Our emerald collection spans rings (cocktail rings, cluster rings, three-stone designs, engagement rings), necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, and brooches. Pieces range from Victorian and Edwardian antiques through Art Deco, Retro, and Mid Century eras, all sourced from private estates and dealers worldwide. Inventory changes weekly — 40+ new pieces arrive every Friday.

Colombian emeralds — from the Muzo, Chivor, and Coscuez mines — are considered the world's finest, prized for their vivid bluish-green color and a warm red fluorescence that gives them a glowing quality under light. This combination of hue and fluorescence is unique to Colombian material and cannot be replicated by stones from other origins. AGL or GIA certification documenting Colombian origin significantly increases a stone's collectibility and value.

Most emeralds contain natural fissures that are filled with cedar oil or resin — a widely accepted and standard industry practice called oiling. It improves the stone's appearance without altering its color. A 'no-oil' or 'minor oil' AGL certificate means the stone is exceptionally clean or minimally treated, which is genuinely rare. For collectors and serious buyers, treatment status is worth understanding before purchase. Where certification exists in our collection, it is noted in the product description.

Emeralds rank 7.5–8 on the Mohs hardness scale — harder than most gemstones but softer than sapphires and diamonds. They are suitable for rings, necklaces, and earrings with appropriate care. Because of their natural inclusions, emeralds are slightly more prone to chipping than sapphires if struck hard. Vintage emerald rings in bezel or cluster settings offer more stone protection than prong settings for daily wear. Our team can advise on setting durability during a virtual appointment.

Our emerald collection ranges from approximately $1,500 for smaller vintage accent pieces to well over $50,000 for large, AGL-certified Colombian emeralds in exceptional settings. The majority falls between $3,000 and $20,000. Price is driven primarily by stone color and saturation, origin certification, treatment status, carat weight, and setting era.

Primarily intention and scale — cocktail rings tend toward larger, bolder stones in more elaborate settings designed for occasional wear. Many pieces in our collection could function beautifully as either. If you're considering an emerald cocktail ring as an engagement ring, our team can advise on setting styles that offer the most stone security for daily wear.
