As most gem experts agree, the 10 carat Colombian emerald set in the antique gold ring would have originally gone through the natural oil treatment. In normal circumstances, it is highly recommended that an emerald not be soaked in water for more than a few minutes. This is because the oils used to treat the emerald could be damaged, this will obviously reduce the beauty of the gemstone.
