How much can an emerald be worth?

The emerald is one of the most coveted and valuable gemstones in the world. This bright green gem, which forms naturally in the earth's crust, has been prized by ancient civilizations such as the Incas and Egyptians, and remains a symbol of luxury and exclusivity today.

At Neogold, our Colombian jewelry store specializing in exclusive pieces for men and women, we work with emeralds of the highest quality. Our gemology experts have developed a deep knowledge of these natural treasures, and can advise you on how to determine the value of an emerald.

Factors that determine the value of an emerald

There are several factors that influence the price of an emerald. These include:

Color

Color is probably the most important factor in determining the value of an emerald. Deep, uniform green emeralds are the most prized and therefore the most expensive. Paler shades or those with visible inclusions will have a lower value.

Purity

The purity of an emerald refers to the presence of inclusions, fractures or internal imperfections. The cleaner and more inclusion-free the stone is, the higher its value. Emeralds with few or no inclusions visible to the naked eye are the rarest and therefore the most valuable.

Size

In general, the larger the emerald, the higher its value. However, this factor also depends on the quality of the stone. A large emerald with inclusions or poor color will have a lower value than a smaller emerald of excellent quality.

Origin

The origin of the emerald also influences its price. Emeralds from historic and well-known mines, such as those in Colombia, tend to be more valuable than those from other origins.

Certification

Having a certificate of authenticity and quality from a recognized institution, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), also increases the value of an emerald.

How to determine the value of an emerald

When determining the value of an emerald, it is important to take all of these factors into account. At Neogold, our gemological experts use advanced techniques, such as microscopic analysis and spectroscopy, to thoroughly evaluate each of our pieces.
