Accent Stones Emerald Ring 2.60 Ct., 18K White & Yellow

This ring from The Natural Emerald Company centers on a transparent 2.60 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald, measuring 8.44 by 8.15 by 4.90 millimeters, and it stands apart from many market offerings through its rare combination of substance and clarity. Many emeralds at this size show heavy inclusions or muted color, whereas this Zambian gem displays vivid color saturation, an excellent polish, and a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The asscher cut maximizes the stone's depth and symmetry, delivering a lively, square facet pattern that reads more refined than standard emerald cuts, and the standard enhancement applied is consistent with trade practice to ensure lasting beauty. Complementary white round natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.16 carats in total, and graded Very Slightly Included in clarity across VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of F, provide crisp contrast and highlight the emerald without overpowering it, offering better optical balance than many pieces that use lower color or clarity accents.

What truly distinguishes this ring, beyond gem quality and design, is ethical sourcing and responsible craftsmanship, a priority at The Natural Emerald Company. The emerald originates in Zambia and is procured through our rigorous supply chain protocols that emphasize traceability, fair labor, and community investment, ensuring the stone is conflict free and sourced with respect for local environments and people. The 18K white gold and 18K yellow gold used in the setting are selected under our responsible sourcing standards, favoring recycled and responsibly mined metals when available, and every manufacturing partner is audited for environmental and labor compliance. Compared to mass market alternatives that may cut corners on origin and material transparency, this ring offers both tangible gem superiority and intangible value in ethical provenance, making it an investment in beauty and integrity. The result is a uniquely powerful statement ring, combining a museum quality Zambian asscher emerald, high quality diamond accents, and a dual tone gold setting, all presented with the confidence of The Natural Emerald Company commitment to sustainability and superior craftsmanship.
