About emerald engagement rings
An emerald engagement ring is for the bride who does not blend in: a garden-green center stone framed in gold or ringed with diamonds, worn by royalty for centuries and unmistakable across a room.
Aurelle emerald engagement rings are made to order in 14k and 18k gold and platinum. Because emerald is softer than sapphire or diamond, we favor protective builds — bezels, halos, and sturdy prongs — and our concierge sources each stone to your color and budget.
Choose color first: a vivid, evenly saturated green matters more than clarity, since emeralds naturally carry inner gardens of inclusions. Free resizing and a lifetime warranty come standard.
Emerald Engagement Rings FAQ
Are emeralds durable enough for an engagement ring?+
Emerald ranks 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale — hard enough for careful daily wear but softer than sapphire or diamond. A bezel or halo setting, removing the ring for gym and garden work, and yearly inspections keep it beautiful for decades.
How much does an emerald engagement ring cost?+
Fine emeralds range enormously with color and origin: attractive stones start around the low thousands, while top vivid-green Colombian material commands far more per carat than diamond. Our concierge sources options at your budget and shows you exactly what each tier buys.
What should I look for when buying an emerald?+
Color is nearly everything — a vivid, evenly distributed green outranks a paler, cleaner stone. Inclusions, called the jardin, are expected and accepted in emeralds; avoid only those that reach the surface or cloud the color.
Emerald vs. lab emerald vs. green diamond — what are my options?+
Natural emerald is the traditional route; lab-created emeralds offer the same crystal with fewer inclusions at a lower price; lab-grown green diamonds deliver green color with diamond durability. The concierge can present all three side by side.
How do I care for an emerald ring?+
Clean only with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth — never ultrasonic or steam cleaners, which can damage the oils most emeralds are treated with. Remove it for heavy hand work and have the setting checked yearly, free under our lifetime warranty.
What metal looks best with emerald?+
Yellow gold is the heritage pairing, deepening the green's warmth; white gold and platinum give a cooler, contemporary contrast, especially inside a diamond halo. All four Aurelle metals are available for any setting.
