Are emeralds suitable for an engagement ring?

The 4Cs of Emeralds

Like all gemstones, emeralds in rings are judged by the 4Cs – colour, clarity, cut and carat weight. Emerald engagement rings should be chosen with care, paying attention to the 4Cs. This would help you find the perfect emerald engagement ring that is also a fine investment.

Colour
When it comes to emeralds, colour is the most considered aspect. Emeralds are always green, with a beautiful range of shades lovingly imbued by nature.
♦ Emerald green should be deep with an even saturation.
♦ The shades range from the most popular bluish green to yellowish green.
♦ For colour, emeralds are graded natural AAA, AA or A. Natural AAA is the finest quality among emeralds, signifying a pure green colour and high brilliance.

Clarity
Most emeralds have inclusions called 'Jardin', which means 'garden'. These make them unique as well as quite opaque. However, the most valuable emeralds exhibit fine clarity. These are very rare in nature and are very expensive as well.

Cut
Like all gemstones, emeralds in engagement rings are cut to show off maximum pure colour and least inclusions. Emerald rings are available in all the well-known gemstone shapes like the trillion cut, pear, marquise, cushion and so on.

The emerald cut was the traditional cut created specifically for emeralds. It is a rectangular step cut with soft steps around the edges that adds depth and shows off the clarity of the emerald beautifully. The step-cut emerald has extraordinary sparkle and is exceptionally popular in engagement rings. All gemstones cut in this fashion, including emeralds, diamonds, rubies, or sapphires, exude subtle elegance.

You can find emerald engagement rings in brilliant cuts and mixed cuts too. Cabochon cuts, featuring a rounded top and a flat base, are among the most affordable styles of emerald rings.

Carat
The weight of an emerald is measured in carats, like with diamonds and other gemstones. The higher the carat weight, the more expensive the emerald is likely to be. Moreover, a premium quality emerald engagement ring can be more valuable than diamond rings of the same caratage!

♥ Buy your emerald engagement ring from reputed jewellers who ensure quality. Good quality gemstone jewelry is often accompanied by certificates attesting to their hallmarking, weight and source.
♥ Check the hallmarking of gold used in your ring. This indicates the purity of the metal. In solid gold, we have 18k (750), 14k (585) and so on. Sterling silver rings are stamped SS or 925.

Caring for your emerald engagement ring
