Before you choose
Long fingers carry tall settings; working hands want a bezel or a low prong. If you wear gloves or type all day, height is the first decision, not the last.
A ring worn daily needs 8 or harder on the Mohs scale: sapphire, spinel, diamond. Softer stones like opal and emerald are occasion stones, or need protective settings.
Fingers run a half size larger by evening and in summer. We size to your afternoon measurement and resize free within two sizes.
A well-cut smaller stone reads larger and livelier than a lazy big one. This is where our money goes, and where yours should.
The short answer
Emerald solitaire rings at Made With Color: one one of a kind work at $14,300, each built around a stone chosen loose, in daylight, in New York. Beryl with chromium in its bones, the green all others are measured against. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words. One stone, held up where it can be examined and believed. The most honest setting there is.
Beryl with chromium in its bones, the green all others are measured against. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
Prong count is the taste decision: four shows more stone, six holds it safer.
Emerald is 7.5 / 10 on the Mohs scale. For daily rings, choose a bezel or low prongs; for earrings and pendants, wear it freely.
Measure a ring you already own at the end of the day, when fingers run largest.
Decide setting height first. Hands that type, garden, or lift want the stone low.
A solitaire bets everything on the stone and wins if the stone deserves it. A halo spreads the light wider. If the stone was chosen well, the solitaire is the braver and better buy.
Emerald is 7.5 / 10 on the Mohs scale. A ring takes more knocks than any other jewel. Below 8 on the Mohs scale, choose a bezel or a low setting.
Emerald is the May birthstone and the traditional stone of the 20th & 35th anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
High solitaires catch on knits and gloves. Hands that work want the low version; the stone loses nothing.
Today, one work at $14,300. Each is one of a kind, so the page moves as stones sell and new ones are set.
