Before the end of the month, we had to bring you the beautiful emerald, which is May’s birthstone. To our eye, the emerald looks best when set against a light background since it allows the rich green to come through with sparkling clarity. The light background could be sterling silver, platinum, white gold, or palladium. We’ve picked some of our favorites to showcase here. While there are more expensive as well as cheaper options for an emerald ring, the rings here are between $100 and $200.
Our Favorite Affordable Emerald Rings
Sterling Silver Natural Emerald Solitaire
This beautiful emerald ring was made in England with real, solid sterling silver. The emerald is a natural gemstone measuring 8 x 6 mm. The designer handset this stone in a setting surrounded by carved silver to make it a stunning solitaire. On the interior of the shank, there’s a British Hallmark and a leopard’s head, which marks the designer. There’s a 925, too. That’s the mark of real sterling silver. This 1.05 carat stone is oiled to bring out a beautiful sheen. It’s available in half sizes ranging from 4 through 12, and comes with a lovely presentation box.
10k White Gold Cushion Cut Simulated Emerald with Round Diamonds
To get this large of a cushion cut emerald, the designer chose to use a simulated emerald for the middle stone. The diamonds are beautiful round shaped stones with a color of IJ and a minimum clarity of I2-I3. The total gem weight of the stones are 1.15 carats, and the ring itself measures 1.55 mm by 10.16 mm. The ring comes in sizes 6 through 8, but isn’t resizable unfortunately.
10k White Gold Emerald and Diamond Ring
Next on our list of affordable emerald rings, this 6 x 4 mm natural emerald is set in the middle of 6 genuine diamonds in a setting of white gold. The emerald is an emerald shape, which gives it a unique look against the cluster of 3 diamonds on each side. The natural, oiled emerald has some minor surface imperfections, but no major visible ones. This means that you won’t see the inclusions unless you’re looking during magnification. The diamonds are a minimum color of IJ while the clarity is I2-I3. They’re natural and untreated. It comes in sizes ranging from 4.5 to 10.
