What "minor oil" means

Almost all emeralds are oiled to soften the look of natural inclusions. It's the standard, accepted treatment in the trade. Minor oil is the lightest level, so what you see is close to the stone's natural state.

About the appraisal certificate

This is an appraisal certificate (Certificate of Evaluation) signed by a GIA Graduate Gemologist, not a full gemological lab report. It is shown in the photos so you can read exactly what it says.

Why Zambia

Zambia is one of the world's leading sources of fine emerald, known for deep green colour with a slightly bluish tone.

For the engagement ring buyer

• Over 2.5 carats, a statement centre stone
• The emerald cut shows off colour with long, elegant step facets
• Beautiful in a solitaire, a diamond halo or a three-stone ring
• Emerald is a little softer than sapphire, so a protective setting such as a bezel or prongs with cut corners is a good choice for everyday wear

A gemstone for him: the men's signet ring

At Roho Jewels, we believe men deserve beautiful gemstones too. A natural Zambian emerald set into a signet ring is a bold, personal alternative to a plain metal signet: one-of-a-kind, full of character, and a ring he'll wear for decades and one day pass down.

• Signet face: at 8.19 × 7.42 mm, this stone suits a signet face of about 12–15 mm (most men choose a face of about 15–18 mm), great on the ring or middle finger
• Setting: flush (gypsy), bezel or half-bezel keeps it low and smooth, with no claws to catch on sleeves or gloves
• Depth: the stone is about 5 mm deep, so ask your jeweler for a signet head at least 6 mm deep
• Metal: rich in yellow gold, sharp in white gold or platinum, rugged in oxidised sterling silver
• Wear: Mohs 7.5–8. A flush or bezel setting protects the edges, making it ideal for a dress signet or careful everyday wear
• Worn for: every day, or to mark a wedding, a graduation or a milestone birthday

Birthstone meaning

Emerald is the birthstone for May and the traditional gemstone for 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries, long a symbol of love, renewal and loyalty.
