Emerald 5 Carat: the facts

What 5 carat looks like on the hand

Carat is weight, not width, so a 5-carat emerald reads larger in a shallow cut than in a deep one. At this weight the stone suits an everyday ring in silver or gold without sitting awkwardly high on the finger. If you think in ratti rather than carat, our ratti to carat guide converts it.

Why the price sits where it does

Colour (a vivid, evenly saturated green), clarity (inclusions — the "jardin" — are normal), carat weight, origin (Swat and Colombian stones are prized) and the amount of oil treatment At PKR 10,000 per carat this piece is priced for the better end of the range, which is where evenly coloured, eye-clean material sits. Compare it against the current market in our gemstone price guide for Pakistan.

Who wears it

Mercury (Budh) It is traditionally worn on the little finger of the right hand, set in gold or silver, first worn on a Wednesday morning These attributions come from tradition rather than tested effect, and we sell the stone for what it verifiably is: a natural emerald of 5 carat.

Care

Emerald is brittle and usually oiled; never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and remove it before heavy work.
