Studs Emerald Earring 1.25 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, Platinum 950

From the moment light meets these stones, the sense of history is immediate and satisfying. The Natural Emerald Company presents a pair of classic round emerald stud earrings that nod to centuries of reverence for the green gem, while offering a design perfectly suited to modern life. Each emerald is part of a 1.25 total carat weight pair, cut to a mixed brilliant style that was chosen for its ability to invite light deep into the stone and return it as rich, living color. The transparency of these Zambian emeralds is exceptional, and when combined with intense color saturation and an excellent polish, each facet becomes a tiny stage where light performs. The overall proportions of the stones, at 5.78 by 5.67 by 3.55 mm, were carefully selected to balance presence and comfort, preserving a timeless round silhouette that has been treasured for generations.

The history of emeralds is long and storied, and these studs carry that legacy with a quiet confidence. Zambian emeralds are celebrated for a pure, verdant hue that reads both vibrant and deep depending on the light, and these examples are no exception. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, they retain a natural character while offering excellent transparency that enhances sparkle. The standard enhancement used on these stones preserves their integrity and beauty, a practice rooted in tradition that allows the inner color and life of the emerald to shine through. Wearing these earrings is to participate in a lineage of collectors and connoisseurs who appreciated the balance of natural formation and human refinement, a balance that makes an emerald an heirloom worth passing down.

What sets these earrings apart in both craftsmanship and effect is how they capture and reflect light from every angle. The mixed brilliant cut combines the best of pavilion and crown geometry so that light entering the gem is refracted and returned with a lively scintillation and depth of tone. Under soft candlelight the facets whisper, producing glowing flashes of green, and in daylight the stones answer with a vivid, almost liquid brilliance. The three dimensional cut and excellent polish ensure that each movement of the wearer sends new planes of color and light toward the eye, creating a dynamic play that is always elegant and never ostentatious. Set in 18K white gold, the mount acts as a luminous frame, the cool metal tone enhancing the green while reflecting ambient light back into the stones, increasing their apparent brightness and giving the earrings a poised, sophisticated presence.

These stud earrings are designed for enduring wear and effortless pairing. The classic prong setting in 18K white gold holds each emerald securely while allowing unobstructed light access to the pavilion and girdle, reinforcing the visual effects that make these gems so compelling. Whether chosen as a first major emerald purchase, a meaningful gift, or a refined addition to a collection, these studs are a testament to the enduring appeal of well sourced, expertly finished gemstones. At The Natural Emerald Company we carefully select stones that show both quality and character, and these Zambian emeralds embody that philosophy, offering a dialogue between ancient lineage and contemporary design. The result is a pair of earrings that celebrates history, demands attention through subtle brilliance, and promises to remain a cherished piece for years to come.
