Things To Consider Before Buying Emerald Engagement Rings

By Brian Rogers


With the ups and downs that life has to offer, it would be great to have someone to weather those storms with. Those who have already found a significant other and would not want to lose them start considering marriage not long after. This involves planning for the perfect proposal and choosing an over the top ring in some cases. The following considerations should be made when it comes to emerald engagement rings.

The uniqueness of the emerald cut. This design is not only suitable for this stone but can also work well for diamonds and other stones. It often comes off rectangular and has a perfect shine when it reflects light off it. This option is versatile as designers can come up with different pieces depending on the needs of the client.

Opt for other cuts. The princess kind creates a square gem that has a slight rise in the middle. A round cut is similar to the latter except that the final shape that is created is round. The pear cut is round on one side and pointed on the other. A ring that is pointed on both ends is said to have a marquise cut. A popular design for emeralds is the round cut.

Consider the color and possibility of inclusions. These stones have a rich green color. Some of these stones could have a touch of yellow or blue color alongside them. The kind that is richly green is rare and can be quite expensive. Most emeralds have inclusions and go through treatments to minimize their visibility. The surfaces can be treated using polymers, and in some cases, heat treatment is used.

Select the carat size. There is always a lot of fuss over the number of carats that a ring has. This is because this determines the worth of the ring. A large size is more pricey than a smaller one that is probably used for earrings. There are different sizes one can choose from, and the choice will depend on the budget that one has.

Research on the emerald stone. Those who have this stone are assumed wealthy, as this is one of the most expensive gems. It is also believed to bring good luck to couples or those who are in a marriage. It serves as a symbol of hope, and it could, therefore, mean good fortune for individuals who are together.

Be aware of imitation rings. Some people are professionals at passing off fake jewelry as the real thing. They may still sell them at higher prices, and unsuspecting clients may pay assuming that they are investing in something legit. The best thing to do is go to a jeweler who can know whether a particular item is real or fake.

Select where to purchase. Selected stores have the original items. There are also online stores that may sell the same items. Stores that have a physical location are likely to have jewelers on site to help clients know the right rings to purchase. This is the best place to try on different rings before selecting the perfect one.
