Emerald rings?

Lab created means fake... it was made in a lab not natural ... I love emeralds (May birthday) ... I'm not a fan of fake .. real is worth more better heirloom

It was created in a lab not natural how is that inaccurate and yes worth less

It was not ment to be offensive .

I love my lab created emerald ER. I am a May baby and wouldn't want it any other way.

I never said anything about a moissanite... also i did put that it's not natural j/s ...

The lab created stones are the equivalent of a greenhouse to grow plants.

I love emeralds!

I don't have much experience with emeralds, but I think they're gorgeous and I think lab created is perfectly fine. And I love pear shaped rings!! I bet it'll be so pretty!

My fiancé works in the jewelry business and has said emeralds are a soft stone. He has said that a green sapphire will be more durable. I don't know how this works with lab created stones though.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to look into their hardness. I know they aren't as hard as a diamond but I'm not sure exactly how soft either.

@amandah they aren't fake. They are grown in a laboratory but are identical chemically, physically and optically to natural gems.

It's not my E ring but FH gave me one for my birthday before we got engaged because dark green is my favorite color. It's honestly so beautiful and I wear it sometimes instead of my E ring, I love it so much!

@luckyak does it scratch or anything?

I have an emerald engagement ring. It's actually an antique, and it holds up remarkably well. If you love it, go for it.

Thank you!

You do you girl! I have a sapphire ring, dunno if it's lab or not, but I absolutely adore it. And to be honest I've seen some butt ugly natural emeralds out there, so lab would probably be best. I would look into durability though. I'd make sure it's harder or as hard as things like quartz so if you bang in on granite and the like it won't get scratched. Big reason I chose sapphire over my first choice of tanzanite.

I have lab created stone and it's perfect BECAUSE it's man made. It's still technically natural in that it's properties are the same. The way it was formed is not natural, but that doesn't make it any less valuable. In fact, if you were to bring it in to a jeweler they wouldn't be able to tell any difference. Plus, I don't have to worry that my diamond might have been a "blood diamond" in any case. No one will know the difference and it's certainly not fake. Go for it!

Also, I just wanted to say that pear shaped rings are my fav! I made sure FH knew that before he proposed. lol luckily he took the hint.

I have a lab created emerald because I wanted something ethically sourced. I like lab over natural because they have fewer inclusions and generally sparkle better.

Mine has held up well for a year now, but I do need to get it cleaned regularly to keep it shiny. I also removed it wherever I clean as bleach can harm it.

I would recommend checking out green sapphires if you can afford them since they are harder. If not, be sure to go with a jeweler who guarantees the stone and will replace it if it ever chips or gets scratched.

My ring is emerald . I love it ! I get many compliments .
