This allure goes <em>beyond<\/em> physical appearance. Emeralds are thought to possess spiritual qualities that promote love, harmony, and balance in relationships. Their unique green color and vibrant energy are synonymous with nature, rebirth, and renewal. In alchemy, emeralds counteracted poison. In the Middle Ages, the stone was protection against the evil eye. Ancient Romans thought emeralds possessed remedial qualities- Emperor Nero even wore eyeglasses made of emeralds to remedy his eyesight- making these the world&#8217;s first pair of sunglasses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"915\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2023\/11\/Emerald-Engagement-Ring-Nero-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Emerald Engagement Rings - Emperor Nero emerald sunglasses\" class=\"wp-image-955899\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Left to Right)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/victorian-18ct-gold-emerald-diamond-pendant\/\">Victorian 18ct Gold, Emerald &amp; Diamond Pendant<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/edwardian-18ct-gold-cabochon-flux-emerald-tie-pin\/\">Edwardian 18ct Gold &amp; Cabochon Flux Emerald Tie Pin<\/a><br><br>Image: Line engraving of Emperor Nero of Rome Line (Wellcome Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By choosing an emerald engagement ring you&#8217;ll embrace visual beauty <em>and<\/em> invite positive energies into your union.<\/p>\n\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/handpicked-products\" data-columns=\"2\" data-content-visibility=\"{&quot;image&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:true,&quot;price&quot;:true,&quot;rating&quot;:false,&quot;button&quot;:false}\" data-products=\"[951120,903640]\" class=\"wc-block-grid wp-block-handpicked-products wc-block-handpicked-products has-2-columns has-multiple-rows\"><ul class=\"wc-block-grid__products\"><li class=\"wc-block-grid__product\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/victorian-18ct-gold-emerald-diamond-pendant\/\" class=\"wc-block-grid__product-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2024\/07\/DSC05616-copy-400x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-larger size-woocommerce_thumbnail wp-stateless-item\" alt=\"Victorian 18ct Gold, Emerald &amp; Diamond Pendant\" data-image-size=\"grid-larger\" data-stateless-media-bucket=\"static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\" data-stateless-media-name=\"2024\/07\/DSC05616-copy.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-title\">Victorian 18ct Gold, Emerald &amp; Diamond Pendant<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-price price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&pound;<\/span>9,750<\/span><small class=\"klarna body-font\">or from <strong><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&pound;<\/span>417<\/span>\/month<\/strong> at 0% with a <strong> <span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&pound;<\/span>4,750<\/span><\/strong> deposit <a data-toggle=\"modal\" class=\"small-space-left\" data-target=\"#finance\" href=\"#\">More info<span class=\"ion-chevron-right\"><\/span><\/a><\/small><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"wc-block-grid__product\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/edwardian-18ct-gold-cabochon-flux-emerald-tie-pin\/\" class=\"wc-block-grid__product-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2022\/12\/DSC01541-400x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-larger size-woocommerce_thumbnail wp-stateless-item\" alt=\"Edwardian 18ct Gold &amp; Cabochon Flux Emerald Tie Pin\" data-image-size=\"grid-larger\" data-stateless-media-bucket=\"static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\" data-stateless-media-name=\"2022\/12\/DSC01541.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-title\">Edwardian 18ct Gold &amp; Cabochon Flux Emerald Tie Pin<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-price price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&pound;<\/span>675<\/span><small class=\"klarna body-font\">or from <strong><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&pound;<\/span>56<\/span>\/month<\/strong> at 0% <a data-toggle=\"modal\" class=\"small-space-left\" data-target=\"#finance\" href=\"#\">More info<span class=\"ion-chevron-right\"><\/span><\/a><\/small><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>Is a Soft Stone like Emerald a Hard Choice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though emeralds look timeless, they&#8217;re less durable than other gemstones. They rank 7.5-8 on the Mohs hardness scale so are more susceptible to scratches and damage. But Emeralds <em>do<\/em> withstand everyday wear and last decades when properly cared for (more on this later, and <em>even<\/em> more in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/the-ajc-guide-to-emeralds\/\">Our Guide to Emeralds<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soft stones emeralds often have inclusions and visible imperfections, unlike diamonds. These make up an emerald&#8217;s character and enhance its beauty. It&#8217;s personal preference if you appreciate this charm or not<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5\"><strong>Finding the Perfect Emerald<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A less dazzling factor to consider is budget. Emeralds can vary significantly in price depending on many features including quality, size, and origin. While larger emeralds may be more expensive, it&#8217;s important to prioritize quality over size. AJC can help you balance these factors to find the perfect ring. Let&#8217;s look at these features closer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6\"><strong>The Key Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first feature is <strong>colour<\/strong>. Emerald&#8217;s colour is determined by the presence of chromium and vanadium in its composition. The more intense and saturated the green the more valuable the stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cut<\/strong> is the second. Well-cut stones maximize brilliance and sparkle, whilst poorly-cut stones may appear lacklustre. The eponymous &#8220;emerald cut&#8221;, a rectangular shape with step-like facets, is the most popular. This is because the cut allows optimal light reflection to enhance your emerald engagement rings natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"955881\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2023\/11\/Emerald-Engagement-Ring-circle.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-955881\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/edwardian-18ct-gold-platinumthree-stone-cabochon-emerald-diamond-ring\/\">Edwardian 18ct Gold &amp; Platinum,Three Stone Cabochon Emerald &amp; Diamond Ring<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"955882\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2023\/11\/Emeral-Engagement-Ring.jpg\" alt=\"Early 20th Century Platinum &amp; 18ct Gold, Rectangular Cut Emerald &amp; Diamond Cluster Ring\" class=\"wp-image-955882\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/early-20th-century-platinum-18ct-gold-rectangular-cut-emerald-diamond-cluster-ring\/\">Early 20th Century Platinum &amp; 18ct Gold, Rectangular Cut Emerald &amp; Diamond Cluster Ring<br><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The third is the <strong>setting<\/strong>.

Emeralds require special attention to maintain brilliance and avoid damage. Here are tips for cleaning and maintaining your emerald ring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-use-a-gentle-cleaning-solution-dish-soap\">1. Use a gentle cleaning solution- dish soap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Emeralds should <em>never<\/em> be cleaned with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Instead, create a mild cleaning solution by mixing warm water with a few drops of washing-up liquid. Soak your ring in this solution for a few minutes, then gently scrub it with a soft-bristle toothbrush to remove any dirt or debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-avoid-ultrasonic-cleaners\">2. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid ultrasonic cleaners when it comes to emeralds. Though commonly used for cleaning jewellery, vibrations produced by these cleaners can cause cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/how-to-look-after-and-clean-your-jewellery\/\">How to Look After and Clean Your Jewellery<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-be-cautious-with-steam-cleaning\">3. Be cautious with steam cleaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Steam cleaning can effectively remove dirt and grime from your emerald engagement ring. However, it&#8217;s important to exercise caution. Set your steam cleaner to a low temperature and avoid prolonged exposure, as excessive heat can cause fracture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-store-your-ring-properly\">4. Store your ring properly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re not wearing your emerald you must store it properly to prevent scratches and damage. Keep your ring in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in a jewellery box to avoid contact with other pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-avoid-wearing-your-ring-during-strenuous-activities\">5. Avoid wearing your ring during strenuous activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove emerald jewellery before engaging in physical activities like sports, gardening, or household chores involving heavy lifting or abrasive materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-take-off-your-ring-before-swimming\">6. Take off your ring before swimming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chlorine and other chemicals found in swimming pools can be harmful to emeralds. To prevent any potential damage remove your ring before taking a dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-schedule-regular-professional-inspections\">7. Schedule regular professional inspections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that your emerald ring stays in optimal condition, it&#8217;s a good idea to have it inspected by a professional jeweler on a regular basis. They can check for loose stones, worn prongs, or any other issues that require attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-consider-getting-insurance\">8.
