Please Show Me Your Emeralds

[elle_71125]

I finally set my most recent emerald, 1.42 carats in a trillion and baguette setting. It’s a vibrant stone. Sunlight shots.

How lovely! I freaking adore emeralds and yours is beautiful! I love the 5 stone setting too. It compliments the emerald perfectly.

Ps. Really over here wishing emeralds weren’t so damn expensive so I could buy one.

Wow that is stunning! The history of the stone is also very fascinating! Neat that the rough was recovered from that shipwreck!

That's for meeeeee!!!

I'm obsessed with chunky halos right now! Loving the petal look!

I've always loved it but always decided in the end to skimp on the diamonds for whatever reason.

For my next ring I think I'll just go for it......

Hi all, longggg time lurker as in over a decade, first time poster here! Thought I’d post some pics of what I’m told is an emerald ring with these bits of diamonds that I inherited.

Not sure if you're looking for set or unset, or both, but here is mine, also from Dana. North Carolina emerald, .75 ct, 5.5 mm.

That is so cool that it was mined in the Carolinas! You can now eat whole hog and buy an emerald from the same two states

I had read that post by Robert Genis. It reminds me of a sapphire I recently submitted to AGL, and it came back as unheated, but oiled. Intrigued, I did some research. Apparently stones are sometimes submitted to get a clean report, and then oiled. Oiling improves clarity and is easy to remove and reapply. Buyer beware, indeed.
