Is an emerald ring good for everyday wear?

Emeralds are relatively brittle and chip more easily than sapphire or ruby, so this ring suits occasional wear better than daily wear. Take it off for cleaning, gardening or gym sessions.

How does this compare with a sapphire or ruby version?

Sapphire and ruby are harder and more durable than emerald, so they hold up better to daily wear. The emerald gives a greener, more classic look but needs gentler handling.

What stones are in the ring?

An emerald-cut emerald of about 1 1/20 ct. t.w. as the center stone, with a diamond accent of about 1/20 ct. t.w. The metal is sterling silver.

How should I care for it?

Keep it away from harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and wipe it with a soft cloth. Store it separately so the emerald does not knock against harder stones.

Does it come in other gemstone options?

The Effy line includes ruby and sapphire versions in similar emerald-cut styles, so you can compare those if you want a harder stone.
