Elegant by Design: Emerald Engagement Rings
Show Love Through an Emerald
In ancient Greek mythology, the emerald was the stone of the goddess of love, Venus. Today, emerald engagement rings are worn by many women as a symbol of their love and commitment to their significant other.
Emeralds are vibrantly colored gemstones that are found in a wide range of bluish green to pure green shades. These deeply saturated gemstones pair well with many different precious metals, including white gold, platinum, and yellow gold. An emerald and yellow gold ring tends to look vintage and antique, whereas an emerald and white gold or platinum ring looks more modern and trendy. Because this gemstone is so versatile, every woman will be able to find the emerald engagement ring of her dreams.
Enhance the Look!
The deep green color of the emerald also contrasts beautifully with the sparkle and shine of a colorless diamond.
Emeralds are often used as side stones in a diamond engagement ring to make the center stone really stand out. Small-sized emeralds can also be set in the band of an engagement ring to add an unexpected pop of color. Both emeralds and diamonds are beautiful on their own, but they look even better when they are together.
