Beautiful Emerald Engagement Ring An emerald is an unusual choice for an engagement ring but it is a truly stunning stone. Its unique color will make any ring stand out. With the right skin tone an emerald engagement ring will look truly stunning. What’s more an emerald is thought to improve clairvoyant abilities and possesses healing powers.

Emerald engagement ring If your sweetie believes in the realm of the unseen then an emerald engagement ring could be the perfect ring for her. Even if you don’t believe in these supposed properties an emerald is a very beautiful stone and it would make an especially meaningful engagement ring if your fiancé were born in May.

Color Variations Usually the color of the emerald is green but there are variations in the color. Emerald engagement rings can also be blue green in color besides the traditional green. The hue of green can also vary from a very dark green to a lighter green. The most valuable emerald engagement rings are those with blue-green stones. Stones with brown or yellow hues should be avoided as they are not as attractive and are less valuable.

Inclusions to Look Out For Just like diamonds there are certain inclusions that emeralds have. Inclusions lower the value and price of an emerald thus lowering the value of your emerald engagement ring if there are any inclusions present in your ring’s stone. A fracture in the emerald, also known as a feather, is a serious inclusion that you should check for in your emerald engagement ring.

Colors in different lights The stone should be a clear color and should not change colors in different lights. You should also have an emerald with a transparent color. Sometimes darker emeralds will not have this transparency but if you like the color then go ahead and buy it. Emeralds should never be cloudy.

Making Cuts Usually emeralds are cut into rectangular or square shapes. You can still opt to have other cuts such as heart shaped cuts, pear, and round. Be prepared to pay more for these cuts as it takes great precision to cut the stones into these shapes.

Double Check There are some things you should ask your jeweler before buying emeralds. First you should ask if the emeralds are synthetic or real. Synthetic emeralds have been manufactured in a lab and are not as valuable as mined emeralds. Some emeralds have also been composed of a small emerald and a synthetic or imitation stone; check that you are getting the real deal.
