Emerald (Panna) Price Guide

Emerald (Panna) Price Guide

Emerald (also known as Panna) is a green colour precious gemstone which affects us in many ways. In Vedic astrology, it is the most reputed gemstone and it was worn to achieve success in business and career. Emerald is a fairly expensive gemstone which always remains in demand in national and international gemstone markets.

If you wish to buy Emerald for any particular reason, the most important thing you must keep in mind before making a purchase is that you are buying a real and authentic gemstone at a fair price. Therefore, it is highly recommended that before buying, you must acquaint yourself a little knowledge about how Emerald pricing is done and how it can vary in the market. Just like the other gemstones available in the market, the price of a Emerald stone is dependant on four major parameters which are also commonly known as the 4C’s i.e. colour, carat, clarity and cut. However, there are other factors also which heavily influence and cater to the pricing of Emerald such as the origin place of the gemstone, rarity and demand in the market.

Therefore, to make your purchase of a Emerald stone an easy process, we bring you the following important factors which you should always consider and keep in mind before buying it.

Origin

Origin of gemstones is very important. Columbian Emerald is considered the finest quality Emerald. In this country, Emerald mines are situated in Muzo, Chivor and Coscuez. Other countries where Emerald is available are Brazil, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Madagascar, Nigeria, Zambia, Russia and Zimbabwe.

Colour

Color is the main deciding factor in Emerald. You must look at the colour or hue of an Emerald stone before purchasing it. Bright and deep green stones which have a strong colour are desired in Emerald. Pure green stones are preferred to stones blue or yellow tints. Blue tint is common in Emerald and this lowers its price. Colour saturation in an Emerald gemstone refers to its colour strength. Rich saturation in the the stone has the ability to reflect the light in a better way. On the other hand, weak saturation will make it look flat and dull.

Carat

While wearing any gemstone, it is important to know how many carats (ratti) is the ideal weight of the stone as the power of gems is entirely dependent on its weight and size. Ideally, it is said and observed that one carat for 12 kgs is perfect that is a 60 kg person should wear 5 carat of Emerald ring/pendant. The price per carat of the Emerald increases with the increasing carats. Though, one can easily find the quality of a large Panna as larger stones are more beautiful in comparison to the smaller stones.

Clarity

Most Emeralds have natural inclusions and rarely free of visible inclusions. So, Emeralds with less or free of visible inclusions are highly priced.

Cut

The cut is also very important while fixing the price of an Emerald gemstone or any other gemstone as well. The cut and finish of the stone depicts the quality and sheen of the gemstone and therefore the more finished and smooth the gemstone, the more pricing it will have in the market. Highly faceted gemstones are more expensive than the poorly cut stones due to the extra stone wastage, labor & other costs incurred in the process. There are some cuts in Emerald that are highly valuable and reflect more light through it. Rectangle cut is the most common shape of this stone. Apart from this, oval, pear, round, teardrop cuts are also in demand.

Certificate

If you buy a gemstone from a reputed and trusted gemstone expert, then they will surely give you a certificate from a reputed laboratory. This certificate will ensure the quality, origin, color and cut of the stone.
