Your Emerald Engagement Ring Questions, Answered

Can an emerald be an engagement ring?

Absolutely, and it is a beautiful, meaningful choice. Coloured gemstones have a long, romantic history as engagement rings, and the emerald and diamond cluster is famously regal. Emerald symbolises love, loyalty, and new beginnings, which makes it perfect for a proposal, while its rich green offers a striking, individual alternative to a plain diamond solitaire. So if you or your partner love colour and want a ring that stands apart, an emerald engagement ring is a gorgeous option. Come in and try it on, and we will help you decide if it is the one for your moment.

Is the emerald genuine and natural?

Yes, the centre stone is a genuine, natural emerald, prized for its rich, lush green. 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 actually help prove a stone is a genuine, earth grown emerald rather than an imitation. So those natural marks are a sign of authenticity. We are always happy to talk you through the emerald, and to provide documentation and a valuation for insurance.

What do the specs 1.85ct emerald and 0.97ct diamonds mean?

Good question. The 1.85ct is the weight of the oval emerald at the centre, a large, impressive size with real presence on the hand. The 0.97ct is the combined weight of the 24 round diamonds that form the halo and run down the band. 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 mix of colour and sparkle.

Is an emerald durable enough for an engagement ring worn daily?

Emerald is a wonderful choice, though it deserves 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. The diamond halo helps protect the emerald’s edges, and the claws hold it securely. So it is absolutely wearable as an engagement ring, just treat it as the special piece it is. Take it off for the gym, gardening, and heavy tasks, avoid hard knocks, and it will stay beautiful for many years to come.

Can I customise this ring or find her size for a surprise?

Yes to both. We can source a larger or smaller emerald, adjust the halo, or craft the ring in yellow or rose gold, which look beautiful with green. Prefer a different band or setting? Just ask, since we make jewellery in house. As for sizing a surprise, the easiest trick is to quietly borrow a ring she already wears and bring it in, or ask a close friend. If you are unsure, do not stress, since most rings can be resized after the proposal. So you can pop the question with confidence, then perfect the fit later. Come in and we will guide you through it.
