For women who have men that denote all these qualities choosing an Emerald Band Ring for their fianc is an obvious choice.
Fit For A King
Emeralds have always been one of the most highly prized gems on earth. Dug up from the depths of Brazilian, Columbian and Zambian soil, they have been the choice of royalty since time immemorial. There are several green stones but none that can rival the emerald. Considered to be holy by the Aztecs and Incas and adorning the jewellery of Pharaohs, kings, queens and sultans, emeralds have been associated with royalty and continue to add that that touch to the lives of those who choose to wear them. Royalty is also known to wear emerald-studded sunglasses as they are known for their soothing and restorative properties. Though it may not be possible for everyone to bask in the excessive sheen of a cluster of these precious gemstones we can surely pamper our special men with emerald band rings and make them feel like royalty.
Add Glitter To Green
If the grandeur of the green gem, in itself is insufficient for you, go one step further. Indulge- Opt for a diamond and emerald engagement ring. When you are picking that perfect band for that perfect man, you want to ensure that you are getting the very best. Before you settle on what you want to splurge on pay attention to a few details. When it comes to emeralds, unlike other stones, size is not the only factor you grade it on. It is important to balance the carat weight with the quality of the stone. Picking a small emerald that has a better tone and color is a wiser choice than picking a larger stone that is less vivid. A rectangle cut is what you should probably go with as that is the most flattering one for a mans finger.
Ensure that the intensity has not affected the vividness of the stone. A highly saturated emerald may appear black in color and contrastingly, a low-intensity one will appear to have grey tinge. Settle for on that looks clean and clear and is neither too light nor dark. Remember that most Emeralds, though deep green in color will have blue or yellow secondary hue undertones. What you pick would be more of a personal choice.
You Cant Go Wrong With An Emerald
Once you have settled on the emerald, pay attention to the white stones that complement your diamond and emerald engagement ring. They must meet the 4 Cs of Carat, clarity, cut and color. Hes fashionable and suave- now use your good taste and choose between a yellow gold, white gold, platinum or sterling silver setting for that circle of love, for him and see the world turn green with envy.
