Pave Emerald Ring 2.09 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.09 carat pear shaped bluish green emerald, the dimensions 10.73 x 7.27 x 5.31 mm deliver a length to width ratio of approximately 1.48, a proportion that produces a classic pear outline with balanced termination and symmetrical lobes. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, the cutting geometry combining a brilliant style crown with pavilion facets tuned to enhance return of light while preserving the depth of color characteristic of Russian emeralds. At eye level the clarity is graded included, the internal characteristics typical of natural emerald material can be discerned to the unaided eye, and these inclusions interact with light to create a lively pattern of internal flashes, a characteristic collectors often prize for natural Russian stones. The color is described as bluish green with medium saturation, this grade conveys a vivid face up appearance without the intense saturation seen in high grade Colombian stones, and in this instance the hue sits in a range that reads bright and green on the finger, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and strong scintillation across the table and crown.

The mounting integrates approximately 0.66 carats of white round natural diamonds, each selected for a balance of performance and purity, the diamonds are graded clarity VS and color F and G, a near colorless grade chosen to complement the warm tone of 18K yellow gold while supporting the emeralds face up color without introducing unwanted warmth or contrast. These diamonds are pave set along the upper half of the shank in matched sizes, the setting work employs precise bead and micro prong techniques to minimize metal visibility and to maximize surface scintillation, the continuity of light across the diamonds accentuates the emerald when viewed from multiple angles. The primary emerald is secured in a classic prong basket that elevates the stone above the shank to allow light access to the pavilion, the gallery is deliberately open to permit inspection of the pavilion and the nature of the inclusions, and the prongs are formed with reinforced shoulders to protect the pointed apex of the pear while maintaining a slender visual profile. The entire fabrication is executed in 18K yellow gold, the choice of alloy here is deliberate, the warm gold temperature enhances the blue green axis of the emerald while providing a durable mounting suitable for daily wear.

From a stylistic and historical perspective the setting reads as a contemporary reinterpretation of several well known historical approaches to high center stones, the elevated prong basket and pavé shank echo the 19th century solitaire practice where large gemstones were raised to maximize light exposure, a technique frequently observed in fine Victorian jewels where prong visibility was used to dramatize the stone. At the same time the restrained, open gallery and the emphasis on symmetry are reminiscent of early 20th century Belle Epoque sensibilities, where jewellers paired prominent center stones with delicate diamond pavings to create contrast between a dominant color gemstone and a scintillating surround. The use of warm yellow gold to frame a saturated green stone calls to mind the imperial Russian aesthetic, historically noted for combining vivid colored gemstones with gilt settings to produce intense chromatic contrast, in this ring the provenance of the emerald from Russia harmonizes with that tradition without resorting to heavy ornamentation. The result is a modern technical execution that borrows compositional cues from these historical pieces, while prioritizing contemporary standards of cut optimization, clarity assessment, and secure, minimally intrusive setting work.

As presented by The Natural Emerald Company this ring is aimed at buyers who value technical clarity in gem description, and who appreciate the interplay between cutting strategy, material origin, and mounting technique. The mixed brilliant cut, measured proportions, clarity grade included at eye level, medium color saturation, standard enhancement status and excellent polish are provided so that a technically minded purchaser can understand optical performance and conservation expectations. The matched round brilliants, their combined weight approximately 0.66 carats, VS clarity and F G color grade were selected to provide an elegant frame to the pear shape, and the 18K yellow gold pavilion and shank craftsmanship offers a durable, historically informed setting that elevates the central emerald while protecting its pointed apex. For clients seeking a ring that balances historical reference with modern lapidary precision, this piece by The Natural Emerald Company offers a carefully considered synthesis of proportion, cut and construction.
