How rare is a natural emerald?
1 Answer

A completely natural emerald is rare. Often, emeralds go through treatments to enhance their appearance or durability. Compared to diamonds, emeralds are actually 20 times rarer. While they’re rare, emeralds are gemstones to purchase if you’re on a budget because they appear larger than a diamond of the same carat weight due to their lower density. Emeralds are believed by many to symbolize royalty, love and mysticism. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of emerald jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
