Solitaire Emerald Ring 1.43 Ct., Silver

This ring centers on a transparent, 1.43 carat Zambian emerald, presented in a round outline executed with a modified emerald cut, conserving the step faceting logic to emphasize color depth while employing radial pavilion facets to maximize return. The stone measures 7.45 by 7.48 by 4.65 millimeters, yielding an approximate depth ratio of 62, a proportion that concentrates light within the body of the gem to intensify the green saturation without sacrificing brilliance. Clarity is graded included at eye level, revealing natural internal characteristics typical of Zambian material, and the stone exhibits intense color saturation with an even face tone and minimal windowing. The polishing is graded excellent, the facet junctions are sharp and precise, and the symmetry of the modified emerald faceting demonstrates careful lapidary control to balance light performance with color retention.

The mounting is fully executed in sterling silver, designed as a low profile four prong setting with a gently rising cathedral gallery to both secure the gem and allow abundant light entry to the pavilion. Prong tips are neatly rounded and aligned to the girdle thickness, minimizing metal coverage across the table to maximize perceived color and size. The band tapers subtly toward the shoulders, the inner shank is smoothly finished for wear comfort, and the gallery includes an open undercut that improves light circulation and facilitates cleaning. Craftsmanship notes include hand finishing of prong heads, micro alignment of prong spacing to the 7.45 millimeter diameter, and a high polish on all visible surfaces to complement the emeralds intense hue.

Sourcing for this piece follows ethical mining and supply chain practices, the gemstone originates from Zambia, and The Natural Emerald Company works directly with mines and accredited local partners to ensure traceability, fair labor conditions, and community reinvestment.

For collectors and technically minded buyers seeking a natural Zambian emerald with engineered faceting, measured proportions, and responsible provenance, this ring combines deliberate lapidary technique and conscientious sourcing into a wearable, technically refined jewel.
