Is emerald good for an engagement ring?

Though uncommon, emerald rings are a beautiful choice for an engagement ring. They come in different shades of green from yellow-green or a more blue-green stone. They are also durable and rank 7.5-8 on the hardness scale, but they do require more care than other gemstones.
