Solitaire Emerald Ring 1.93 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring from The Natural Emerald Company features a C.Dunaigre certified 1.93 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald, with dimensions 8.46 by 7.50 by 4.95 mm, and an asscher cut. The stone presents vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, with a clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and enhancement recorded as standard. Originating from Colombia, this emerald carries the hallmark qualities that educated buyers seek, namely a deep, saturated hue and a clean eye appeal that together drive long term collectibility and aesthetic value. The asscher cut, executed with precise facet geometry and an excellent polish, showcases the stone in a neat square outline with crisp step facets, while the platinum 950 mounting provides a secure and complementary setting that preserves color integrity and resists wear, making it suitable for daily wear as well as special occasions.

When comparing light performance, the asscher cut behaves differently to popular brilliant cuts, and this distinction is particularly important with emeralds where color is the primary value factor. Unlike a round brilliant or a princess cut that disperse light into abundant scintillation and fire, the asscher is a step cut that produces broad flashes and a hall of mirrors effect, emphasizing depth of color and facet contrast rather than continuous sparkle. Compared to an emerald cut, the asscher tends to be square and often has a higher crown and shorter pavilion that enhance face up color and create more defined internal reflections. The result in this 1.93 carat Colombian specimen is excellent light return with crisp facet separation, minimal windowing, and a concentrated green that reads vividly at arm length. For informed buyers who prioritize saturated color, clarity at eye level, and classic architectural faceting, this asscher emerald in a platinum 950 ring is an outstanding choice, offering both collectible qualities and a refined visual performance that differs meaningfully from brighter, more scintillating brilliant styles.
