The cutting of emerald and other coloured stones is considered as much an art as it is a science. Unlike the perfectly symmetrical cuts prized by the diamond market, coloured stones are usually cut in a more artisanal fashion. The job of the cutter is to cut the stone in a fashion that releases the full potential of the rough material, capturing colour when necessary. The preferred cut is the \u2018emerald cut\u2019 which tends to command a premium over all others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/fusion_content_box][\/fusion_content_boxes][\/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; layout=&#8221;1_2&#8243; spacing=&#8221;&#8221; center_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; hover_type=&#8221;none&#8221; link=&#8221;&#8221; min_height=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; id=&#8221;&#8221; background_color=&#8221;&#8221; background_image=&#8221;&#8221; background_position=&#8221;left top&#8221; undefined=&#8221;&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_color=&#8221;&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; border_position=&#8221;all&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;1&#8243; padding_right=&#8221;1&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;1&#8243; padding_left=&#8221;1&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;1&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;1&#8243; animation_type=&#8221;&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_speed=&#8221;0.3&#8243; animation_offset=&#8221;&#8221; last=&#8221;no&#8221;][fusion_content_boxes layout=&#8221;clean-horizontal&#8221; columns=&#8221;1&#8243; title_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; body_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; backgroundcolor=&#8221;#009874&#8243; circlebordersize=&#8221;0&#8243; outercirclebordersize=&#8221;0&#8243; hover_accent_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.8)&#8221; link_type=&#8221;button&#8221; icon_align=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_speed=&#8221;0.3&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;1&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;1&#8243; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility&#8221;][fusion_content_box title=&#8221;Carat&#8221; backgroundcolor=&#8221;#666666&#8243; iconspin=&#8221;no&#8221; image_width=&#8221;35&#8243; image_height=&#8221;35&#8243; linktext=&#8221;Read More&#8221; link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_speed=&#8221;0.3&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>An emerald\u2019s weight is measured in carats. 5 carats = 1 gram. The term carat is derived from the \u2018carob seed\u2019 that was used in India as a measure of weight for precious stones. All other criteria being equal, the greater the carat weight, the rarer the emerald and therefore greater its value. Illustrated below is the approximate appearance of a well cut octagon shaped emerald for a given carat weight. It is worth noting that emeralds are less dense than diamonds which means if you place two 1 carat stones side by side, the emerald will generally appear around 30% bigger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/fusion_content_box][\/fusion_content_boxes][\/fusion_builder_column][\/fusion_builder_row][\/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=&#8221;yes&#8221; equal_height_columns=&#8221;no&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#009874&#8243; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/hexaresources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0629.jpg&#8221; background_position=&#8221;center top&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; fade=&#8221;no&#8221; background_parallax=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_mobile=&#8221;no&#8221; parallax_speed=&#8221;0.0&#8243; video_aspect_ratio=&#8221;16:9&#8243; video_loop=&#8221;yes&#8221; video_mute=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; margin_top=&#8221;20&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;60&#8243; padding_top=&#8221;26px&#8221; padding_right=&#8221;54&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;18&#8243; padding_left=&#8221;54&#8243;][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=&#8221;1_1&#8243; layout=&#8221;1_1&#8243; spacing=&#8221;yes&#8221; center_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; hover_type=&#8221;none&#8221; link=&#8221;&#8221; min_height=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; id=&#8221;&#8221; background_color=&#8221;&#8221; background_image=&#8221;&#8221; background_position=&#8221;left top&#8221; undefined=&#8221;&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_color=&#8221;&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; border_position=&#8221;all&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;12&#8243; padding_right=&#8221;40&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;10&#8243; padding_left=&#8221;40&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;10&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;10&#8243; animation_type=&#8221;&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_speed=&#8221;0.3&#8243; animation_offset=&#8221;&#8221; last=&#8221;no&#8221;][fusion_title hide_on_mobile=&#8221;small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility&#8221; size=&#8221;6&#8243; content_align=&#8221;center&#8221; style_type=&#8221;default&#8221;]The price of emeralds has continued to strengthen since 2005, up to today prices have increased by over 150%.
