Unfortunately, the gemstone industry has gotten over excited and has marketed emeralds to the point of unaffordability. But did you know there’s a stone out there that not only rivals an emerald’s color it can actually surpass it? That gemstone is known as chrome diopside — the “other” emerald.
The Green in Bloom Ring features ‘petals’ of chrome diopside gemstones in marquise, teardrop and round cuts, so you can see for yourself how it fares against its more marketed and higher-priced cousin. The color is clear and bright, possessing that unmistakable green glow that gives value to any stone this color.
