For centuries, the emerald has stood as the quintessential symbol of prosperity and prestige, defining the standard for the green in the colored stone world.
At TAKAT Gems SR, our foundation, built on a heritage of precious stone craftsmanship dating back to Jaipur in 1955, lies in selecting and mastering the world’s finest gems, especially the breathtaking emerald. We offer specialized expertise for those seeking a remarkable Loose Round Emerald Gemstone or a perfectly cut masterpiece for investment or adornment.
Emerald value is intricately tied to its color and clarity, often associated with its geographical origin. Historically, Colombian emeralds are revered for possessing the most valuable, pure green color.
However, the market increasingly recognizes the distinct quality of the quality fancy Zambian emerald, known for exhibiting a deep green hue coupled with a subtle bluish overtone due to the presence of iron.
Zambian emeralds are particularly praised for often having fewer visible inclusions compared to their Colombian counterparts, lending them superior clarity and a cleaner appearance. Regardless of origin, the most desirable color ranges from bluish green to pure green with vivid saturation.
Due to the inherent brittleness and presence of internal features (known as jardin, or garden, inclusions), emeralds require a specialized approach to cutting.
The "emerald cut" is the most common style, preferred because its faceted corners help protect the vulnerable edges of the stone from damage. When pursuing a loose round emerald or any step-cut gem, careful attention to clarity is mandatory.
Unlike brilliant cuts which disguise small imperfections, step-cut facets, such as those found on the emerald cut, tend to reveal clarity characteristics more readily. For this reason, we recommend aiming for high clarity grades, typically VS1 or above, to ensure inclusions remain invisible to the naked eye.
For bespoke jewelry, the elegant rectangular profile of the emerald pairs beautifully with complementing diamond shapes. A sophisticated emerald diamond with baguettes relies on the slim, rectangular baguette diamonds, which utilize simple step-cut facets, to accentuate the central stone with understated flashes of light. Tapered baguette diamonds, in particular, work exceptionally well as side stones alongside an emerald-cut diamond centerpiece.
Investing in a high-quality emerald means participating in a robust global market. Prices for fine emeralds are appreciating, with Colombian stones leading a significant 15–20% increase in key Western luxury markets, and emeralds are expected to maintain steady annual gains of 5% through 2026.
This growth places emeralds alongside other appreciating precious stones. For comparison, while considering the pigeon blood ruby price per carat, it is important to note that the highest prices for rubies go to rare, untreated stones. Similarly, the ruby price in Dubai for natural 1-carat rubies generally ranges between AED 250.00 and 3,000.00.
Other major colored stones like Blue Sapphires and Tanzanite also show strong market movement, with the estimated blue sapphire price per carat for premium stones in India expected to reach up to ₹50,000 in 2025. Current projections estimate the tanzanite price per carat for cut and polished stones to range from $250 to $1000.
At TAKAT Gems SR, our commitment to transparency, origin, and masterful cutting ensures that every loose round emerald gemstone we offer meets the highest standards of beauty and investment potential, solidifying our expertise in the luxury gemstone landscape.
