Collection: Cabochon Emeralds

We offer cabochon-cut emeralds from the Shakiso area in southern Ethipia. Emerald, a variety of the mineral beryl, derives its intense green color from traces of chromium and often contains inclusions, referred to as jardin (French for “garden”). With a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, emeralds are relatively durable but should be handled with care and preferably set in pendants or earrings.
