Emerald Ring

Emerald is considered as a gift of the gods and has a lustrous appeal that transcends generations. This green coloured gem is a derivative of the mineral beryl. Actually, the word ’Emerald’ comes from the Sanskrit word for ’Green’. During the manufacturing process, emerald is usually oiled to manipulate the refractive index to get the best sheen. Alongside pure emerald, synthetic emerald is also available. Emerald rings are used for various occasions. Some style conscious women have different rings for different outfits. White gold emerald rings have an exotic appeal. The colour combination of the shiny white gold with the dazzling green of the emerald is truly a treat for the eyes. Emerald stones are used in rings made of different metals. While some emerald rings incorporate only one stone, others have more than one stone embedded into the metal. The shape of the emerald stone in these rings vary from heart shaped to simple square to polygonal. Some rings have tiny emeralds running right across the periphery of the ring. This design renders a touch of class to the ring. Emerald rings are versatile enough to be equally at ease on casual occasions as well as formal affairs like weddings and engagements. The cut and shape of the band of these emerald rings can also exhibit different designs. Depending on the design, sometimes emerald stones are also used in diamond rings.
