I understand! that is precisely how i feel about my wearing my emerald ring as well. I have to make an ongoing, conscious effort to be mindful all the time when it's on. Not only has a prong gotten caught and snapped off, but the brittleness of emerald in general scares me. I know women who have emerald engagement rings and I'm mystified how they have kept them in pristine condition, being worn 24/7!
As beautiful as they are, I could not have an emerald engagement ring. I'll bet you were relieved that your emerald was still ok when your prong snapped off. My mother said one of her coworkers was wearing her emerald at work, bumped it on something and the emerald cracked in two! I don't know how women are able to keep their emerald engagement rings in pristine condition either. I wouldn't be able to do that.
Hi, I'm a newbie here and I don't know much if it's worth showing. I've been a lurker on this forum for some time now. So here's my first piece of colored stone.
Congratulations on a lovely ring! And, a warm welcome to posting
A Colombian emerald certified by a gem lab in Antwerp. I'm a purist so I love solitaire settings and all my cs rings are all solitaires.
. I think the emerald looks great on your skin, hand shape and finger length, and the size is great.

Beautiful ring @mellowyellowgirl and you made me feel better about asking for an emerald post !Oooh I didn't know we had an emerald thread! Here is mine!
Only 0.76 carats but I love the colour! And double halos fix size issues lol!
haha no worries! I have posted pics of this ring everywhere but didn't know about an emerald thread! I'll post a pic of my new beaded emerald necklace for you later! Need hubby to come home and take the pic!
I bought a small emerald pendant. I was planning on resetting it with diamonds all around, as in my ring. The quality and color of the emerald is a clear, deep blue green, but it doesn’t show in my pics. Emeralds don’t photograph well! Hopefully you all get the idea.@Bluegemz I really love the proportion of emerald to diamond on your ring, could you pls share the size of the CS and diamond?Colombian emerald ring in 18k, and platinum emerald
Thank you, Rubybrick! I’m sorry that I don’t know off hand...the paperwork with this one is not at home, and I bought it about 7-8 years ago. Actually, maybe even longer! Next time I have a chance, I’ll go and check.
My emerald and diamond ring band. I bought the ring from a consignment shop and the band is an OGI from Solomon Bros. I also have an emerald bracelet that belonged to my grandmother, but I need to take photos of it.
thank you! It is what turned me into big bezel fan. No worries or hurrying on to get the sizes. I am in an early planning stage of some blue Sapphire earrings, my oval center stones are going to be in the 5x7mm to 6x8mm depending on what we can find within my budget. I was initially wanting very small pave halos but I am liking the more antique/romantic look of slightly bigger diamonds.
Thanks so much @woweezowee! I bought the two pieces at different times and was pleasantly surprised at how well they go together!
Outstanding pieces!!!Colombian emerald ring in 18k, and platinum emerald and diamond bracelet. Emeralds are hard to capture with my phone camera!
This is gorgeous!!!On my hand
Gorgeous emerald and setting!!!Love those Yvonne rings and pendant!
Here's mine, hopefully people aren't sick of it.
Thank you! Need to wear these more often.
Thank you @woweezowee it is a well matched graduate 5 stone (Columbian emerald lightly oiled) bezel set in 18k gold. The center stone is 4.5mm, 3.5mm to 3mm.@Rubybrick - I LOVE your ring! Can you tell us more about it? The stones are gorgeous as is the setting
