To transform this gemstone into a generational heirloom, thoughtful design and proper care are essential, and we at The Natural Gemstone Company can guide you every step of the way. Because the gem is graded included at eye level, selecting a protective setting such as a bezel or a secure four prong mounting with guard rails will preserve the stone from daily knocks and reduce the chance of damage to internal features. A low profile bezel will protect the girdle and edges, while a well engineered prong setting will allow maximum light in, highlighting the gem s brilliance, and adding a discreet halo of diamonds or sapphires can frame the green color and increase long term appeal. Heat treatment used on this stone is a standard, stable enhancement that will not require retreatment, and with routine inspection and gentle cleaning, the stone will remain vivid for generations. We recommend professional cleaning and checking of the mounting every one to two years, along with proper storage and insurance documentation, so the piece retains both its beauty and provenance as it is passed down.
