Antique Style Emerald Ring 2.23 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring features a transparent 2.23 carat emerald cut green emerald, measuring 8.38 x 7.07 x 5.13 mm, set in 18K yellow gold. The stone is an emerald cut shape with an excellent polish and medium color saturation, presenting a lively green hue with controlled depth and clarity. The clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the origin of the emerald is Brazil. The setting secures the stone with four prongs and an open gallery that allows light to pass through the pavilion, while the band exhibits finely engraved shoulders and detailed surface work that complement the stone without overwhelming it. The proportions and polish of the emerald permit a crisp table view and balanced light return, and the 18K yellow gold mounting provides a warm counterpoint to the green, reinforcing the classic appearance of the piece.

The design is suitable for multiple styling approaches, it can be worn alone as a refined solitaire that highlights the emerald as the primary focal point, or it can be incorporated into a stack for a layered and personalized look. When worn solo, the ring presents a clear, elegant silhouette, and when stacked, the open gallery and prong profile accommodate slim complementary bands. For stacking, consider bands in 18K yellow gold of approximately 1.5 to 2.5 mm in width for visual balance, or introduce contrast with a single band in a different metal tone for a contemporary contrast. The prong setting offers secure retention while permitting light interaction, and the slightly included clarity is consistent with natural Brazilian emerald material, requiring normal care. Routine inspection of prongs and gentle cleaning are recommended to maintain luster. This ring is presented by The Natural Emerald Company, and it is available with documentation regarding the gem characteristics upon request.
