The Four Main Precious Stones: Diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds are four of the most valuable and sought-after gemstones in the world.
Real emeralds are expensive, it is in line with diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald, so you see = $$$ :) Can't escape it.
Big and pretty? And for a few hundreds. It will not be an emerald.
Maybe try some fake stones(cubic zirconia) or jade? And, as you know, there are other much cheaper green coloured stones; you picked one of four most expensive stones.
It can be 100% fake... that's not a problem, this is more for decoration, and not as a gift to a female or anything... I just like that bright dark emeralds green
