Antique Style Emerald Ring 1.65 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

From the mineral veins of Zambia to the warmth of an 18K yellow gold setting, this ring traces a story of earth and hand, patience and precision. Deep within Zambian mines hydrothermal forces coaxed chromium rich beryl into life, and our gem scouts at The Natural Emerald Company found a transparent, oval shaped emerald weighing 1.65 carat. Measuring 8.95 by 7.05 by 4.69 millimeters, this stone carries a medium color saturation that sings with a fresh green, and a clarity that is very slightly included when examined at eye level, a natural fingerprint that confirms its authenticity. Our master cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut that marries the luster of brilliant facets with the classic oval silhouette, and an excellent polish reveals each facet as a mirror that returns light with vivid intensity. Surrounding the center, white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.72 carats are graded Very Slightly Included VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of F, and they form a luminous halo that amplifies the emeralds green by reflecting brilliant white fire back into the center stone.

The journey from rough to ring is a conversation between nature and craft, and the mixed brilliant cut is the language chosen to bring this emerald to life. By combining precise brilliant facet geometry on the crown and pavilion with careful oval proportions, our cutters increase internal light movement, producing scintillation and a lively face up brightness without sacrificing the stone’s green depth. The halo of F color diamonds is placed to capture and redirect light, each round gem enhancing the center’s glow and adding rim lighting that makes the green appear more vivid in motion. Set in 18K yellow gold, the metal’s warm undertone complements the emeralds hue, while the crown prongs and open gallery allow maximum light to enter and exit the stone. Every cast, setting, and polish is completed under the standards of The Natural Emerald Company, ensuring responsible sourcing and meticulous finishing. Wear this ring and feel the layered history of its origin, the meticulous choices that maximize brilliance, and the human hands that transformed a Zambian crystal into a jewel that flashes green like new leaves in sunlight.
