Your helped needed on emeralds....

Hey, Bagluvluv! That bracelet sounds amazing. I've always loved emeralds, but I've never owned any. And I sure didn't realize how delicate they are until I read all the advice you've been given here. I hope you get it so we can see pics of it. You already have some of the most amazing jewelry I've seen. Good luck with it!

Hi - I'm a collector of jewellery I love Emeralds but as has been said above it can easily crack - especially if you get it near hot water. It's not a gem to wear everyday unless you treat it with respect. The setting of your bracelet sounds like bezel set which WILL give some protection. If it's made your arm come alive then that's the best reason I've ever heard to buy it. If you love it then buy it! Here's a picture of one of my Emerald rings. It's very unusual because it's 1.5ct with only one tiny inclusion! My main collection though is Tanzanite, Alexandrite, Paraiba Tourmaline and Diamonds!

Wow.............what a ring! Gorgeous!!!

I bought mine around 7 years ago or so - custom made from a jeweler I found online in CA. They actually had a cushion cut tanz ring up on ebay I was in love with but was too big for me (was like 5 carats & I have small fingers) so I had them size down for me to around 3.5 - it cost WAY less than that T & Co pendant - and it's in platinum w/diamonds with a much bigger stone. I can't find them anymore - I looked a few yrs ago & couldn't find them again - they used to have an online website. But definitely shop around - that pendant is WAY overpriced - but of course it's Tiffany! Tanzanite is my all time favorite gemstone.

I bet it's gorgeous! I'm glad you got it when you did.

Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!! That color is very nice!!!!!

As Im doing more research, inclusions in emeralds seems prettty much the norm and to have your ct weight with just one inclusion is really special.

Thanks for sharing!!!!! You ladies are totally making my decision that much more fun and interesting.
