An inclusion free emerald is extremely rare and extremely expensive for example a one-carat inclusion free emerald in emerald cut can cost you up to $20,000. Another helpful thing to know about emeralds before purchasing an emerald engagement ring is that they are brittle, which basically means they need to be protected when worn as if they get hit they damage will be done from within.

Couple of diamonds on the side could help you protect it considerably of a channel setting where the emerald is protected from all sides.
