Who is the certifying body of the jewels?
How many Emeralds are we talking here?
Are they Colombian?
Carats?
Cuts?
Overall size?
Only the finest of Emeralds are worth more than Rubies, Sapphires or Diamonds. Such Emeralds are VERY rare and are actually worth over $30,000 (Real, I mean US dollars) per carat. The vast vast majority of Emeralds are flawed, and not near anywhere NEAR this figure.
If they're of high quality they can be worth a good deal of money (meaning not the absolute finest and rarest, but still of high quality) at $2500 - $7500. Check the certified quality, maybe you didn't get ripped off after all. But you must ask yourself, why would someone sell you a $5000 Emerald for $1000?
"BE DIALING!"
