Emerald ring

Emerald, or as it was called in Ancient Russia - smaragd, is one of the varieties of beryl. By itself, beryl is colorless, but it turns it into a wonderfully beautiful stone with various shades of green admixture of chromium. Depending on its content and additional inclusions, the shade and depth of color, as well as the transparency of the stone, change.

The place where beautiful emeralds are most often found is Colombia, but there are also deposits in India, Pakistan, Russia, and Africa. This beautiful stone was known long before the discovery of America. He was loved and appreciated, he was worshiped and believed in his magical abilities.

Unlike other precious stones, the emerald comes first in the assessment of color, and only then transparency, this is its advantage. Finding a transparent brightly colored emerald is just incredible luck. But even if the stone has inclusions, but at the same time it has a rich color, its value will not decrease. Cracks and small splits are also characteristic of natural emerald. To fill such cracks there are special technologies.

There are differences in the cut of emerald crystals. For him, a special cut was developed, called emerald.Its design looks like a square or rectangle with rounded corners. This shape not only shows the splendor of color and brilliance of the emerald, but also allows you to protect against damage. However, other types of cutting are also used for emeralds. If the stone has many cracks and inclusions, then cabochon is a more acceptable cut, resulting in lovely emerald pearls.

The emerald, which has a history of being used by people, has been endowed and is endowed with many magical properties. First of all, he acts as a stone defender of kindness and pure thoughts. If its owner does not carry negativity, is neither deceitful nor aggressive, then the crystal helps him to be healthy, successful, and protects him from troubles. For people prone to scams and atrocities, a stone can be an amulet that does not save, but sends disasters. But, nevertheless, it is more commonly believed that the stone keeps the house, family, marriage bonds, and contributes to the birth of children.

Emerald is also loved by people endowed with extraordinary abilities. The stone helps them communicate with the higher powers of the universe, decipher signals and messages from the subtle world.

Endowed with emerald and healing qualities. In ancient times, they were saved from pain in the joints and headaches, they treated diseases of the stomach and gallbladder. It is believed that it has a bactericidal effect and can disinfect water if a stone is thrown into a glass.

Currently, emerald is credited with the ability to make sleep sound, save from nightmares, and reduce fatigue.

If you focus on the signs of the Zodiac, then the emerald is most suitable for Taurus, Gemini and Cancer.

For Taurus, who gravitate towards everything earthly, an emerald is able to bring more bright colors and positive emotions into life, drive away despondency and lethargy.If Taurus wear emerald jewelry, then they have a great chance of being lucky in the implementation of all their plans, achieving goals. Emerald brings insight and wisdom into their lives.

Also for Gemini, the stone will become an assistant in the fight against nervousness, discontent and whining. The emerald is also able to reduce their craving for talkativeness, strengthen memory, and add self-confidence.

Emerald is able to have a calming effect on Cancers, it helps to cope with excessive emotions and brings a positive attitude, joy and peace into the life of Cancers.

Emerald rings have been worn by both women and men at all times. For girls, this stone was revered as the guardian of chastity, and men, especially sailors, considered it an amulet protecting them on long journeys. Nowadays, designers around the world are developing models for both men and women.

Emerald is one of the most expensive stones, some stones surpass diamonds in value. Accordingly, for the manufacture of jewelry, in particular rings, the same precious metals are used. Currently, as in ancient times, precious metals are used for rings with emerald inserts - gold, silver, platinum, but in addition, many designers use frames made from varieties of these metals.

The delicate softness of light silver is the perfect setting for the rich green of the emerald. Moreover, silver itself is quite a soft metal and goes well with a not very hard emerald, keeping its bright luster from clouding. The silver frame is considered the most suitable for enhancing the energy impact of the emerald. Platinum. Undoubtedly, the nobility and light shade of platinum are ideally combined with the brightness and velvety green of emerald. But, unlike silver, platinum is a harder metal, and therefore it is rarely used to set emeralds, it is always used in combination with other metals.

It is difficult to imagine a more classic combination than the gold of the sun and the delicate green of emerald grass. Yellow gold in combination with a bright emerald gives the ring aristocracy and chic, elegance and sophistication. Emeralds look no less magnificent in a frame of white gold, shading their brightness. Now the popularity of engagement rings made of white gold with emeralds is growing. And the combination of red gold and emerald, as well as with yellow gold, is a classic.

A large stone is considered to be a stone weighing more than two carats. And given that a high-quality emerald weighing more than 5 carats is valued more than a diamond, then there is no doubt that the affordability of such rings is very limited. In addition, stones with this weight are found mainly in Colombia, most of them are bought by the government, the rest are dispersed in collections. This all explains that it is very difficult to find a ring with a large emerald.

We have already mentioned the emerald cut created specifically for this stone.This option is a square, sometimes a rectangle, with truncated corners - an octagon. The cutting is carried out in steps, which allows you to focus not on the external brilliance of the stone, but on its internal saturation with color. And such a cut protects the stone itself, relieving excessive stress. The square emerald ring option is perfect for both women and men. In addition, this cut option belongs to the middle price category of jewelry.

Emerald goes great with other gemstones. But, given that this stone is one of the most expensive, it is usually combined with precious stones. Jewelers are especially fond of emphasizing the beautiful green of the emerald with diamonds. But rings look no less good, where emeralds are brought together with sapphires, rubies, aquamarines.

When choosing a ring, you should follow a few rules. And when it comes to choosing a ring with a natural emerald, an expensive piece of jewelry that can worthily enter the category of family jewels, then the choice becomes difficult.

First of all, the question arises about the authenticity of the stone. Here is the most secure way to make purchases in reliable stores for products of famous brands with certificates.

If the purchase of the ring does not take place in luxury stores, feel free to refuse rings with large bright and sparkling green stones. Most likely, it will be either a green semi-precious stone, or an artificial emerald, or even just well-cut glass. A real emerald will not sparkle like rhinestones, its brilliance is muted and, as jewelers say, resembles noble velvet.The presence of some “flaws” in the stone in the form of cracks, uneven coloring, a yellowish tint and blotches can serve as a sign that the stone is natural. There are also light green translucent emeralds, they are not of very high value, but transparent stones are more common among light-colored emeralds.

The choice of ring should also take into account factors such as the shape of the fingers and hands:

• If the fingers are plump, it is preferable to choose rings with an asymmetric shape.
• Short fingers can be visually made longer if the ring has a pear-shaped or teardrop-shaped insert located along the finger.
• With very narrow fingers, it is better to avoid rings with large geometric stones.
• A wide brush will look more elegant if you opt for a ring with an oval insert.

The emerald is a self-sufficient stone, its precious beauty does not need to be emphasized by the appropriate tone of the dress. This ring will be perfectly combined with elegant clothes of simple lines.

• A perfect classic - a ring with an emerald for evening and cocktail dresses.
• Emerald with white color looks spectacular, which makes emerald rings a luxurious addition to wedding dresses.
• It is traditionally believed that an emerald ring is worn on the little finger, but according to astrologers, other options are possible, each of which has its own characteristics.

• On the little finger, an emerald ring will take care of the health of the heart and blood vessels.
• By wearing a ring on your ring finger, you can gain confidence in love.
• If the ring is worn on the middle finger, the jewelry will protect you from adventures and dangers.
• The ring on the index finger can bestow eloquence, determination and stamina.

The cost of an emerald ring is influenced by several aspects. The main part of the cost, of course, will be determined by the emerald itself, and the following factors will play a role here:

• Cut. Even the most expensive and beautiful stone needs the right cut. The talent and professionalism of a jeweler lies in the ability to choose a cut that can highlight and enhance the natural beauty of the stone, reflecting all its originality and magnificence. For emeralds, the most expensive is the round shape. Next in value are the cabochon and the baguette. Middle class rings are made with a square, oval pear-shaped crystal.

• Mineral size. Large emeralds weighing more than 2 carats are rare and expensive, for such emeralds the cost increases exponentially depending on the weight. Quality. The quality of an emerald often determines the value of an emerald more than the size. First of all, color saturation and transparency are taken into account. Small inclusions and heterogeneity are not considered disadvantages for an emerald. The cost may also reflect the place where the mineral is mined. Manufacturer. Here is the usual dependence for all products. The more famous the manufacturer's brand, the higher the cost.

Having bought a ring with an emerald, you need to make sure that it pleases you for many years, and this requires appropriate care. Care begins with the ability to wear such a ring. Put the ring on clean, dry hands, exposure to cream and other cosmetics is undesirable. It is necessary to avoid contact of the stone with cleaning and chemical agents. Try to remove the ring during physical work, training, housekeeping.

Keep the emerald ring in a separate box with soft velvet upholstery. For all its hardness, the emerald is not protected from scratches and chips.

But if you remember that an emerald is a stone that reflects the moral principles of the owner, then you need to clean not only the stone, but also your thoughts, your attitude to life. Sometimes the owners of emerald rings wonder why the stone has darkened. It is generally accepted that the emerald darkens, moreover, it can crack if it is worn by a person full of anger, deceit, and aggression. The stone absorbs all the negativity, and therefore darkens.

But even with proper wear and storage over time, stone contamination cannot be avoided. The best way out in such cases is to go to the jeweler, where the stone will be cleaned with all the precautions by professional means. It is also possible to use special cosmetics, which can be purchased at jewelry stores or workshops. And finally, if all the previous options are not possible for any reason, you can use home cleaning products. To do this, put the ring in a soapy solution overnight, and then gently rinse it under running water. If there is a need to rub with a soft toothbrush in places of teeth of fastening of a stone.To refresh the stone, you can use ammonia by wiping the stone with a cotton swab dipped in a solution of ammonia.
