emeralds from the Urals and Zambia

An emerald is a vivid coloured stone, and we believe vivid stones should be large. In our rings we set emeralds from 3 carats, and the largest specimens reach 20–30 carats. The collection is made up of emeralds from the Urals and Zambia.

We cut the stones ourselves, bringing emerald rough to the perfect brilliance of precisely finished facets. Our cutting school was born in the Urals, home of the Ural emeralds, and its cutting standards were laid down back in the USSR.

glow and depth

An emerald owes its colour to chromium and vanadium, while iron mutes it. Ural emeralds are rich in chromium: in daylight they glow from within, in shades from mint and neon to deep grass green. Zambian stones hold more iron: they glow less, but their colour is deeper, cooler, with a touch of blue, and barely changes with the light — the stone looks the same by day and in the evening.

We don't think one is better than the other: they are two different characters of green, and the one to choose is the one that speaks to you.
