Emerald Cocktail Rings

Emerald cocktail rings make beautiful additions to any cocktail dress as well as adding style and class to almost any attire. Most of the emerald rings availible for sale are accented with diamonds, which adds a nice sparkle to the setting. You can find emerald cocktail rings set in many different precious metals including yellow gold, white gold and sterling silver. Some stones are "lab created" emeralds while others are natural.

The difference between created stones and natural ones is usually clarity. Natural emeralds (unless extremely rare and perfect) have a milky green color. The lab created stones are much more clear. Many people actually prefer the look of created stones. The lab created stones, which can also include sapphires and diamonds, are much less expensive as well.

Depending on your budget and the size of the setting you want, you could expect to spend as little as $50. Prices of better and/or bigger stones can run in the thousands of dollars. The traditional cocktail ring has a very large stone, so most opt for a large lab created stone for value and that extra sparkle. A large, well cut emerald cocktail ring would definitely catch everyone's eye at your next important soiree.

Many online retailers have excellent prices on cocktail rings. A quick Google search yields tons of hits for online retailers. While some enjoy shopping online, when it comes to jewelry, I suggest making a trip to the jewelry store. That way you can actually try the ring on, see how it looks on your finger, and you also get a much better idea of the size of the stones. There are many ways to find the perfect ring. Don't be hasty when purchasing. This is an investment and eventually you will run into the ring you can't live without.
