In the world of emeralds, far less well known are emeralds found from a small and largely historic pocket in Torrington, New South Wales. The emerald crystals found in this location tend to present beautiful green colour banding caused by chromium (which confirms emerald and not green beryl). In order to display even green colour in the finished stone, it must be cut with the colour band within the girdle. To say these are rare is an understatement. Torrington emeralds are largely not found on the open market. As expected in emerald, these stones have inclusions – the larger stone contains fewer inclusions and brighter colour than the smaller gem though both are nicely bright and display their brilliant cuts well. A further note should be made that these are not treated, unlike the bulk of available emerald.

This adorable round parti sapphire is cut in the design Ruination by Arya Akahavan. Flashes of green, blue and yellow are seen in this lovely gem. The sparkle this design brings to the stone is wonderful. This piece of gem art would sit happily in a ring for every day wear. The gem has a darker body tone, making the colour flashes more subtle. Photos on the mirrored backround are lit with LED lighting. White, floral and timber backround photos are lit with shaded sunlight.
