The Story: Colombian emeralds are renowned around the world for their exceptional quality and deep, rich green color. Colombia has been one of the main producers of emeralds for centuries, with significant deposits located in the Eastern Andes Mountains, particularly in the regions of Boyacá and Cundinamarca. Colombian emeralds are prized for their transparency, brilliance and unique appearance, referred to as “velvety”, due to the presence of natural inclusions called “garden” that enrich their character. These gemstones have been prized since ancient times for their rarity and beauty, adorning royal jewels and captivating collectors and connoisseurs alike.
