GEM BLEU Emerald Ring in 14K

Because the rich green color of emerald is the color of spring, it has long symbolized love and rebirth. As Pliny said 2,000 years ago: “nothing greens greener”. Emerald is the gemstone of Venus, the goddess of love. Legend says that the Garden of Paradise is carpeted with emerald. The first known emerald mines were in Egypt, which were worked as early as 3500BC. May’s birthstone is also the gem of the 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries. Wear emerald and every day is a fresh start.

14K white gold is the most popular white precious jewelry metal. Its pale glow is the perfect setting for cool-toned gems. Since gold is naturally golden yellow in color, to make 14K white gold, 58.5% gold is alloyed with white metals, usually silver, zinc, palladium, or nickel. These metals also improve the hardness, durability, and affordability of white gold jewelry, since pure gold scratches fairly easily. To get that bright shine, most white gold jewelry is also plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
