Men's Emerald Ring 1.83 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

The men's ring features a beautiful, transparent 1.83 carat Asscher - octagon shape green emerald with the dimensions of 7.47 x 7.37 x 5.31 mm and an Asscher cut. The emerald's clarity grade is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means it has minute inclusions that are difficult to detect even under 10x magnification. Its vivid color saturation gives it a deep, intense green hue that is highly sought after by gemstone enthusiasts. Additionally, the gem boasts an excellent polish, contributing to its brilliance and enhancing its overall visual appeal. This emerald originates from Zambia, a region renowned for producing some of the world's finest emeralds. Zambian emeralds are highly prized for their rich color and relatively high clarity.
In the world of high-end emeralds, such as those found in more famous rings like the ones owned by royalty and celebrities, Zambian emeralds have earned a reputation for rivaling those from Colombia. While Colombian emeralds are traditionally considered the gold standard for emerald gemstone quality due to their lush green hue and historical prestige, Zambian emeralds have carved a niche for themselves by offering a combination of comparable transparency and often richer, slightly bluish-green color. Therefore, an educated buyer would find the appeal and value in this Zambian emerald both in terms of quality and the prestige associated with Zambian origins.
The ring itself is entirely set in 18K yellow gold, providing a warm, luxurious backdrop that enhances the vivid green of the emerald. The 18K gold indicates a higher percentage of gold content, which not only adds to its value but also ensures better durability when compared to lower karat gold alloys. This careful selection of materials and high-quality craftsmanship makes the ring not just a piece of jewelry but a significant investment and symbol of discerning taste.
