Emeralds at Margems
Emerald is the green variety of beryl with a deep, saturated colour. At Margems you can buy faceted emeralds and rough for cutting to your own project.
Classic sources are Colombia (the colour benchmark), Zambia and Brazil. Natural inclusions (the 'jardin', or garden) are normal for emerald and a sign of authenticity, not a flaw. Most emeralds are traditionally treated with oil or resin to improve clarity - we state the degree of treatment on the certificate (GRS, GIA, SSEF or equivalent).
You describe the brief - shade, weight, budget, purpose - and a manager selects specific stones with photos and certificates. Prices are in USD; payment and shipping are agreed individually.
