What are Jardines in Emeralds?

Minimum Acceptable Clarity Levels in a Jyotish Emerald

Natural Colombian Emerald

The alluring emerald forms a distinct variety of gemstone by itself. A gem that makes it into the big three of the colored gemstones â€“ Ruby, Sapphire and emeralds, the emeralds are highly valued and prized. However, unlike its other counterparts, its value is determined most by the color and cut and clarity have a relatively lesser role to play.

The emerald gem is a result of quite a few elements coming together in its process of formation, which takes hundreds of millions of years, and therefore it occurs as a highly included gem naturally.

The inclusions within the emeralds are actually accepted as marks of being genuine. If one is getting a relatively inclusion free emerald at anything less than a prohibitive price point, it should be a red flag!

Inclusion free, naturally occurring flawless emeralds of significant size will be very few and whatever specimens are available will cost an arm and a leg!

These inclusions of emeralds are very different from the flaws and inclusions in diamonds. While diamond is pure carbon, emerald is a mix of more elements beryllium aluminium silicate to be precise! Its formation through a complex process with the interaction of several elements invariably leads to generation of a crystal that is included. Most of the emeralds will have three phase inclusions â€“ with fluid, gas as well as crystals within the emerald.

The most valued emeralds have a rich green color with ever so little hint of a bluish tint with good saturation, display the oil drop effect and are relatively inclusion free. The trade always looks the factors of absence or presence of treatment and color first while determining the value of an emerald.

What Exactly are Jardines?

The emerald dealers have romanticised the inclusions by calling them jardines- the French word for gardens! Jardines help establish the authenticity of the gem and also help in distinguishing the origin of the gem in a huge way.
