Shopping for Emerald?
The Emerald Collection
Emerald is the best-known green gemstone, and it has a page of its own with every emerald design we list.
Green Gemstone Jewelry
Green gemstones in our catalog come from three stones: emerald, peridot and green lab-grown diamond. Each earns its color differently. Emerald is a beryl colored by chromium, and it shows the deepest and most saturated green of the three. Peridot is olivine and runs from fresh yellow-green to olive. Green lab-grown diamond is grown in a lab and has the same hardness as any other diamond, which makes it the most resilient green you can wear.
Hardness decides where each stone belongs. Emerald rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, but it usually carries fine internal fractures, so a hard knock can chip it. It wears best in a bezel or a halo that shields its edges. Most emerald is treated with oil or resin to improve clarity, so clean it with a soft cloth and mild soap and keep it out of ultrasonic cleaners. Peridot rates 6.5 to 7 and picks up scratches from everyday grit. Earrings and pendants are its best home, and in a ring it suits occasional wear and a protective setting. Green lab-grown diamond rates 10 and takes daily wear in any ring setting.
Green pairs with warm and cool metals alike. Yellow gold deepens emerald and warms peridot, while platinum and white gold keep the green cool and crisp. A halo of diamonds frames a green center stone and adds sparkle. Green also sits easily against neutrals such as ivory, navy and black, so it works as an everyday color and not only for occasions.

Green Gemstone Names
- Emerald (Mohs 7.5–8). The best-known green gemstone, and mostly oil-treated.
- Peridot (Mohs 6.5–7). Lime yellow-green and the August birthstone.
Emerald needs a protective setting such as a bezel, or a halo with corner prongs. Peridot works in a standard solitaire or pavé setting.
