Colombian emeralds prevail in dominance with its unprecedented colour, fire and intensity. Prized for their transparency, superior crystal structure and fire, the rarest and most expensive emeralds in the world come from the Boyacá region; Muzo being the most fabled of the world’s great heritage gemstone mines and Muzo emeralds reign among knowledgeable connoisseurs and collectors.
These exceptional gemstones emerged from a black, carbonaceous shale that constitutes the primary host rock; rich in chromium and vanadium, the cause of emerald’s intense green colour, these chemicals contribute to the gemstone’s unique visual appeal. However, it has been suggested that the presence of high levels of chromium and vanadium in combination with diminished amounts of iron in emerald’s atomic structure cause internal crystallographic stress resulting in fractures that characteristically lower the clarity of these intensely green gems. Consequently, high clarity emeralds are extremely rare and highly prized.
Presented in this lot is a matched pair of 7.32 and 6.46 carats Muzo Colombian emeralds from the legendary Muzo mines. Appropriately named ‘The Green Jewels’, inspired by the first Green Jewel ring that started the collaboration, these gemstones exhibit a matching homogenous lush green colour and possess a high clarity rarely seen in the market. Complemented by precious Argyle pink diamonds, the enchanting ring captivates and enthralls the beholder while representing the ultimate brand fusion of two exceptionally rare gems from two extreme geographical regions: Muzo Emerald Colombia and Argyle.
