Halo Emerald Ring 4.49 Ct., Silver

This cushion shape emerald presents a precise synthesis of weight, proportion, and faceting, weighing 4.49 carats with dimensions 11.84 by 9.29 by 6.34 millimeters, yielding a depth ratio of approximately 53.5 percent. The stone is C.Dunaigre certified and originates from Zambia, exhibiting vivid color saturation and an excellent polish that maximizes face up brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut merging cushion outline with brilliant style crown and modified pavilion facets optimizes scintillation while preserving the deep, saturated green characteristic of Zambian material. Clarity is evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, with internal garden features that remain minimal in the face up view and contribute to the stone's natural character without interrupting light transmission. The cut proportions create balanced light return and color zoning control, and the polished facet junctions indicate careful lapidary execution to enhance both brilliance and the emeralds inherent chroma.

The mounting is engineered to complement and protect the gem while enhancing optical performance, set entirely in silver and arranged in an elevated halo configuration that allows unobstructed light to enter the pavilion and reinforce the emeralds vivid tone. The ring features white round natural diamonds in two calibrated groups, approximately 1.32 carats and 0.60 carats respectively, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of E, producing high contrast brilliance around the center stone. Diamond placement is executed with precise spacing and consistent symmetry to form a halo that amplifies apparent size and color contrast, the prong work is finely finished to secure each stone with minimal metal obstruction, and internal gallery architecture provides structural stability and light circulation. This piece exemplifies The Natural Emerald Companys commitment to technical excellence, combining expert gem selection, meticulous cutting, and disciplined setting techniques to present a transparent Zambian emerald in a design that both protects the stone and accentuates its natural beauty.
