Unique Emerald Wedding Bands Story
At GIOIA Fine Jewellery, we believe in crafting wedding bands that are as unique as the couples who wear them. A perfect example of this is the story of Sam and Phylicia, a couple who celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with custom emerald wedding bands.
For this special occasion, they chose emerald — Phylicia’s birthstone — to symbolise their enduring love. The emerald was set in 18k champagne gold, a choice that complemented the emerald’s vibrant green hue. The ladies band featured a round-cut emerald surrounded by pave diamonds, adding a touch of sparkle to the timeless elegance of the design.
The result was a pair of custom anniversary bands that captured the beauty of their relationship and the rich symbolism of the emerald. It’s a perfect example of how emerald wedding bands can be both personal and elegant, combining modern style with classic beauty.

Choosing the Right Gold Colour
The gold metal you choose for your emerald wedding bands can significantly affect its appearance. At GIOIA Fine Jewellery, we offer a variety of metals that pair beautifully with emeralds. Here’s a quick guide to your options:
- Yellow Gold: A classic choice, yellow gold complements the green of the emerald and offers a warm, traditional vintage look.
- Rose Gold: With its soft, romantic hue, rose gold enhances the green of the emerald and adds a warm feel to the design.
- White Gold or Platinum: These metals provide a sleek, modern contrast to the emerald’s vibrant colour, making the gemstone stand out even more.
- Champagne Gold: A subtle faint yellow shade that matches both warm and cool-coloured gemstones, and blends beautifully with rose and yellow gold, offering a unique and sophisticated touch.

With our wide selection of rare, coloured gemstones, we make the process of creating a unique wedding band a breeze, ensuring it reflects your style and love with ease.
Complementing with Other Gemstones
Emeralds can also be beautifully complemented by other gemstones. For example, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies can be used to add contrast and extra brilliance to your emerald band.
- Diamond Accents: Diamonds around the emerald or along the band will enhance its colour and brilliance, adding sparkle to the design.
- Sapphire or Ruby Pairings: The deep royal blue sapphires or the exceptional pigeon blood ruby provides a stunning contrast to the emerald’s green and creates a bold, colourful look.
These complementary gemstones can enhance the symbolism of your wedding ring or add a unique touch to your custom wedding band.
We understand that the foundation of any stunning piece starts with selecting the right gemstone. While emeralds are a durable gemstone, they naturally contain more inclusions than other stones, which can affect their overall hardness. This makes it crucial to ensure the clarity and quality of the emerald before setting it into a piece.
Emeralds may be more susceptible to scratches and chipping compared to harder gemstones like diamonds. To ensure your emerald wedding band remains beautiful for generations, here are a few tips:
- Cleaning: Gently clean your emerald band with a soft baby brush and soapy water (we recommend Mama Lemon). Avoid ultrasonic cleaners as they can damage the emerald.
- Storage: Store your ring separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches.
- Regular Check-ups: Visit us at GIOIA for annual check-ups to ensure your emerald wedding band is secure with no loose stones or prongs.
