FAQ about Engagement Rings with Emeralds in USA

Is emerald OK for an engagement ring?

Emeralds can be a beautiful and unique choice for an engagement ring, offering a distinct, vibrant green color that stands out from more traditional options. However, emeralds are softer than diamonds, registering 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness compared to a diamond's 10. This means they are more susceptible to scratches and chips, and may require more careful handling. If an emerald's unique color and charm outweigh these considerations for you, they can certainly make a lovely and meaningful engagement ring stone.

Are emeralds more expensive than diamonds?

The cost of emeralds compared to diamonds varies greatly depending on several factors, including the quality, size, and origin of the stones. Generally, high-quality emeralds can be quite valuable, sometimes fetching higher prices than diamonds of a similar size. However, diamonds typically command higher prices at the highest quality levels, especially when considering very large stones. The rarity of the stone, its color, clarity, cut, and carat weight will all affect its price.

Why do emerald cut diamonds not sparkle as much?

Emerald cut diamonds are designed with step cuts and a large, open table (the top flat facet), which creates a hall-of-mirrors effect rather than the fiery sparkle of a brilliant-cut diamond like the round or princess cut. This cut emphasizes the clarity, color, and luster of the diamond rather than its sparkle. The emerald cut's broad facets can produce broad flashes of light known as the "emerald flash," but they do not have the same scintillating brilliance or "sparkle" that is found in the more common round brilliant cut diamonds. This is because the cut does not optimize the light return through the top of the diamond, which is what produces the sparkling effect known as brilliance.
