Emerald Eternity Ring Introduction

Usually awarded for the reasons to celebrate the birth of children or for the anniversary years of marriage, Eternity Rings are available in many genre of gemstones. They are especially exquisite in that of the Emerald Eternity Ring, and those set with rubies, sapphires, tanzanite and obviously diamond.

The emeralds that are employed in these rings can be of just about any size, cut and clarity, as well as obviously colour, can be found, but shape is a little more demanding.

The shapes that are the best and easiest to use are that of the square ended variations such as princess, baguette and emerald cut, as well as round. This is because the amount of light (or gap) is minimal with these and allow them to be set end to end, and look better. Whereas, if such as pear or marquise was to be used, much more of a gap would be present when set, and the overall effect would not be as great.

The metals that are used to hold them are the usual 9 and 18ct, white and yellow gold variations, along sometimes with that of platinum, and more commonly these days in palladium.

My Five Best Reasons

1. History

These stones throughout history have been known to bring about power, patience, and wisdom, as well as changing its colour if infidelity has been practised by the wearer! Most importantly they have been symbolically linked to that of eternal springtime.

They have historically been one of the favourite choices to adorn the jewels of many Royalties jewels and crowns, and size for size, and with all else being equal, they are one the most expensive of precious gemstones in the world today.

2. Anniversary Stone Emerald

If you are looking for the gemstone that is used to represent the 20th and 35th anniversary celebrations, then emerald is the one for you.

3. Emerald Birthstone

Those who are born in the month of May, or linked to the Zodiac sign for Cancer, will have even greater symbolic links if they indeed purchase this gemstone.

4. Colour Of Emerald

The Goddess of Love called Venus, was responsible for love and romance, as well as everlasting beauty to the wearer, and she was thought to be the colour of grass or emerald green, according to the Romans.

5. Clarity

The clarity of emerald is very important, but not as much as colour. Obviously the clearer the stone the more valuable, but the greater number of natural inclusions seen inside emeralds compared to other gems, in some eyes actually enhances its beauty, as well as obviously giving it more individuality, so does not effect value massively.

To Conclude

Sometimes these Emerald Eternity Rings can be source in a style known as wishbone, but they are more often found in half eternity or full eternity styles, with the former being much more common. They are not often found set on their own, and are mostly found set alongside that of diamonds, either in single row forms, or sometimes in rows of more than one.

All jewellery will become dirty overtime with wear, and the Eternity Ring is no exception. It is no problem though to clean them quick and easily with just a little soapy water and soft toothbrush, so their original lustre and shine can be brought back again.

In my eyes, all jewellery is of no use sat in a box away from all to see. So, please make sure you keep your emerald eternity ring on as much as possible, and that all people know you are wearing one of Cleopatras favourite gemstones!
