Pave Emerald Ring 2.14 Ct., 18K Yellow & White

This ring centers on a transparent 2.14 carat emerald, cut in the classic emerald shape with step facets and defined pavilion planes. The stone measures 7.94 by 6.90 by 5.78 millimeters, presenting a balanced profile that emphasizes the rectangular outline and open table of the cut. The hue is a bluish green with medium color saturation, a tonal range that reads as fresh and slightly cool under neutral light. Clarity is graded as included when evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with natural emeralds and visible as internal gardens that contribute to the gem’s character rather than detract from its overall appearance. The polish is assessed as excellent, allowing crisp facet junctions and good light return for a step-cut stone. Enhancement is standard, reflecting the trade practice of using oils or similar treatments to improve stability and apparent clarity. The documented origin is Russia, a source known for producing emeralds with cooler, bluish tones and relatively fine crystallinity.

When compared to gemstones used in more famous rings, this Russian emerald occupies a distinct position. Many well-known high-profile emeralds are celebrated for either intensely saturated Colombian green or for museum-quality stones that are exceptionally eye-clean and deeply saturated. By contrast, the present stone offers a transparent, bluish green that emphasizes clarity and a crystalline appearance more than intense chroma. In practical terms, the medium saturation and visible internal features provide a different aesthetic than the vivid, deep greens often associated with the most famous historic pieces. The included clarity grade means that under direct inspection some natural characteristics are apparent at eye level, whereas some marquee jewels may feature higher apparent clarity due to exceptional rough, selective cutting, or more extensive enhancement. The excellent polish and careful emerald cut here, however, enhance the gem’s liveliness and allow its bluish undertone to translate cleanly to the eye, giving it a level of presence and refinement that recalls the clarity-driven appeal of certain high-end designer stones rather than the purely chroma-driven appeal of the highest saturation examples.

The supporting diamonds and the setting articulate the ring’s overall design and functional protection for the center stone. The accent diamonds total approximately 0.21 carats, are round shaped, and are graded VS for clarity with a color of F/G. Their near-colorless tone and eye-clean clarity provide a bright, neutral scintillation that contrasts with the emerald’s green tones without competing for attention. The metalwork is executed in both 18K yellow gold and 18K white gold. The emerald is seated within a yellow gold bezel that frames the pavilion and guards the girdle and corners, a practical and historically proven approach to protecting step-cut corners from knocks and chips. The band and diamond settings are rendered in 18K white gold, which offers a cooler platform that accentuates the diamonds’ brilliance and the emerald’s bluish nuance. The mixed-metal approach balances aesthetic contrast with structural security, and the bezel construction together with precise prong and channel work for the diamonds reflects a considered attention to longevity and daily wearability.

Presented by The Natural Emerald Company, this ring exemplifies a clear and measured example of Russian emerald material placed within a protective and complementary setting. The combination of a 2.14 carat emerald with medium saturation and included clarity, excellent polish, standard enhancement, and provenance from Russia should be understood in the context of the broader market where emeralds vary widely by origin, saturation, and clarity. For those seeking a transparent, crystalline green with a cool undertone and visible natural character, this piece offers a refined alternative to the deeper saturated, eye-clean stones often spotlighted in more famous rings. The supporting VS, F/G diamonds and the dual 18K gold construction contribute to a coherent design that emphasizes the stone’s natural attributes and ensures practical durability for regular wear.
