Antique Style Emerald Ring 1.61 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.61 carat emerald cut bluish green emerald with precise dimensions of 8.20 by 5.56 by 4.79 millimeters, a shape and proportion chosen to maximize the stone's color and clarity. The stone exhibits medium color saturation that reads as a lively bluish green in natural and gallery lighting, and the excellent polish enhances its window through which the internal characteristics are admired. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating the inclusions are typical of fine emeralds and do not detract from the gem when worn, while the level of transparency allows light to travel cleanly through the pavilion and table. The enhancement is standard, a widely accepted and traditional treatment for emeralds that stabilizes surface reaching fissures and improves overall appearance, and the origin is Russia, a source historically known for producing emeralds with clean crystalline character and refined hue profiles.

Complementing the center emerald are white round natural diamonds that have been carefully selected for both optical harmony and structural balance. The accent grouping includes smaller rounds weighing approximately 0.03 carats and a further grouping totaling approximately 0.285 carats, each graded at clarity VS and color F or G. This combination yields a total side diamond weight of approximately 0.315 carats, with VS clarity providing eye clean performance and F to G color delivering near colorless brilliance that does not compete with the emeralds green but instead frames and intensifies it. The ring is crafted entirely in 18K white gold, a metal that offers the appropriate density and color contrast to lift the green while maintaining long term wearability, and the setting shows meticulous prong and gallery work that secures the emerald while maximizing light return from both the colored center and the surrounding diamonds.

From a craftsmanship perspective, the execution you see here parallels the attention to proportion and finishing that defines the most respected houses in fine jewelry. The clean geometry of the emerald cut and the precise symmetry of the halo recall the architectural clarity often associated with classic design houses, while the tight and even milgrain, the crisp bead setting of the diamonds, and the delicate openwork under gallery reflect a level of hand finishing and quality control on par with leading luxury standards. The mounting exhibits even seatings and minimal metal show, which are hallmarks of master bench work and careful stone fitting, and the polish on the gold surfaces is mirror like and uniform across the band and shoulders. Where some high volume production can allow for variances at fine tolerances, this piece demonstrates consistent tolerances in stone siting and setting depth, delivering the secure feel and optical balance that an educated buyer would expect from top tier makers.

For the informed buyer, the combined attributes of this ring present a compelling value proposition, especially when sourced through The Natural Emerald Company where provenance and gem quality are primary considerations. A Russian origin emerald of this size and transparency with very slightly included clarity and excellent polish, set with eye clean VS diamonds in F to G color within an 18K white gold framework, represents a blend of aesthetic rarity and wearer friendly traits. Natural emeralds carry both gemological and historical significance and in a well executed setting they perform beautifully for daily wear or special occasions. We recommend routine gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water and periodic inspections of the prongs to ensure long term security, and we can provide independent laboratory reporting upon request or arrange bespoke adjustments such as resizing or alternate mounting finishes.
