Studs Emerald Earring 1.57 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 18K Yellow Gold

This pair of stud earrings presents a matched set of emerald cut Zambian emeralds totaling 1.57 carats, each stone precisely measured at 7.05 by 5.05 by 3.42 millimeters, mounted in 18K yellow gold. The emerald cut designation denotes parallel step facets on the crown and pavilion, truncated corners, and a broad rectangular table, a faceting strategy that emphasizes tone and saturation while reducing scintillation, thereby delivering a disciplined, architectural brilliance. With medium color saturation and transparent body color, these stones exhibit a clear green hue that is consistent across the pair, and the excellent polish on each facet plane enhances surface reflectivity and edge definition. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, a classification consistent with natural emeralds, where internal characteristics are present but do not compromise structural integrity or the stone to metal fit. The cut proportions produce a balanced rectangular outline and a depth profile that supports stable setting, accurate seat alignment, and symmetrical light return, aspects verified during our lapidary inspection and final match work, as provided by The Natural Emerald Company.

The mounting is executed in 18K yellow gold, employing a four prong basket setting that secures each emerald while maintaining an open gallery to maximize light entry and parallax appreciation of the step facet planes. Precision soldering and hand finishing ensure prong symmetry, minimal metal contact, and a low profile that sits comfortably on the ear, while the basket architecture facilitates cleaning access and long term maintenance. Both the gemstones and the metal are sourced with environmental stewardship in mind, the emeralds originating from Zambian operations that participate in traceability and improved environmental and community practices, and the 18K yellow gold supplied through certified refiners or recycled inventories to minimize ecological impact. Every pair undergoes final quality control that includes gemological verification of measurements, polish grading, color matching, and secure setting torque, delivering a technically refined and ethically considered piece for collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize craft and provenance.
