About The Gemstone In Emerald Rings

Unlike the diamond, the gemstone in each of the displayed emerald rings has long, unbroken lines. The gemstone in each of those emerald rings has broad regions (facets); they allow the emerald to reflect light in a unique manner. Some young women want to get the same reflections from a diamond engagement ring.



Can a diamond engagement ring reflect light in the same manner as a true emerald? It can, if it holds an emerald-cut diamond. Such a ring will produce unexpected flashes of light. A woman, who wants her ring to catch the eye of many, might want to have a ring with an emerald-cut diamond.

When a woman visiting a jewelry store learns that the emerald cut diamond comes in a range of colors, she might wonder why the jewelers bother to sell emerald rings. Once she discovers that there are no green diamonds, she will have the answer to her question. She will realize that an emerald cut diamond has a narrow color range. It can be pale enough to appear colorless or dark enough to appear light yellow.



A woman, who plans to examine emerald rings, rather than emerald cut diamonds, should not leave her discerning eye at home. She needs to study the quality of each green gemstone in each emerald ring. She should keep in mind the characteristics of a top-quality gemstone.

A quality gem has a good polish. Because it has a good polish, it has smooth facets. A quality gem also has the sort of symmetry that is expected from the natural gem. The symmetry of a gem determines the alignment of its facets.

The alignment of facets in a gemstone determines the way that light reflects from that same stone. A gemstone with the proper symmetry does not shoot light in the wrong direction. All who view a gemstone of good quality should get a glimpse of the light that is reflected from that gemstone.

A good jeweler respects the characteristics of a quality gemstone. A good jeweler would never cut a quality emerald or a quality diamond in the wrong way. A careless jeweler might, however, cut either gemstone in a way that could expose a slight flaw in that very same gemstone.



A good jeweler would not try to sell a woman an emerald cut diamond with a length of 2.00. A good jeweler would know that such a gemstone, though long, is exceptionally thin. A good jeweler would not recommend the placement of such a thin stone in a diamond engagement ring.

A caring jeweler would not push a woman to sacrifice quality after he has been told that his female customer is looking for either a diamond or an emerald ring.
