An emerald valuation establishes whether the stone is natural or synthetic, the extent of fissure filling — a very common emerald treatment — and colour and clarity quality. These factors support the market valuation. An HRD Antwerp accredited gemmologist performs the examination.
Emerald is prized for its rich green colour, but fissure-filling treatments are widespread in the market. The extent of treatment can significantly affect value.
What we examine
