But even if the stone has inclusions, but at the same time it has a rich color, its cost will not decrease. Cracks and small splits are also characteristic of natural emerald. To fill such cracks there are special technologies.
There are differences in the cutting of emerald crystals. For it was developed a special cut, called emerald. Its design looks like a square or rectangle with smoothed corners. This form not only demonstrates the splendor of the color and brilliance of emerald, but also helps protect against damage. However, other types of cutting are used for emerald. If the stone has a lot of cracks and inclusions, then a cabochon is more acceptable cut, resulting in lovely emerald pearls.

Varieties
Emerald is one of the most expensive stones, some stones exceed diamonds in their value. Accordingly, for the manufacture of jewelry, in particular rings, the same precious metals are used. Currently, for rings with emerald inserts, precious metals like gold, silver, platinum are used, as in antiquity, but in addition, many designers use frames made from varieties of these metals.
Silver
Gentle softness of light silver is an excellent setting for rich green emerald. Moreover, silver itself is a fairly soft metal and is suitable for a not very hard emerald, retaining its bright shine from clouding. Silver frame is considered the most suitable for enhancing the energy impact of emerald. Platinum. Undoubtedly, the nobility and light shade of platinum are ideally combined with the brightness and velvet green of emerald. But, unlike silver, platinum is a harder metal, and therefore it is rarely used to frame emeralds, or used in combination with other metals.
Gold
It’s hard to imagine a more classic combination than the gold of the sun and the tender green of the emerald grass. Yellow gold in composition with a bright emerald gives the ring aristocracy and chic, elegance and sophistication. Not less great look emeralds in a frame of white gold, shading their brightness. The popularity of white gold and emerald engagement rings is growing. A combination of red gold and emerald, as well as with yellow gold refers to the classic.
With a large stone
A large stone is considered to be a stone weighing more than two carats. And if you consider that high-quality emerald weighing more than 5 carats is valued more than a diamond, then there is no doubt that the price availability of such rings is very limited. In addition, stones with such a weight can be found mainly in Colombia, most of them are bought by the government, the rest are divided by collections. This all explains that finding a ring with a large emerald is very difficult.
With square stone
Already mentioned about the emerald cut, created specifically for this stone. This option is a square, sometimes a rectangle, with truncated corners - octagon. The cut is performed stepwise, which allows us to focus not on the external brilliance of the stone, but on its internal color saturation. And still such a cut protects the stone itself, removing excessive tension. The option of a ring with a square emerald is perfect for both women and men. In addition, this cut option belongs to the average price category of jewelry.
Emerald perfectly combined with other precious stones. But, given that this stone is one of the most expensive, it is usually combined with precious stones. Jewelers are especially fond of emphasizing the beautiful emerald greens with diamonds. But the rings, where emeralds with sapphires, rubies, and aquamarines are put together, look just as good.

The presence of a stone of some "flaws" in the form of cracks, unevenness in coloring, a yellowish tint and inclusions can serve as a sign that the stone is natural. There are also light green translucent emeralds, they are not of very high value, but among emeralds with a light color, transparent stones are more common.
