Is prasiolite a durable stone for a ring?

It is quartz, roughly 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. That is fine for occasional cocktail wear but softer than sapphire or diamond, so it can scratch and chip with hard daily knocks.

Is the gold solid or plated?

It is listed as 14K yellow gold, which means the metal itself is 14-karat gold rather than a plating over brass or silver.

What color is prasiolite?

Pale green, sometimes called green amethyst. It is a heat-treated form of amethyst and reads as a soft mint tone rather than a saturated green.

Can I wear it every day?

It is built as a cocktail ring, so it suits evenings and events better than daily wear. The cushion-cut quartz is the part most likely to show wear.

What should I compare it against?

Look at 14K cocktail rings with green quartz, blue topaz or amethyst at similar carat weights. Compare the stone size and gold weight, since those drive most of the price.

Our take on the Bloomingdale's 14K Yellow Gold Prasiolite Ring

A cocktail ring from Bloomingdale's Fine Collection in solid 14K yellow gold, set with a cushion-cut prasiolite. Prasiolite is a pale green quartz, so the stone reads soft and minty rather than bright like an emerald or blue like an aquamarine. The design is aimed at evening and semi-formal wear rather than daily stacking. No current price or price history was provided, so check the live comparison before buying.
