What is an emerald ring and what makes it special?
As one of the four stones officially designated as gemstones along with diamonds, sapphires and rubies, emeralds are green gems that have fascinated people for thousands of years. Used to adorn ceremonial objects, decorative elements, religious and royal attributes, and jewelry, emeralds derive their value from their rarity, and their beauty from their deep color. A favorite gemstone of Queen Cleopatra, emerald is still very popular in jewelry for the manufacture of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings. Enhanced by the noble material that supports it, such as 18k gold, the stone reveals all its magnificence and enhances your daily life...
How to choose an emerald ring ?
There is no more beautiful metal than gold to highlight the emerald. Gold and emerald rings are elegant and timeless jewelry for women, which can be contemporary or vintage in design, like the jewelry in our Suzanne line for example, so that everyone can find the jewelry of their dreams. One of the cuts, the shape that the cutter has given it, that most enhances the stone has come to be so characteristic of the gem that it is now known as the "emerald cut".
The look will be different if you choose a white gold, yellow gold or rose gold ring. White gold, pure and elegant, will bring out the green of the emerald wonderfully. The yellow gold will bring a sunny character to the jewel, timeless and universal. With rose gold this time, the emerald ring will have a more confidential air, which will certainly not please everyone but will have the merit of not going unnoticed, and of standing out from the most classic jewelry.
Once you've chosen the metal you prefer for your emerald ring, you can narrow down your choice by considering the style of jewelry you want: modern? Classic? Vintage? There's something for everyone... If you're not sure what you like, feel free to browse the selection above!
Finally, the size of the stone (its shape), its carat (its volume) and the fact that the gemstone is the only gem of the jewel or not will finish determining the emerald ring you need. In some designs, the center stone is set with or surrounded by sparkling diamonds, which adds brilliance to the ring. In a pavé version, the ring is covered with small diamonds, either in a full or half circle, for a look that catches the light and glows when you move. Alone, the emerald expresses its enchanting character and is quite capable of standing on its own.
Why give an emerald ring to a woman?
