Three Stone Emerald Ring 0.99 Ct., 18K White Gold

From the fertile highlands of Colombia to the patient hands of master cutters, this ring begins its story deep within the earth, where the pressures and chemistry of nature conspired to create a jewel of rare character. The heart of the design is a C.Dunaigre certified 0.99 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald, a gem that first took form in veins of metamorphic rock and slowly gathered its vivid color over geological time. Miners who know the stories of those Colombian deposits can tell you that each crystal carries a trace of the rainforest sky and the mineral-rich soils through which it grew, a small archive of place and process in every facet. When we at The Natural Emerald Company selected this particular stone, we chose it not only for its brilliant hue and exceptional transparency, but also for the quiet narrative it carries, a lineage that links the wearer to a specific landscape and to the generations who have worked that land.

The journey from rough crystal to the precise geometry of an asscher cut is a careful conversation between nature and craft. This emerald measures 6.42 x 6.34 x 3.97 mm, and the asscher cut was chosen to honor the stone's internal architecture, to create stepped facets that draw the eye inward and then return the gaze in a steady, measured rhythm. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is described as very slightly included, a testament to the stone's natural origin and to the cutter's restraint in preserving weight while revealing brilliance. The vivid color saturation and excellent polish allow the green to glow with depth, like a clear forest pool catching sunlight. Enhancement has been carried out to standard practice for emeralds, done with transparency and permanence in mind, and the C.Dunaigre certification is included to confirm origin, treatment, and authenticity, a formal record that completes the path from Colombian mine to bespoke setting.

Surrounding the emerald are carefully selected natural white diamonds that serve both as companions and as visual punctuation to the central green. Two half moon shaped diamonds, together weighing approximately 0.30 carats, sit like crescent guardians beside the asscher, their Very Slightly Included grades, noted as VS1 and VS2, and their E color grade ensuring a bright and icy contrast. Complementing these sculptural side stones are white round shaped diamonds set along the band, each group weighing approximately 0.33 carats, with clarity graded as VS and color graded in the F and G range, chosen to achieve a harmonious balance of fire and sparkle without competing with the emeralds green and depth. The arrangement of these diamonds is more than decorative, it is a narrative device, a chorus that elevates the central voice of the emerald, highlighting its hue and echoing the promise of continuity and light.

The setting is executed in 18K white gold, a metal chosen for its luminous coolness and enduring strength. The band is designed to cradle the center stone with precision, while the pavé and channel work for the round diamonds create a shimmering pathway that suggests years of shared light along a single road. The half moon stones are cut to nestle naturally against the asscher, creating a classical profile that reads as both timeless and contemporary. Every detail, from the prong geometry that secures the emerald to the finish that invites the fingertips, has been considered so that the piece can bear the daily rituals of life and the special moments that punctuate it. The workmanship tells of hours at the bench, of hands that have honed edges and set stones with both technical skill and an eye for proportion, a human labor that transforms rough material into an object meant to endure.

Worn at the ring finger, this piece becomes a personal emblem of lifelong commitment, a tangible promise anchored in earth and elevated by craftsmanship. The emeralds green is a color long associated with renewal, growth, and fidelity, and the asscher shape with its concentric steps speaks to a relationship built on layered trust and deliberate progress. The diamonds that flank and pave the band stand for the bright points of shared experience, those moments that catch the light and are remembered. The 18K white gold frame reassures with its permanence, while the C.Dunaigre certification reassures with verifiable provenance. From first glance to daily wear, from the Colombian seam to The Natural Emerald Companys signature, this ring is intended to be more than ornament, it is a companion for life, a witness to vows, celebrations, and quiet days alike, designed to age gracefully as both an heirloom and a living symbol of enduring love.
