Classy Emerald





Classy Emerald


Description This ring stone is cut in yag. If you are not familiar with yag it is the material of choice of celebrities and movie stars to reproduce there expensive jewelry. They wear the reproductions and keep the 6 figure jewelry in the safe. The jewelers I cut stones for all want a simulant of Tanzanite and Emeralds. I've put this colored yag on the counter of a jewelry friend without saying anything and the first words out of his mouth was "this sure is a pretty piece of Tanzanite". Yag is singly refractive, very bright and with high hardness and this color has the color change of Tanzanite too. It is brighter than Tanzanite but more durable and the color change from blue to violite is sweet. You can have the look of thousands for less than $100 in silver. This stone is usually set in gold but since I am just starting to sell on Etsy I decided to set this one in silver. You will not be disappointed in this piece. I like cutting natural rough but the exotic lab created material sure is pretty. A lot of cutters like myself cut clear yag for a diamond substitute. It is much better than mossanite in my opinion. CZ dominates the diamond simulant market but it is much too brittle for a ring stone. This ring is a size 7 Sterling Silver setting with a 8mm X 10mm emerald cut yag in a brilliant cut pavillion (bottom of stone) and that is what gives it so much flash. The stone is approximatly 4 carats, I forgot to weigh the gem before setting it. This ring will dazzle all your friends.
