Hi,
Apologies if this has already been discussed, I did do a search but didn't see anything specific to emerald side stones.
My partner and I are in the process of designing an ering and have fallen in love with the idea of emerald accent stones like these art deco style examples below. I know emeralds are not good for center stones but are these little side stones similarly risky? I think tsavorites are similarly soft so any other alternatives to get a nice green color? Or advise on the best cut/setting combo to make replacing the stones easier if something does happen in the future? Thanks a lot!
