Pantone Color of the Year 2013

It's here, it's here, it's finally here!  Pantone has selected their color of the year for 2013, drum roll please.....Emerald! Let everyone with a May birthday get excited as they might see quite a few more striking birthstone pieces this year!

In the jewelry business it is important to note a few characteristics of emeralds. Take a quick look at the information below to find out more.

• First, they are not a strong enough stone to wear on a daily basis. This does not make the suitable for engagement rings.
• Second, they are a beryl mineral, the same as aquamarines. Unlike aquamarines they crystallize closer to the Earth's surface and therefore have more fractures and scratches.
• Third, the finest colors for emerald gemstones are green blue transparent stones with strong saturation. 
• Fourth, emeralds of fine quality often times come from Columbia and countries in South America.
• Fifth, the Emerald is the birthstone for May.
