Their commitment guarantees unparalleled quality, sustainability, and ethical practices. When you choose our emeralds, you're choosing beauty, quality, and responsible luxury.

Our rare Colombian emeralds are amongst the most coveted gemstones on the planet. The allure and rarity of these stones are attributed to their several unique characteristics. Here’s what distinguishes BOTERA emeralds from the rest:

• ORIGIN: Renowned for their unmatched quality and unique color, our emeralds come directly from Muzo, Colombia. Our supplier guarantees ethical sourcing and handling.
• COLOR: Our emeralds exhibit stunning hues, ranging from light to dark green, distinct to their native region. They have a tone that is neither too blue nor too yellow. Their hues are uniform throughout each stone, the attribute determinant of their high quality.
• CLARITY: Inclusions, or internal features developed during the emerald's formation process, define the stone’s clarity. The emerald's inclusions, or "jardin," give each stone its unique identity and a clue about its origin. BOTERA emeralds exhibit high purity for optimal brilliance.
• CUT: Our emeralds are meticulously cut, enhancing their beauty, and increasing their value.
• TREATMENT: As a well-known practice, most Colombian emeralds use natural oil treatments to clear mining and cutting residues and enhance the stone's beauty while retaining its natural color and tone intact.
• EMERALD ETHICS. RESPONSIBLY SOURCED & HANDLED: We prioritize ethical sourcing and handling, partnering with industry leaders committed to sustainable and ethical practices.

At BOTERA, every piece is made exclusively from solid gold.

The gold we use is 100% free from zinc and nickel.

• HIGHER PURITY: With a higher gold content, 18K gold is perceived as more valuable and opulent.
• VIBRANT HUE: The higher gold content in 18K gold lends it a richer and more intense yellow hue compared to 14K gold.
• INVESTMENT VALUE: Viewing your fine jewelry as an investment? The purity of 18K gold enables it to retain its value better over time.
• CIRCULARITY JEWELRY: For us, the use of 18K gold is a strategic choice that enables the process of circularity. When a piece is melted down to create something new, inevitably the weight of the gold decreases. We use 18K gold because it has a higher gold content, which makes it easier to upcycle time and time again to make new pieces.

While our pieces are made for daily use, store them safely when not being worn. For detailed care and cleaning information, read our How to Care guide.
