Emeralds have been prized for centuries for their stunning beauty, but did you know they also offer a range of benefits beyond their aesthetic appeal? From promoting emotional healing to improving physical health, emerald jewellery has been associated with many positive effects. Today, we’ll explore the many benefits of emerald jewellery, from its ability to enhance your style to its potential to improve your overall well-being.
Emerald Characteristics
Emerald gemstones are renowned for their rich green colour and unique properties. However, one of the most notable characteristics of emeralds is a feature called natural inclusion, which gives each stone a one-of-a-kind appearance. These inclusions (also known as ‘Jardin’) are formed by mineral deposits and other elements trapped within the crystal structure during the gemstone’s formation process. While some may view these inclusions as flaws, others see them as an iconic part of the emerald’s beauty and character and what makes them unique amongst the other gemstones.
Whether you are drawn to emeralds for their stunning appearance, spiritual properties, or practical uses in jewellery, there is no denying the beauty and allure of these gemstones. With their rich green colour and unique characteristics, emeralds are a treasure that has been cherished and admired for generations.
Spiritual Healing With Emerald Gemstones
Emeralds are not only aesthetically stunning gemstones but are also known for their powerful healing properties. From the earliest historical examples, emeralds have been associated with healing and wellness in many cultures. They are said to promote spiritual feelings in the wearer, such as:
- Love
- Harmony
- Balance
The spiritual nature of this gemstone is also connected to the belief in chakras. Chakras refer to seven specific energy centres of the body and correspond with various aspects of life, such as physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. For example, emeralds’ green colour is associated with the heart chakra, the energy centre that governs emotions, love, and compassion. As a result, emerald is often used in related healing practices to help balance and open the heart chakra.
Physical Healing With Emerald Gemstones
Emeralds are also believed to have physical healing properties. Many believe emeralds will help soothe the mind and alleviate anxiety, making them popular for meditation and relaxation practices among owners with stressful careers. In addition, physical ailments such as headaches, digestive issues, and respiratory problems are thought to be eased and even cured by these popular gemstones.
One of the reasons why emeralds are believed to have such strong healing properties is because of their unique crystal structure. Like other gemstones, emeralds are formed from minerals subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years. This process creates a crystal lattice structure believed to hold energy and information. As a result, crystal healing practitioners say emeralds will help balance and align the body’s energy centres (the chakras), promoting overall wellness and vitality.
Ways to Wear Emeralds
Emeralds are a popular choice of gemstone for jewellery designers due to their beautiful aesthetic appeal and practicality. With their inherent hardness and durability, there are many emerald jewellery styles. They are often paired with other contrasting gemstones to create striking and unique jewellery pieces, as combined in this example ring below.
The designer of this gorgeous Emerald and Diamond Eternity Ring chose an alternating combination of round-cut emeralds and brilliant-cut diamonds that help enhance each other’s beauty. The pleasantly contrasting colours are further enhanced with the 18ct yellow-gold band they are set in, creating a surprisingly broad range of colours within a single emerald ring. This outstanding piece is available for £3,500.00.
Another example is these Emerald and Diamond Oval Earrings. This stunning pair uses the same combination of gemstones but replaces the yellow gold with 18ct white gold. The oval cluster design showcases the natural beauty of the emeralds, which are known for their deep green hue and elegant appearance. These earrings would make a perfect addition to any formal outfit, adding a touch of sophistication and glamour to any occasion. They are available online at £2,500.00.
However, the best option to keep the emerald close to your heart chakra is to choose a piece like this Emerald and Diamond Cluster Pendant. Featuring a line of exquisite emeralds and diamonds, this pendant is crafted from 18ct white gold for a luxurious finish. The drop cluster design is elegant and modern, showcasing the natural beauty of the emeralds and diamonds and is sure to turn heads while wearing it. The pendant comes with a matching chain, making it easy to wear and perfect for layering with other necklaces. This piece is perfect for adding a pop of colour to any outfit, whether for a formal occasion or everyday wear and keeps this spiritual gemstone close to your heart at all times.
