Pave Emerald Ring 3.60 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

Emeralds have been treasured across civilizations for their depth of color and their association with renewal and enduring beauty, and this ring evokes that same timeless legacy. The central gem is a transparent 3.60 carat asscher octagon shaped green emerald from Zambia, set in warm 18K yellow gold to emphasize its classic character. The design nods to both antique elegance and modern refinement, with a hand finished twisted band that carries white round natural diamonds along the shoulders, creating a whisper of brilliance that complements rather than competes with the stone. This piece is representative of the thoughtful heirloom quality that collectors and connoisseurs seek, and it is offered by The Natural Emerald Company as a celebration of tradition, origin, and enduring style.

What distinguishes this ring is the exacting precision of the asscher cut and the way each facet has been proportioned to celebrate the emeralds intense color saturation and clarity. The emerald measures 8.78 by 8.59 by 6.56 millimeters and has been masterfully faceted in an asscher cut that employs tiered step facets to create a hall of mirrors effect, a precise geometry that returns deep flashes of green and controlled scintillation rather than scattered sparkle. The clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the polish is excellent, and enhancement is standard, all of which allow the cutter to balance light return and color depth with exceptional symmetry. Flanking the center stone are white round natural diamonds, approximately 0.071 carats each with clarity evaluated as VS1 and VS2 and color grade F, and additional white round diamonds at approximately 0.12 carats with clarity VS and color grades F and G, all set to exact tolerances to maximize contrast and brilliance. The result is a ring that reads as both antique and precise, where every prong, facet, and curve has been considered to honor the gem rather than overshadow it. For those who value provenance, artistry, and the quiet drama of perfectly executed faceting, this creation from The Natural Emerald Company offers a speaking testament to emeralds enduring appeal.
