Emerald Ring

Emeralds are one of the most interesting and noble minerals that are found in nature. It is not surprising that people from ancient times make these stones the central elements of many jewelry. For example, an emerald ring at all times has been an indicator of luxury, wealth, strength, power and beauty.

Emeralds, or as they were called in Russia - emeralds, are a variety of beryl. Given the fact that beryl itself is colorless, a large amount of chromium impurity gives it a saturated green color. The larger it is, the stone has a more saturated green color. The emerald mining center is Colombia. But they are also mined in Africa, Pakistan, India, Russia.

When evaluating this stone, the most important indicator is not transparency, like other minerals, namely color. It is very difficult to find a brightly colored stone of this type in nature. And even if it has some inclusions, but has a rich coloring, its price will definitely not become less. And with the help of special technologies, cracks that every such stone has are easily covered today.

Another feature of the emerald is its faceting. Under such a stone its special type was created, which received the same name. Its appearance is a square or rectangle that has smooth corners. This allows not only to better demonstrate the stone itself, but also protects it from damage.

It should be mentioned that throughout their history, people often endowed this mineral with various magical properties. For example, it is believed that this stone protects good and pure thoughts. A person who wears such a ring on his index finger will be healthy, lucky and happy, and all troubles will bypass him.

Many people with supernatural abilities love this stone because it helps them to communicate with higher powers. Emerald also has healing properties. In ancient times, it was used for pain in joints and the head, and also gallbladder diseases were treated. Many believe that an emerald can purify water if thrown into a vessel with it.

If we talk about who suits such stones, it is best to focus on the signs of the zodiac or elements. Representatives of the elements of the earth or the signs of Leo, Aries or Sagittarius such a stone will bring pacification of their ardent temper and will give some reasonableness. Emerald also slightly reduces the tendency to vanity.

For representatives of the earthly elements, namely Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus, the emerald will be a defense against exchanging trifles on various issues. Also, its presence increases the purposefulness of the mentioned zodiac signs.

And among the representatives of the air element - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, the presence of such a gem significantly increases the ability to work.

Now let's talk a little about the varieties of rings with emerald about which precious metals are used for their manufacture. Currently, the most commonly used gold, silver and platinum. True, varieties of these metals are sometimes used.

If we talk about the silver ring, this version of the frame will look noble and spectacular. This metal is considered quite soft and is suitable for this mineral in terms of what will protect it from clouding. The silver ring will be an excellent enhancer of the energy field of an emerald.

A platinum frame will also be a great solution for emeralds. Here, the brightness of the metal and the greens of the mineral will be combined. But platinum is harder, and therefore it is not so common as a frame for such minerals.

The purest classic. The combination of such sunlight and amazing green emerald is truly mesmerizing. By the way, a ring of yellow gold of this type will generally look great, emphasizing the aristocracy of the owner and the sophistication of his tastes and views.

Recently, the demand for white gold rings with natural emerald has increased. A combination of such a green stone with red gold will be beautiful and no less classic than yellow.

Also, rings with large emerald are very popular. These will be all minerals that have a weight of more than 2 carats. And emeralds weighing more than five carats are more valuable than even diamonds, you can imagine how much they will cost. In general, it is quite difficult to find a ring with a large stone of this type.

At the same time, you can see rings with the so-called path with emerald. The bottom line here is several stones of about the same size, arranged one after another. They seem to form a path. Earrings with emerald are well suited to such a decoration. They will complement it perfectly.

When choosing a female ring, you should adhere to several aspects. The most important question is the authenticity of the emerald. It is best to buy such stones in reliable stores that belong to well-known brands. Naturally, when buying, it is necessary to require a certificate for a stone or decoration.

If the purchase is not carried out in such a store, then it is better not to buy rings with sparkling or bright green stones. With high probability it will be just some kind of semiprecious stone of the corresponding color, or well-cut glass or artificial emerald. According to jewelers, a real emerald resembles delightful velvet. And the presence of certain flaws such as cracks, will indicate that it is real.

Also, when choosing, the shape of the fingers and hands should be considered:

• for chubby fingers, asymmetric rings will be more suitable;
• for short, it will be better to buy rings with teardrop or pear shaped inserts;
• people with small fingers should not buy jewelry with a large emerald;
• in the presence of a wide brush, an oval-shaped decoration will look good.

It should be said that emerald is a self-sufficient mineral. He does not need to emphasize his greatness with clothes of a certain tone. A ring with it will be easy to combine with elegant clothes. The classic option is to wear a beautiful emerald ring with a cocktail or evening outfit. Also, this is a great solution for wedding dresses, because this mineral goes well with the corresponding color.

If we talk about which finger to wear the ring, then:

• on the index finger it will give the owner persistence and eloquence;
• on average - it will become a protection against various kinds of dangers and risky enterprises;
• on the nameless - will help to become more confident in love;
• on the little finger - strengthens the cardiovascular system.

Modern rings or rings will go well with clothing made from light fabrics. But classic models will be best combined with the same type of clothing strict tailoring.

If we talk about the compatibility of such jewelry with others, then they will be especially well combined with thin chains or smooth bracelets.

But when combined with jewelry it is better to be careful. A decade ago, this was considered a sign of bad taste, and today has turned into a kind of trend. It is clear that it is impossible to combine everything at once. You need to find some general idea and carefully choose all the jewelry. In this case, it will not be superfluous to seek advice from a stylist.

If we talk about the price, then it is influenced by several aspects:

• a rock;
• its size;
• faceting;
• quality;
• manufacturer.

If we talk about the size of the mineral, then as mentioned above, all stones weighing more than 2 carats are considered rare and expensive and their price just soars to heaven. No less important will be quality, because color saturation or transparency are important factors. Some disadvantages may even turn out to be advantages of the emerald, because they will confirm its naturalness.

The same applies to the manufacturer - the more famous the company that made the emerald cut - the higher its price. As for the cut, any stone needs it. And the beautiful and expensive emerald is even more so. And if it is selected and executed correctly, then this will further increase the price of this mineral.

Based on the foregoing, it comes from 4-5 thousand rubles for the smallest pebbles to 12-13 thousand dollars for a stone of the highest category weighing from 8 to 15 carats.

• You should know that when buying a ring with an emerald, you will need to seriously look after it so that the stone does not darken. And in this context, the first important tip is to be able to wear a ring. It should only be worn with clean, dry fingers. Such minerals do not like cosmetics, as well as various cleaning or chemical products. During the performance of physical work or sports, the decoration is best removed.

• It can not be stored in an ordinary box. This is best done in a casket with soft upholstery. It would be even better if a professional who really knows how to work with stones of this type takes care of cleaning. If you want to clean it yourself, you can purchase a special kit in any jewelry store.

• If you decide to contact a jewelry workshop, then use the services of those specialists who conduct only gentle cleaning of stones. The fact is that for an emerald it is extremely undesirable to use ultrasonic cleaning due to the fact that the mineral itself is not durable. And ultrasound can cause the destruction of the stone, if it already has chips or microcracks.
• Gentle cleaning usually refers to oiling and epoxy lubrication. If you are offered steam cleaning, then it is better to refuse, because with fluctuations in air and temperature, the decorative protective layer of emerald may simply disappear.
• If for some reason this is not possible, then you can just put the jewelry in a soapy solution all night, and in the morning rinse with water and rub it with a soft-type toothbrush.
• To give the emerald freshness, you can dip it in water with a drop of ammonia diluted in it for about 15-20 minutes. After this, the ring should be pulled out, gently wipe with a cloth and let the stone dry a little.

Almost all the large jewelry companies in the world and, in particular, Russian ones work with emeralds and offer various rings with them of any type, size and shape. For example, Twinpiks studio makes wonderful men's rings with large emeralds that emphasize the owner’s charisma and its material and professional status.

For those who love a combination of emeralds with other stones, Valtera jewelry house makes amazing rings with emeralds and diamonds.

Domestic brands are also not far behind, for example, the Sokolov jewelry house, which often uses emeralds of the Malyshevsky deposit for its products.

If we talk about interesting design solutions, it should be understood that their price will be significantly higher than usual, because these things are often exclusive. Often, such products use emeralds of an unusual shape, for example, in the form of a drop or a cube. Especially in this stands the emerald ring Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan from the series of the same name, in the center of which is a large teardrop-shaped emerald surrounded by a large number of diamonds.

Or ring models with square emeralds are not uncommon. Moreover, they are made for both men and women. At the present time, the flight of imagination of designers is simply unlimited. And each person can find for himself precisely that jewelry that will not only perfectly complement this or that image, but will also make a person recognizable everywhere.
