Emerald and Ruby: Better alternatives to Diamond!


Today everyone prefers buying diamonds in weddings and engagements. The reason is their exclusivity and great lustre. Moreover, they express your love and commitment for the person you love and want to tie a knot with. Diamonds are truly a woman’s best friend and perfectly symbolize love and romance. In diamonds there are basically four characteristics i.e. cut, colour, carat and clarity. Out of these four, carat, clarity and colour are naturally acquired qualities of a diamond while cut determine the appearance of diamonds. When you will shop for diamonds you can find different shapes and types, with or without combination of other gemstones. 



In combination with emerald or ruby, the diamond engagement rings look great.

In emerald cut, the regular rectangular shape is given to the ring that goes well with diamonds. Although, emerald has a grace and lustre of its own which alone also creates magic but when combined with diamond looks stunningly beautiful. There are several designs found in emerald wedding rings or engagement rings such as contemporary rings, bridal sets and unique styles. For weddings or engagements, the most common setting is a classic four- prong arrangement. It protects the delicate edges of a diamond and gives steadiness to the stone. An emerald solitaire can be a real piece of jewellery that can attract any jewellery lover. For a classic emerald cut the length-to-width ratio has to be considered and to make it perfect, it should range from 1.3:1 to not more than 1.75:1. But the ultimate choice is yours, if you want a narrower or wider version of emerald wedding rings or engagement rings, you have the options.


Another popular choice is ruby rings that go well with the theme of a wedding or engagement. As it is an occasion of love and passion, red is the best colour. Ruby resembles the romantic colour so it connects well with the grandness of the occasion. You can buy ruby engagement rings or wedding rings, at the most affordable prices from the online as well as offline stores. This also makes a great combination with diamond. You will find a huge selection of ruby and diamond rings in a wide array of designs. Depending on your taste you can pick the one that fits well with your theme and your attire. If you are budget conscious then drop diamond from the list and choose a ruby ring with some other semi precious stone.
