The Enduring Brilliance of Emerald Engagement Rings
A lot of people are enthralled with the emerald's brilliance. Emeralds are associated with balance, growth, prosperity, and bliss. In Indian mythology, it is called marakata in the Sanskrit language, which literally means the green of growing things. Shah Jahan, the famous emperor of India who built Taj Mahal for his beloved wife, treated and wore these gemstones as talismans. Even the Hindu scriptures, called the Vedas, describe the emerald as a stone that can improve one's well-being.
Why Choose Emerald Engagement Rings
An emerald is believed to give happiness to married couples. In some areas of the world, it is a well-known aphrodisiac, which is why it is a stone thought to bring marital bliss to whoever wears it. This is also the reason why a lot of people choose to wear emerald engagement rings over other gemstones.
The vibrancy of emerald engagement rings makes them the perfect choice for engagement ring gemstones. These stones will perfectly complement olive-skinned ladies. So if your special someone has an olive skin tone, it is highly recommended that you choose an emerald stone framed by a gold band. Green and gold is a great combination, and the warmth of these colours will complement whoever wears it. For cooler skin tones, emeralds with a darker saturation and set on silver bands will work best.
Famous Emerald Engagement Rings
The elegant beauty of the emerald makes it a very popular gemstone for engagement rings. In fact, a lot of celebrity engagements were made with emerald engagement rings. John F. Kennedy presented a dazzling emerald-and-diamond engagement ring to Jackie Bouvier. Actor Olivier Martinez gave Halle Berry an exquisite four-carat Colombian emerald engagement ring flanked by two smaller diamonds framed in a yellow-gold band.
Why is there a resurgence of emerald engagement rings? There is no rule in the book that stipulates that men should purchase diamond engagement rings when proposing. It is refreshing to see an engagement ring in which the diamond is not the main focus. Emerald engagement rings are a departure from the traditional and conventional. So if your bride has a vibrant, unpredictable personality, presenting her with an unexpected, coloured gemstone for the proposal would be a pleasant surprise and would warrant the yes from her.
