Hello!
I have just started looking for an emerald to make a ring for my grandmother who is not quite 80yo. I hope to give it to her by this Christmas, at the latest. It will be set into a YG setting I already have. I'm working on a small budget of $500 MAX for the stone as she WILL NOT wear anything that even looks expensive. (For reference, she just freaked out after I impulse bought her a Citizen Eco Drive for about $200 after hearing for 2+ years that that would be her dream watch because it didn't need a battery...)
I was going to have a pearl put in the setting for her, but she recently lamented that though emerald is her birthstone, she has never had an emerald. I want to try make that dream come true for her. It doesn't have to big, flashy, perfect, or new...just good quality for the price. I would prefer a color darker than mint, though. Any recommendations appreciated!
