All About Emerald Jewelry and Engagement Rings

Emerald cut engagement rings are becoming very popular due to their sophistication and beauty. During the reign of Pope Innocent III, emerald diamond engagement rings were worn by the wealthy class. Emeralds were considered a symbol of wealth and sophistication. The engagement of Mary of Burgundy in 1477 to Archduke Maximillian of Austria was reportedly the very first time and emerald cut engagement ring was ever used..

Emerald cut diamond rings are usually cut as a square or a rectangle. The corners are often cut to resemble a "box". Engagement rings can be greatly enhanced with beautifully cut emeralds. Sometimes the emerald diamond cut can be arranged in rectangular steps that will create an illusion of a larger stone. This is called having a "step cut", as the facets have an appearance of stair steps.

Emerald cut diamond engagement rings are known to be simple, yet elegant and unique. Not all women are into sparkly and flashy diamond rings. Emerald cut diamonds are an excellent choice for women who prefer simplicity and classiness over flashy brightness.

Can you cut a diamond in the form of a penguin in an engagement ring?

i love penguins and I needed a diamond in the form of a penguin possible?

Hi You can not have a single diamond cut in the shape of a penguin, but it would be very expensive. The reason is that it should be cut from a larger stone and these are very expensive, for example, a 5-carat stone with good quality 4C (I'll explain later) can cost from $ 75,000. If you cut the stone of 5 carats in a penguin that end with a single stone of about 2 carats and a lot of pieces. The combined value of these stones that (probably) less than $ 20,000 - because only the largest diamonds are worth more per carat than a collection of smaller diamonds. So how do another option? You could have a penguin built from smaller diamonds and set into a platinum mounting so it looks almost like a stone? This way you can buy lower quality diamonds and have the Penguin 2 carat ring for a much lower price - and if you decided to cash in should get their money back later - hopefully If more diamond prices are skyrocketing. It is also necessary to get a good diamond cutter for this - the best are in Antwerp, Belgium, where 80% of the worlds of the larger diamonds are cut. You should also check out the 4C, color, carat, clarity and cut. A good website to see is www.bestdiamonds.co.uk (which are related to the stock market and Antwerp diamond cutters). Good luck
