Is the emerald a real emerald?

It is a lab-created emerald, chemically the same as a mined emerald but grown in a lab. It has the same green color and inclusions, with more consistent quality.

How durable is it for daily wear?

Emerald ranks 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, softer than diamond or sapphire. A prong setting protects the stone, but take it off for gym, garden and cleaning work.

What is the difference between the moissanite and diamond accent versions?

Both are accent stones around the center. Moissanite throws more rainbow fire and is lab-made; diamond is the traditional choice and harder.

Which metal should I pick?

Sterling silver is the lightest option and can tarnish over time. 14k gold and platinum hold up best for daily wear, and rose gold gives the emerald a warm contrast.

A pave band limits resizing, since sizing can disturb the set stones. Ask for the correct size up front, and expect a jeweler to resize only within a small range.

Does it come with a matching wedding band?

The ring itself has a diamond-accented milgrain band. A separate plain or curved band is usually needed to sit flush against the low-set center stone.
