Show me your emerald rings please!

I would like to buy an emerald ring in tribute to a lost loved one. They left me a bit of money and we had an inside joke about emerald rings. It just feels like the right thing to spend it on.
Ideally I would like to buy preloved or vintage. I’m just so stuck on style! Would appreciate anyone showing me ones they have to give me inspiration on style!

Budget of around £1000.

@nebulae yours is stunning, where is it from?

@Persiana Hi, when someone asked earlier I wasn't sure (as my mum bought it for me) but I've just had a look using a loupe and it was from QVC.

PickledMuffin · 30/05/2023 22:46

@olympicsrock thank you. Yours is beautiful. the one i was given is way too big! I like more subtle, like yours. My son loves big jewellery!

I love emeralds, but they’re fragile - a few years ago I wanted to buy an emerald ring to wear every day, but the jeweller persuaded me to have a sapphire as they’re more hard wearing. I’ve managed to chip the sapphire so that was probably the right call. I have a plan to buy some emerald earrings for my 50th birthday instead. You might not want to wear your ring every day, but I love the idea.

Love mine. I've had it 40 years now.

Gosh all these rings are beautiful. This one is especially very lovely. My MIL has a similar one. She is a C of E vicar and FIL and gave it to her the night before her ordination. Funny about the eye debate going on, he said it reminded him of her green eyes - honestly they’re such a pair of slushies 🤣 DH and I often say that they are the newlyweds and we are the boring middle agers.

@CordeliaNaismithVorkosigan Yes I had read this a few times as I was looking for rings! I work long shifts in retail constantly knocking my hands and wrists so I’ll make sure it’s off for work 😅
