Your Emerald and Diamond Ring Questions, Answered

Is the emerald genuine and natural?

Yes, the centre stone is a genuine, natural emerald, prized for its rich, lush green colour. Emerald is one of the four precious gemstones, alongside diamond, ruby, and sapphire, and it has been treasured for thousands of years. Natural emeralds often contain tiny internal features, sometimes called the jardin, French for garden, which are completely normal and are actually part of what proves a stone is a genuine, earth grown emerald rather than an imitation. So those natural characteristics are a mark of authenticity. We are always happy to talk you through the emerald and provide documentation and a valuation for insurance.

What do the specs 1.58ct emerald and 0.91ct diamonds mean?

Good question. The 1.58ct is the weight of the oval emerald at the centre, a generous, eye catching size that gives the ring real presence. The 0.91ct is the combined weight of the 12 round diamonds that form the halo around it. Those diamonds grade F in colour, near the top of the scale, so they look bright and white, and VS in clarity, meaning any tiny natural marks are invisible to the naked eye. So you get a large, vivid emerald framed by nearly a carat of clean, white diamonds, a beautifully balanced combination of colour and sparkle.

Is an emerald durable enough for a ring?

Emerald is a lovely choice, though it does deserve a little more care than a diamond. It sits around 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it is hard, but emeralds naturally contain more inclusions, which can make them a touch more brittle than some gems. The diamond halo helps protect the emerald’s edges, and the claw setting holds it securely. So this ring is absolutely wearable, just treat it as a special piece rather than an everyday knockabout. Avoid hard knocks, take it off for rough tasks, and it will stay beautiful for many years.

Is this an engagement ring or a dress ring?

It can happily be either, which is part of its charm. Coloured stone rings like this have a long, romantic history as engagement rings, and the classic emerald and diamond cluster is famously regal. So it makes a striking, individual alternative to a plain diamond solitaire for a proposal. Equally, many people wear it as a glamorous dress ring or right hand statement, or to mark a May birthday, since emerald is the birthstone. So whether it is a proposal, a milestone, or a treat for yourself, it fits. Come in and try it on to see how it suits you.

Can I resize this ring or customise it?

Yes on both counts. We can size the ring to fit your finger, and most rings of this style can be adjusted later if your size changes. Prefer a warmer look? While this one is 18ct white gold, we also craft it in yellow and rose gold, which look beautiful with emerald. Want a larger emerald, a different halo, or a matching band? Just ask, since we make jewellery in house and love a bespoke project. Pop in and we will measure you properly and talk through the options, so your emerald ring is exactly as you imagine it.
