Color in Natural Emeralds

Color is the biggest factor in establishing the value and quality in natural emeralds. Color is divided into: Hue, Tonal Grade, and Saturation. Hue refers to the kind of green color the emerald has. It gives a name to the color.

Tonal grade establishes the degree of darkness or lightness of the green color in the gem. Natural emeralds present a wide variety of green tones.The most desirable emeralds are medium to dark green.

How vivid and how much power the green has is as important as how dark it is. That is what we call Saturation in the color. Saturation is the strength or intensity of the color, ranging from a dull hue (green) to a pure vivid hue.

The purer and the richer the emerald’s color, the more it cost. Emerald prices soar as the depth and saturation of color increases.

Just as the right combination of ingredients can raise an ordinary recipe to gourmet status, the slightest variations in tone and saturation can make a tremendous difference in price.
