This is an amazing ring valued at $8,689.00 retail. The ring was crafted by master jewelers of 14K white gold. Featured in the center of the piece is a single 8.25 carat weight pear shaped aqua/green emerald.

Surrounding the emerald center are 12 round cut white diamonds, giving this ring a total carat weight of 8.60 carats. It can be sized from a women’s US-6 to a US-8. The ring is an original design and absolutely stunning. Check it out and bid while you can!

Waxing and oiling treatments may be treatments you have not heard of. These treatments are used to disguise natural fractures and fissures.

These treatments are sometimes used to fill in and disguise fissures in emeralds. These fractures are either filled with wax or simply oiled to disguise the cracks and whatnot by adding moisture. Additionally, the wax or oil is colored to make the emerald take on a better color as well as improved clarity. Another commonly wax or oil treated stone is turquoise.

This treatment is harmless and only improves the stone. The effects do not hurt the stone. You can think of it the way you think of oiling wooden furniture. You oil the furniture to add moisture and even disguise scratches and cracks, as well as to prevent further damage to the piece. Though gemstones are generally more stable and hardy than wood, these treatments simply help to improve the stone.

Emeralds are a natural fall and winter favorite as they encapsulate that rich green color that starts to disappear this time of year.

When it comes to value, the most important aspect to emeralds is their color. The darker the color the more valuable the emerald. However, clarity also plays an important role. If the emerald is translucent it is truly a valuable, beautiful gem. If it is opaque or cloudy, however, the value decreases. Emeralds are valuated very similarly to diamonds—the only difference here is that you want more color, not less!
