An individual recently wrote us to inquire about the treatments used on the gemstones offered by Embassy Emeralds. It is true that not all dealers disclose the utilization of treatments, though we certainly believe they should.
As you may know, treatments are used to enhance the visual appearance of the stone by filling minute fissures that exist in all natural emeralds, allowing for less interruption in the transmission of light as it passes thru the stone. Cedarwood oil is one of many available treatments.
How long the treatment will last depends on a number of factors, such as frequency of use (everyday vs. special occasions) and how the gemstones are stored when not in use. In particular, gemstones that are frequently exposed to high temperatures will loose the benefits of the treatment much faster than gemstones stored in a cool, dark, and dry place when not in use. In any case, once the treatment subsides, it can retreated a qualified jeweler.
Cedarwood oil has no effect on the durability of the stone.
