The emerald is the only coloured stone in the ring and everything around it is deliberately kept small, so nothing competes with the green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmerald is graded on colour in a way diamond is not. What buyers pay for is saturation and tone, a green deep enough to read as green from across a room but not so dark that the stone goes flat in low light, and that balance is far more important to the look of the ring than clarity is. Nearly every emerald in existence contains inclusions, so many that the trade calls them jardin, the French for garden, and treats them as evidence of natural origin rather than as flaws. Judge this stone by its colour, not by looking into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Oval cut, brilliant crown with a step cut pavilion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Emerald\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Rich saturated green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Four claw prongs on an open basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: An IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall clusters of round brilliant cut lab grown diamonds, one at each shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet tight against the sides of the emerald so the clusters read as a frame rather than as side stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClaw set individually, E colour and VVS2 clarity to match our diamond rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is fine and rounded, finished in two tones so that warm metal carries the shoulders while the setting around the emerald stays cooler. Keeping the band this narrow is deliberate, because a heavier shank would pull attention away from a stone whose appeal is entirely its colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Rose gold is shown here and it is the most interesting choice, because warm pink metal sits opposite green on the colour wheel and makes the emerald look greener by contrast. Yellow gold gives a richer, more traditional pairing. White gold and sterling silver read cooler and let the stone speak without any influence from the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes.

The trade calls these inclusions jardin and accepts them as normal for the species. An emerald is bought for the quality of its green, not for clarity in the way a diamond is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I care for an emerald ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClean it with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner or steam, and take the ring off before swimming or using household chemicals. Emerald is softer than diamond and its inclusions make it less tolerant of shock and heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear an emerald ring every day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, with a little care. Emerald sits at 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, hard but not as hard as diamond, so it is best removed for sport, gardening or heavy manual work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do the diamond accents sit in clusters?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA cluster of small stones frames the emerald without introducing a second large stone. A single big side stone would compete with the centre and split the eye between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes rose gold really make an emerald look greener?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Green and pink sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, so warm metal beside a green stone strengthens the perception of both. It is the same principle behind complementary colour in painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I receive a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The band is plain below the shoulder clusters, so a jeweler can cut and adjust it in the normal way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a coloured gemstone ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA coloured centre stone gives you something that no diamond can, which is colour that identifies the ring instantly from across a room. Emerald in particular carries centuries of association with renewal and is the traditional stone for a May birthday and a twentieth or thirty fifth anniversary. Paired with lab grown diamond accents, you get the colour you want and the brilliance of diamond around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate of the center stone included free with every ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in the metal, carat weight and size you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull range of US ring sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design and matching wedding bands on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finishing and quality inspection before dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a fine jewelry maker based in Surat, India, a city that has cut and polished diamonds for generations.
