Emerald Rings And Their Beauty

There is no doubt regarding the fact that emerald rings look beautiful. They are one of the most beautiful and gorgeous stones that can be set in a ring. Emerald rings are as popular as the typical white diamond rings because of their brilliant color and even better appeal. The rich and deep green hue is what makes them even more desirable. Not to forget that green is a color of fertility. Therefore, if you are presenting emerald rings on your engagement or on your wedding, you will definitely be appreciated for your concerns in choosing a ring that is not only beautiful but has a symbolic meaning too.

Emeralds get their beautiful color because of Beryl mixed with vanadium or chromium. It is a colorless mineral that gets deposited in the emeralds. Almost all emeralds are oil treated stones because of which their intensity and color remain preserved for a long time. Without the oil treatment, the color of these stones can be lost. The oil treatment fills up the small gaps that occur in emerald naturally and prevents any kind of cracking in the stone, especially when they are being precision cut. This is also the reason why soaking the emerald ring is never recommended. It removes the oil coating and the stones loses its sheen. Moreover, it get a very matte effect and becomes more prone to cracking. Emeralds are really special stones to buy. This is the reason why they always demand special care from you.

Emeralds are quite rare as well. If you get a flawless emerald then you will definitely be paying a significantly higher price than a flawless diamond. All emeralds generally come with certain inclusions. A flawless emerald will be the one which have inclusions that are microscopic in nature. You will have to use a magnifying device to check the real flaws in these stones. Emerald rings score highly in this regard. Though a flawless emerald is extremely rare, you can definitely invest in the emerald rings and get some really great benefits because of that. A special ‘emerald cut’ is also used for these stones. However, make sure that you don’t confuse between true emeralds and other varieties. Columbian emeralds are considered to be true emeralds around the world. However, vanadium emeralds are not considered true emeralds outside of the US.  Ask the jeweler about this distinction before you buy any emerald rings.
