Emerald Engagement Ring Quality
The uncanny sparkle reflected by vintage emerald engagement rings with perfect saturation and exceptional quality retains high value in both: national and international markets. It is treasured by jewelry makers and buyers worldwide for its energetic green hue, clarity, luster, brilliance, and elegance- and valued in millions. However, the color of the emerald gemstone isn't the only or sole factor that affects its pricing in the markets. Other parameters like the weight of the gemstone, its size, methods of treatment, polishing, certificate of authenticity, the metal it was carved in, and the origin also significantly impact the emerald engagement ring price. Below are a few parameters that affect the prices of emerald wedding rings:
-
Origin
: The best quality Emerald (Panna) mines have been discovered in Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, Russia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the United States, and Australia. Being highly saturated and perfectly balanced in green and blue tints, Colombian emeralds are considered superior to other origins, followed by Zambian Emeralds. Brazilian Emeralds are dark and thus less desirable.
-
Cut
: Having a value of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, emeralds tend to be delicate but consequently a durable option when curating an emerald wedding ring with limitless designs, shapes, or metal. Whether you are looking for oval emerald engagement rings, emerald silver engagement rings, white gold emerald engagement rings, or want a specially customized engagement ring, the gemstone's cut significantly impacts the jewelry's overall worth.
-
Size
: Emerald gemstone jewelry can be found in all sizes and designs. Both small and large-sized Emerald can be mounted on any piece of jewelry. The larger the size, the higher the Emerald price per carat.
Emerald Engagement Ring Price
Known as Cleopatra's favorite stone, naturally occurring emeralds free of inclusions are incredibly rare; therefore, the prices of such natural emerald engagement rings tend to vary according to their availability in the international markets. In fact, an emerald wedding ring can sometimes be worth more than a solitaire engagement ring depending on the rarity, few inclusions, color, cut, clarity, and carat.
For example, the price of a yellow gold engagement ring containing emeralds from Zambia can start from INR 1,30,000 ($1570.67) to as high as INR 4,50,000 ($5436.92).
Another less known factor, i.e., if a similar engagement ring has been worn by a celebrity or not, also impacts the pricing of a wedding ring. From Grace Kelly to Paris Hilton, Elizabeth Taylor to Victoria Beckam, emerald-cut emerald rings have been the taste of legends. The Academy Award-winning actress Elizabeth Taylor's iconic Bulgari emerald ring is estimated to be valued around- $600,000 - $800,000.
