Can we find and emerald ring?

[Upgradable]

I have a friend/acquaintance who is looking for an emerald cut emerald set with diamonds for an engagement ring. I don''t know budget, but believe it''s tight. And I knew you folks could come up with some lovely options.

Can you help?

perhaps you should post this in Rocky Talky or Show Me The Ring.

Unless you mean: an emerald cut emerald and a diamond setting?

Never mind, that is what you mean.

I think emeralds are gorgeous BUT might be too soft for an e ring. My sister had a princess cut with emerald triangles on the sides. they keep getting lost and one cracked. The jeweler finally told her that she should take them out and reset her ring because the emeralds were simply not a strong enough stone to withstand daily wear or be cleaned with gem cleaner...

antique, 3 stone, sleek, pave?

Whether an emerald will be tough enough for daily wear will depend a lot on the person. For some, diamonds aren''t tough enough.

I''m sure they can find something within any budget range. There is a vast range of quality and pricing for emeralds. You can get a 1 carat emerald from under $100 to over $5,000.

Generally emeralds are just not as tough but that is something the setting could address. A nice emerald can be more than the equivalent sized diamonds. I just do not know enough about colored stone values and how to judge them, but a clear green Colombian emerald is one of the prettiest things ever!
