It is said that those who celebrate big occasions in life wear green
emerald and
diamond engagement rings. If you fancy wearing such
gemstones, it is likely you adore the vibrant green color. Still, have you ever thought what the
gemstone color resembles?
Emerald, especially, has a symbolism and rich history. Past philosophers believed that wearing an
emerald would bring fortune and protection against bad outcomes. For instance, the Greek philosopher Aristotle once famously said that one who carried the
gemstone to a court trial would find a favorable ruling. Today, believers value the
gem not only for its appearance but also because it augurs well.
Some colored
diamonds, like pink and yellow, usually get the color from carbon element, but green
diamonds get the color when it is exposed to radiation during its formation in the Earth’s crust. Apart from that, the same kind of radioactive conditions can be replicated in a laboratory, so that the green color can be exerted to a lab-grown
diamond too. What’s more, both natural and lab-created
diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties, which make them virtually inseparable.
Although natural green
diamond rings may be rare to find, those featuring lab-created
diamonds can be found easily in the jewelry market. Moreover, they are relatively cheaper too.
