EMERALDS: NATURE’S SIGNATURE
Emeralds are among the world’s most coveted gemstones. Sourced from origins like Colombia, Zambia, and Afghanistan, they are prized for their lush green color and unmistakable presence. Securing these top-quality gems — including the extremely rare non-oil Zambian stone — is no small feat; true collector-grade emeralds are incredibly hard to source, especially those with vivid color and minimal treatment. For collectors, origin, clarity, and the presence of natural inclusions all play a role in determining an emerald’s rarity and worth. At Long’s, we pride ourselves on finding emeralds with minimal visual inclusions, not only for their optical beauty, but also for their enhanced stability and lasting value. To wear an
emerald from Long’s is to own a gemstone that is truly noteworthy — hard to find, impossible to forget, and destined to be cherished for generations.
