What does “oiled emerald” really mean? 👀 Ever heard of oil in emeralds? Almost every emerald you see has been placed in cedar oil during cutting, this fills tiny surface fractures and makes the gem look clearer and brighter. It’s a centuries-old, accepted practice that doesn’t hurt value. The issue comes when stones are over-treated with excess oil or modern fillers like tinted resins. Think of oil like makeup, it enhances beauty. Resins is more like plastic surgery. #assay #emeralds | Assay Je

Only 1% of emeralds in the world get this honorable title. And today… we’re unboxing one of them. This 2.31ct Colombian emerald is no-oil which already makes it rarer than rare but what makes it even more extraordinary is the way it glows. AAA quality, eye-clean, vivid, silky green… the kind of stone that feels almost unreal when you hold it. But here’s why that “no-oil” detail matters: Most emeralds 99 percent of them are gently oiled. Not to hide flaws, but to improve transparency and fill mic

Thinking about buying a Colombian emerald? 💚 Here’s what you need to know! 🇨🇴✨ Not all emeralds are created equal—Colombian emeralds are prized for their vivid green color, rarity, and rich history.

Here’s the truth, That emerald you paid thousands for is filled with oil, 90% of natural emeralds are treated with oil to fill microscopic fractures and improve clarity. It’s a practice that’s been used for centuries, Emeralds naturally have inclusions (tiny internal features) that give each stone its own “fingerprint.” Oiling makes them look clearer and more vibrant, but it also means they require special care. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or high heat stick to mild soap, lukewar

Xavier Exelle | 🇫🇷 French Gem Dealer on Instagram: "The emerald oil paradox: everyone expects treatment, but the best stones have none Here’s the contradiction at the heart of the emerald market: oil treatment is so common that buyers expect it. Dealers normalize it. Certificates document it as standard practice. But the stones high jewelry brands and serious investors chase? They’re not oiled at all. Oil treatment fills surface-reaching fissures to mask fractures. It’s accepted. It’s widespre
