Emerald Vintage-Inspired Engagement Rings

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for emerald vintage-inspired engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Emerald is the gem of love, fertility, and new beginnings. Style icons from Jacqueline Kennedy to Angelina Jolie love the dramatic statement of this vivid green gem. Gemvara's emerald has exceptional color and lasting value. In addition to being the May birthstone, emerald is the 20th anniversary gem and the 35th anniversary gem. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by David West, Stephanie Satow, Gary Stucchi, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. If you love vintage jewelry but have a modern fast-paced lifestyle, our vintage-inspired designs give you the best of both worlds: modern quality construction and comfort with the detailed design and hand craftsmanship of the past. Clean emerald vintage-inspired engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality emerald vintage-inspired engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Known as the gem of Venus, the emerald is a symbol of love, rebirth, and even an aid to fertility. Popular among style icons Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, and the Duchess of Windsor, emeralds are as fashionable as they are glamorous. When purchasing an emerald, the most important element to consider is color. Fine emeralds have a vibrant, grass-green color. Among the rarest of gems, they are almost always found with birthmarks, known as inclusions and often called "jardin." Some imperfections are expected, but do not detract from the value of the stone (unlike most other gemstones). In fact, an emerald without flaws would not look natural to a connoisseur. The fissures that are characteristic of the emerald are traditionally filled with oil or resin as to not diminish the gem's brilliance. Gemvara sells only natural, vivid green emeralds in exceptional quality from Colombia. Emerald is May's birthstone and the 20th and 35th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality emerald will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine emerald jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
