Thanks Lovedogs, Minous and NKOTB!
And, Katharath, don't feel silly! I had to get mine after seeing yours! They really are that unbelievable in person. Makes me really
want to see a glowy paraiba in person one day!
I am not sick of pics of any of your rings NKOTB!

Thank you :). I know that our emeralds came from the same parcel, so I'm confident that they're both wonderful rings!! I just felt like it might be overkill to show mine too, but I appreciate that everyone seems to be fine with it. Now I feel silly for feeling silly in the first place, lol.

And I agree with you too - I never get sick of any of NKOTB's pics either!

I'm so jealous of all of your beautiful emerald pieces! :love:

Would love to own one of my own one day.

This thread is not good for me! :lol: I couldn't resist looking though. I'd love an emerald at some point, but that point is waaaaay off in the distant future.

Here's mine, hopefully people aren't sick of it. ;-)

I swoon over your emerald ring. :love: :lickout: And drool. Lots of drool.

Ugh- this thread kills me!

I love emeralds. PSers know how to pick them, too. Everything on this thread looks ethereal.

Thanks to all of the posters How I'd love to join the emerald club, too!

Thank you for this thread and all the beautiful pictures. Emeralds are a special love of mine and it is great to have a thread to showcase how beautiful they can be. Some amazing stunners in this thread. My simple rule if it is a good emerald: it mesmerizes you. Here is a stone I got from Embassy emeralds. In the picture with 3 stones it is the one on the bottom.

Wowza! Are you sure you didn't steal it from a museum or something?
This ring is individualized,I first bought a stone from my jeweler, and then find someone to set.

way late in this thread, but WHO is your jeweler?

So many new gorgeous emerald rings! Must be the season :)

mochiko - what a STATEMENT piece-- classic and stunning. I've always envied your design sense.
part gypsy - beautiful emerald that stands out in the simplicity of YG
userangl - your emerald has wonderful glow and is beautifully set
Niel - I hope your mom is enjoying her ring as much as I am enjoying your pictures..love diamonds with the colored sides and the unique design

I love emeralds and seeing them highlighted in so many beautiful designs is making me drool.

Thanks minous and lilmosun. Perhaps my emerald isn't as deep glowing green as some of the other amazing emeralds owned by PSers, but I had to compromise to get the size I wanted! :naughty: It was a long journey but Yvonne came through in the end and she and her bench did a wonderful job!


Niel, I adore your mama's ring. It's funny but it reminds me of Wall-e, it brings a smile to my face when I see your ring. I love the beautiful design and the gorgeous kelly green emeralds. :love:

part gypsy, what a classic and stunning setting for your emerald. The yellow gold with the rich green emerald looks so amazingly luxurious!

userangl28212003, I love your emerald ring! The filigree vintage style setting is gorgeous too and the emerald really pops! =)

Hello! Long-time lurker, first time poster :D
My then-fiance, now-husband and I first came across this forum a few years ago when we were starting to look for a sapphire for an engagement ring.... A big "thank you!" to all the knowledgeable posters (Chronos, mochiko, minousbijoux, LD, and so many others) who take the time to share their experience and knowledge!

I went to my first gem show earlier this year, and I swore to myself I wasn't planning on buying anything :angel: , was just gonna look around and learn a bit, then came across this Columbian emerald. It's not a very deep green, but I think it's quite "glowy"

Which of these two would you prefer and why? And sorry the stones are a bit smudged, they've been handled a lot lately! Also, pics are taken at night with indoor lighting, maybe not the best but at least it's a starting point. One will be for a ring, one for part of a necklace.

Top: 1.37ct, 6.9mm
Bottom: 1.48ct, 7.3x7.5mm

This is my Emerald ring, awful photo I'm afraid. Hard to get them looking the right colour when you're using your phone camera. :wall: Nevertheless I love this ring, only for special occasions, I think the emerald is about 5 carats?

I have a small ring that I bought in 1998, and a couple of round emeralds that I was on the verge of selling but an appraiser advised to make earrings. I always wanted to have one really nice, but somehow I never run into them, shows or no shows.

Colombian emerald ring in 18k, and platinum emerald and diamond bracelet. Emeralds are hard to capture with my phone camera!

I really like the color, and also, how clean it is.

Thank you! Your earrings are lovely. I would love to eventually wear some emerald earrings. Those must be gorgeous on.

I have been meaning to post my ring for a while. I have no idea why the emerald looks bluish, it is not at all. I guess its my iPhone or my lack of photography skills. Anyway, I'm a May girl (my birthday was Friday), so I should post my birthstone. Please excuse my dry hands! IMG_1826.JPG
