Emerald is a green gemstone that is widely used in jewelry making. This is a fairly hard mineral that lends itself well to cutting. Emerald symbolizes success, love, fidelity, faith, and courage. According to ancient legends, the emerald shows its owner the path to glory.
In the process of completing the lesson, make sure that both sides of the emerald are symmetrical. While working, you can use improvised tools, but I recommend that you draw all the lines yourself. If you want the emerald to look more realistic, then use different shades to paint the emerald’s facets and add highlights.

Add two even straight lines that converge at one point.
