Emerald Engagement Rings
Emeralds, one of the world's four precious gemstones, are renowned for their vibrant green color and rarity. They belong to the beryl family, which also includes aquamarine and other beryls in various colors. Emeralds are characterized by their bold colors ranging from green to bluish-green hues, with their color stemming from trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. The intensity of the green color is a key factor in determining the quality and value of the gemstone. Emeralds are over 20 times rarer than diamonds, making high-quality specimens particularly valuable and sought after. The value of an emerald is determined by its color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. The most prized green gemstones have a vivid, deep green color and minimal inclusions visible to the naked eye. Emeralds have a hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale which makes them fairly hard, but they are still more prone to damage than diamonds or sapphires due to their inclusions. Most green emeralds contain inclusions, which are often referred to as "jardin" (French for garden) due to their plant-like appearance. These inclusions are common and do not significantly detract from the gemstone's beauty, in fact, they can be seen as a unique fingerprint of the stone. Careful handling and protective settings in jewelry are recommended to preserve their beauty, especially for everyday wear. Emeralds symbolize loyalty, new beginnings, peace, and security, making them an excellent choice alternative to diamond engagement rings. These meanings add a layer of significance, which makes emerald jewelry a meaningful gift for special occasions. Whether as a birthstone, anniversary gift, or a token of loyalty and new beginnings, emeralds are a treasured addition to any jewelry collection.

Emerald is the birthstone for May.
Emerald gemstones are softer than diamonds as the Mohs Scale of Hardness ranges from 1 to 10 with 10 being the hardest, diamonds are rated at a 10 and emeralds are rated 7.5 to 8.0. It is a somewhat durable gemstone which means that Emerald is ok to use in jewelry when handled with great care as it is prone to scratching and chipping over time.
Emeralds are brittle and softer than other gems, so they are more prone to scratching and chipping over time and need to be handled with great care. Emerald jewelry can be cleaned using warm soapy clean water and a soft bristled brush. Don't sleep or shower with it, remove it and put it in your storage container since sleep can be very hard on jewelry. Avoid activities that expose it to chemicals such as hair products, cleaning supplies, and other commonly used items.
