time, it is difficult to find what I want and in the quantity I want. The market depends on the raw production in the mines and what finally it is available for sale in free trade in the offices where they are traded.
For us the emerald jewelry makers, it is hard to find a perfect setting fitting the top table, girdle and pavilion's deep measures. Each emerald is different in many ways even within the same measures as the others.
After successfully acquiring all the expected purchases, the gems are legally imported to the USA, later these are selected for what kind of jewel the gem would make its best performance and the best design.
Finally on the jeweler's bench, it is another odyssey, because its measurements are not standard as in semi-precious gems and there is no jewelry produced in factories that fit the length and width of hand-cut gems.
For safety, protection and aesthetics, the gemstone must be set in a precise setting, where the same box serves as a shield and protects the emerald against accidental blows.
The gemstone back side well seated, without movement to prevent it from break off of the mounting. If the gem is set with no solid back support, it will easily break at any of its corners or tips where it is held.
