Emerald is known as the "king of green gems", and it is regarded as "four precious stones" by diamonds, rubies and sapphires by the international jewelry industry. Following Jade, it is leading the round of green jewelry collection in the Chinese jewelry market with strong momentum. Why is it called emerald? What does it have to do with grandmother? How to identify the quality, how to buy? With these questions, the reporter interviewed Mr. Huang Wei of Lavetta Jewelry (LAVETA) in Xinmin Road, Nanning. Spike diamond irrelevant grandmother The name of the emerald is derived from the ancient Persian word "ZUMURUD". In the "Shu Genglu", Tao Zongyi transliterated it as "helping the wood thorn". The old fashion in China has the name "mother green" and "helping the water green". Call it "Lu Song Green." In fact, it is transliterated and has nothing to do with grandmother. When it comes to the best in the jewelry market, people often can't help but think of glamorous diamonds. As everyone knows, an equal-sized, high-quality emerald is much more expensive than diamonds. “Emeralds are rare in the domestic market, but they are very popular abroad.†Manager Huang introduced the reporter. This rare gem is more precious than diamonds. One out of every one million beryl is emerald. This miracle-like probability stems from the special conditions of emerald formation. On April 22 this year, a "perfect" 100-carat emerald diamond was only auctioned for three minutes at the New York auction, and it was sold for $22.1 million (about 137 million yuan). “The mining is very difficult, the resources are gradually depleted, the output is extremely low, and the high-quality rough is even rarer, which causes the price to rise year by year.†Mr. Huang said the reason for the increase in emerald prices. Best in Colombia In the world of emeralds, the mining area is like a blood uniform, which directly determines the value of emeralds. Emeralds of the same color, clarity, and level, from Colombia, are several times higher than Zambia or Brazil. Of course, there are also different mines in Colombia. The main difference between these mines is the color of the emeralds produced. The most prestigious mining areas in Colombia are MUZO, CHIVOR, COSQUEZ, TRAPICHE and more. Among them, the emeralds produced by Muzo and Koskez are the best, and the Muzu emerald is the most representative emerald in Colombia. Many buyers often say that the best emerald color is like the emerald green in the jade, rich and full of life, which is described as Muzu emerald, and the emerald color produced by the Coskez emerald mine is blue. The emerald produced by Cheval is more yellowish than Muzo and Koskez. In addition, there is a very rare Dabiz emerald, which has six shape ray structures like star gemstones. "Emerald crystal hardness is higher than jadeite, generally 7.5 to 7.75, but the texture is relatively brittle, which determines that emerald is almost not too big. The quality is excellent. The weight is more than 2 carats. It is rare, if the weight can It is a rare treasure to reach more than 5 carats." Mr. Huang explained. The color difference is one hundred times higher than the price difference What are the tips for choosing emeralds? Manager Huang said that he can choose from color, weight, transparency/clarity, cut, place of origin, and treatment. Color is an important factor in determining the value of emeralds. According to the evaluation of the Gemological Institute of the United States, medium-tone, high-concentration and pure green emeralds are the best. An emerald with a bright green color can be 100 times more expensive than a light green emerald. Secondly, good clarity reflects the proper cut. If the light reflection exceeds 60% of the total area of ​​the gemstone, it can be called high clarity. Cutting is also an important factor in determining value. Emerald rough is basically a hexagonal cylinder. In order to retain the maximum weight and color, the step shape (also known as emerald shape) is the first choice for cutting. Will be cut into egg shape. An emerald with a good color clarity can exceed the same weight of diamonds, but Mr. Huang also reminded Tibetans that because of the difficulty in identifying emeralds, it is best to ask for a certificate of authentication when purchasing, which proves to be natural emerald. Not colored. Moreover, it is best to go to a prestigious shopping mall or a guaranteed shopping mall. At the same time, you must obtain a shopping voucher, a certificate issued by an authority, and an invoice. In this way, once the purchased product has any problems, you can negotiate with the merchant with the voucher. SHAOXING OCEAN CO., LTD , https://www.sxgarments.com
