I've always wondered about these emeralds quality. I remember Bjarne saying they were extraordinary, but to my eye they always photgraph so dark. QEII's Cambridge emeralds and the emeralds worn by Queen Annemarie of Greece have a stunning green glow as if they were lit from behind. I wonder if it has to do with the setting of these particular stones, their opacity, or simply where they were mined.
