Whenever we talk about an engagement ring a diamond ring comes into mind. Mostly women insist on their future groom-to-be to get them a diamond ring. Now as women have mastered in diamonds, their sizes and other facts, the new fashion of emerald engagement rings kicked in. Although the emerald engagement ring fact has the same as diamonds including 4 C’s which are clarity, carat, cut and color but there are more factors to choose a flawless emerald for your engagement ring.

Emerald engagement rings that I came across have both the green beauty of emerald with sparkly shine of diamonds. The entire band of this engagement ring is covered with diamonds with a beautiful cut emerald shinning like a star in between.

Engagements are a special event for both the bride and groom-to-be while family members are excited as the circle of their loved ones is increasing. The most excitement for the bride-to-be is the engagement ring which is mostly expected as a diamond ring. Now these cliché dreams are transforming into different dreams where now women insist on getting an emerald, ruby or other precious stone rings. You can start by changing the tradition and become the new trend setter by giving your future wife an emerald engagement ring. These rings come in gold or silver band while you can find emerald rings with diamonds stuck all around the band on equal intervals. Now if you have made up your mind to get an emerald engagement ring then here are some of the facts to look for before buying one.

Color: In general we know that emerald has a bright green color but these emeralds also come in blue-green color. The pure green colored emeralds are found in bulk while blue-green emeralds are rarely found which makes them more expensive. The more stable and consistent color an emerald have the better.

Cut: The standard cut chosen for emeralds is in rectangular step cut called the “Emerald cut.” Other shapes an emerald can be cut in are oval, heart-shaped, pear and round. Move to other emerald rings if any of them have a cabochon cut as mostly flawed stones have cuts in that shape.

Carat: An emerald is also measured in carats. Emeralds are usually found in 1 carat or less any bigger than that can cost you a fortune.

Clarity: In case of emerald’s clarity its color also plays an important role to increase the price of an emerald. If the clarity is perfect while the color is pure green it may not be as expensive as you might believe a diamond will be. Although an emerald with flawless clarity and perfect color are extremely rare.

Treatment: An extra thing to look for before purchasing an emerald engagement ring is to acquire about the treatment that particular emerald has gone through. Every emerald goes under a treatment to fill the gaps and cracks in the stone while some treatments also include adding colored oils to it which completely changes the color. The more treatment emerald has undergone the lower-quality it is going to have.

Synthetic Stone: Be sure to buy a non-synthetic emerald. A synthetic emerald means that it is produced in a lab through an artificial procedure. Some emeralds that are small in size go through synthetic procedure to make them bigger in size. If the dealer assures it is a non-synthetic emerald then have him write it down to save you from any bad luck in the future.

Six simple facts to keep in mind and you can get yourself the perfect type of emerald engagement ring for your future wife and that beautiful journey you are planning to embark upon.
