Estate Emerald Rings

Known as the May birthstone, Emeralds have graced Crown Jewels and embellished the thrones of some of the oldest dynasties in history. Our Estate Emerald Rings are mounted with quality Emeralds, the epitome of wealth and power and carat for carat, the most expensive gemstones in the world, some of which are considered to be more precious than diamonds. However, there is a roaring black market Emerald trade due to the incidence of smuggling. According to the National Geographic, ?Most emeralds move off the record, untaxed, unseen, buried in a world market that the trade calls black. Almost every high quality emerald is smuggled at some time in its history.
