The Best 5 Reasons For Emerald Engagement Rings

IntroductionAny of your favourite gemstones can be used to produce your Engagement Ring, but one of the best is that of an Emerald Engagement Ring. Others that are most commonly found, may be that of Ruby Engagement Rings, Sapphire, Diamonds and Tanzanite Engagement Rings.



All the usual shapes and sizes, clarity and colours, as well as cut quality, are available for you to choose from with these emerald set rings.

No matter what style of emerald you do choose for your ring, they will usually be set with diamonds. These are usually set either side of a central emerald, or around it as a cluster style. They are not very popular set on their own.

5 Reasons For Choosing These Gemstones Are:

1. History Of Emeralds

This stone has been known to give patience and wisdom, power and healing, as well as historically being linked to providing eternal spring and long lasting life. It is said to change colour upon infidelity from the wearer.

2. Emerald Tradition

They have historically been one of the favourite choices to adorn the jewels of many Royalties jewels and crowns, and size for size, and with all else being equal, they are one the most expensive of precious gemstones in the world today.

3. Colour Of Emerald

Its wonderful grass green colour is said to be the best and most wanted, was symbolically linked to the Roman Goddess of love, called Venus, to signify that of eternal love and everlasting beauty.

4. Clarity Of Emerald

The clarity of emerald is important, but not as much as colour. Obviously the clearer the stone the more valuable, but the greater number of natural inclusions seen in side emeralds compared to other gems, in some eyes actually enhances its beauty, as well as obviously giving it more individuality.

5. Emerald Birthstone

Emeralds are the birthstone for people who are indeed born in the month of May and are also linked to the Zodiac sign of Cancer, so obviously will provide a great symbolic link if you have a connection to these.

Conclusion

The metals that are used to set off other gemstones are used just the same with emeralds, such as 9ct and more often 18ct, white and yellow gold types, as well as, but less commonly platinum. The use of white gold seems to have become very popular over the last few years with many.

emeralds are fairly soft in comparison to the other most popular types of stones employed for using in engagement rings, so obviously a little care and attention has to be used. If you think you may be going to possible subject the stone to knocks and scratches, then it is much better to remove it when necessary. They can be kept looking as good as new by cleaning with a soft toothbrush immersed in a little warm and soapy water. But never try to clean in hot water, steam, or in a ultrasonic bath.

One of the best reasons to make them your favourite, is that Historically Cleopatra suggested it was indeed one of her favourites!
