I picked this gold ring out as my first choice for an engagement ring. Emerald is my birth stone and my favorite color has always been green. Surprise, surprise, he presented it to me December 22 and of course I said yes! The ring is absolutely beautiful. I was a little nervous because no one had reviewed it and I was so afraid it wouldn't look like the picture, but it does! The stone is only very slightly darker than in the picture, but it is still a wonderful deep green color. Not too light, not too dark. A word of advice, though. According to the sizing chart on this website, I was a 7, but it was way too big. I have gotten it resized by a jeweler once, but it is still too big. Go a 1/2 or full size smaller than you think.
Overall, a wonderful, unique and affordable choice for an engagement ring!
