Verdant Green is a term used to describe the finest color in emeralds. It was introduced in June 2017 by Guild Gem Lab together with the Colombia Emerald Technology Development Center (CDTEC).

This color falls within the Vivid Green category, but only emeralds with strong saturation and well-balanced brightness can be classified as Verdant Green. The result is a rich, lively, and intense green that stands out for its beauty and depth.

In the Guild Gem Lab grading system, Verdant Green is not linked to any specific origin. Any emerald that shows exceptional color- bright, vivid, rich, saturated - can receive this top rating.
