Anyone with emerald target ring?

[Mjay]

I’m considering an emerald target ring but I’m concerned about chipping and splitting. Does anyone have an emerald target ring? I’m wondering how the French cut emeralds have held up

@Mjay I have a something similiar that I recently purchased , going to restore . This is an antique, so these emeralds have a lot of miles on them! The biggest problem with this ring is not so much damage to the emeralds, but that over time the 18k gold channels have thinned and failed. Now the emeralds have shifted. But keep in mind, this is from 1920's(?). I think emerald targets are gorgeous!

I have an antique emerald navette ring. The emeralds have held up pretty well, but there is wear. I wouldn't let it detract you from getting that if you like that. I personally really love Calibre halos. Here is my ring for perspective on the wear.

I have an emerald target ring that I had made by the very talented David Klass. I have worn it every days for the past two years with no issues what-so-ever. My advice would be to make sure the setting covers the edges of the emeralds. This will protect them from dings and chips. I think your idea to have them set in a target is a great one, but then again...I'm biased.

Thank you! She's still going strong and that's saying a lot now that we've added a baby into our mix! Spit-up and diapers are no match for these emeralds.
