The bad news is that the emerald that Nicki wanted as her centerstone on the engagement ring broke today.
The good news is that it was fully insured.

You can break precious stones? This marriage stuff is trickier than I thought.
Posted by: Kristin | Monday, February 28, 2005 at 10:41 PM
Yeah, she was pretty specific about what she wanted. And that wasn't it.
Yes Kristin, my first thought was, "You can break an emerald?" Who knew?

Sarah,
Sorry, but I did not want a Diamond as my center stone. I got exactly what I wanted, a beautiful marquise cute EMERALD! I still have diamonds as the baggetts that surround the emerald.
Kristin,
Yes, emeralds can be broken. An emerald is not as hard as a diamond. Different stones have different hardnesses. If you are wearing a stone that is not a diamond, you have to be more cautious about hitting them, they scratch and break easily. Synthetic stones are usually harder than the natural version.
I have learned a great deal about different stones lately.
Take care,
elf108 aka Nicki
