The particularly pretty and well made gold basketwork setting of this ring belies the synthetic stone which makes it an affordable present.  It is also a bit more durable than a real emerald.
If you should be looking for the real thing, we do have an excellent and reliable source of high quality raw and cut emeralds in India (see video and image). You can use us or we can put you directly in touch with them and use us as needed for help with logistics.
