Accent Stones Emerald Earring 8.06 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 18K Yellow & White

This pair of earrings from The Natural Emerald Company centers on a matching duo of transparent Zambian emeralds totaling 8.06 carats, each fashioned in an asscher octagonal profile and precisely cut to 9.83 by 9.52 by 6.17 millimeters. The asscher cut employs concentric, step facets and cropped corners to produce a hall of mirrors effect, a facet architecture that demands strict pavilion depth and symmetry to maximize light return while preserving the stone’s saturated green. These stones exhibit vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, and they are graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that ensures the step cut presents clean planes to the eye while retaining natural character. Complementing the emeralds are white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.44 carats, selected in F color with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 to provide strong contrast and scintillation above the emeralds. The mounting uses a two tone approach, 18 karat yellow gold forming the emerald baskets to enhance the green body color, and 18 karat white gold for the diamond posts and upper fittings to maximize perceived white light return from the diamonds, a combination executed with hand finished prongs and precision soldering to maintain physical security and optical harmony.

Customization is available to align the design with the wearer’s aesthetic and technical requirements. Options include altering the prong architecture from classic four prongs to V prongs or knife prongs for a more open girdle presentation, adding a slender pavé halo of melee diamonds around each asscher to increase apparent face up size and create a transition from step cut luster to brilliant scintillation, or switching the emerald setting to a partial or full bezel for enhanced protection and a more modern silhouette. Metal choices may be adjusted to all white gold, all yellow gold, or 18 karat rose gold, with the option to reverse the two tone placement to white metal baskets and yellow metal posts based on color balance preferences. Technical upgrades are offered for the diamonds, including higher color and clarity ranges or graduated diamond drops, and functional customizations include choice of screw back, friction clutch, or omega back, removable drop fittings to convert studs into pendants, and bespoke length adjustments. Each commissioned variation is evaluated by our gemologists and hand finished by our jewelers, with imagery, detailed grading commentary, and setting prototypes provided upon request, ensuring the final piece reflects the wearer’s taste and the exacting standards of The Natural Emerald Company.
