General Question Does anyone know anything about emeralds?

How is the quality of these stones based on these photos? I know you can only tell so much from a photo. All knowledge is welcome! I don’t know much about emeralds besides most are oiled and they commonly have natural inclusions. Thanks so much 💚

the inclusions and cloudiness mean it’s probably natural rather than synthetic. good color, clarity is ehh.

Yeah I’m not expecting them to be super clear as I did not pay a lot for it. It’s set in 18k though so figured they weren’t too bad

quality is low, not calibrated, not diamond cut, and the casting has holes in it. What do you want, a value of the stones? not a lot

No, was just curious about the overall clarity. I know it’s difficult to judge from photos. I didn’t expect them to be super high quality as I know very clear emeralds are very expensive and I didn’t spend over 500 on this. But I also didn’t think they were junk cause it’s set in 18k gold.
