Tip #6- Green with Envy: There are so many options if she is drawn to green. You can choose from emerald, peridot, green amethyst, green tourmaline, seafoam tourmaline, tsavorite garnet, and green sapphire. The choices for green can seem overwhelming but these green gemstones are all very distinct in their look.
Emeralds are the color of a beautiful lawn, a rich yet bright green. Emeralds are one of the rarest gemstones and do command a premium in price. They are also commonly with found with natural birthmarks, or inclusions, in the gemstones. Emeralds are one of the only gemstones in which it is not only common but quite acceptable to be found with inclusions. Too many inclusions can cause the stone to look unattractive and dull, but few inclusions are just fine and the rich color of the stone often masks these birthmarks. The birthmarks are unique evidence that the gemstones were created naturally, deep inside the Earth. Emeralds are generally found in smaller sizes and stones over 1 carat are considered rare. MyJewelrySouce.com has a small but very fine collection of emerald engagement rings.
Peridot is more of an apple green, a bright and lively stone. Peridot is relatively inexpensive and is easily found in sizes up to 5 carats. Peridot rings are just a pleasure to wear. The color is vibrant and in a certain sense, cheerful.
Green amethyst can be considered more of a neutral since it has a very soft celadon green color. Since green amethyst is readily available in sizes from 1 carat to 20 carats, they are many ring options available. Green amethysts are very inexpensive and you can really get a lot of bang for your buck, so to speak, with green amethyst.
A green tourmaline engagement ring might be one you would choose to match her eye color. Green tourmaline can be a forest green or olive green, generally saturated in color. We have a small, carefully chosen selection of green tourmaline engagement rings. Many of the styles even have matching bands. Seafoam tourmaline is one of our favorites at MyJewelrySource because it has a wonderful unique combination of turquoise, mint, and apple green all in one incredible stone.
