Three Stone Emerald Ring 2.44 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent 2.44 carat cushion shape green emerald, measuring 10.08 by 7.95 by 5.11 millimeters, cut with a mixed brilliant facet arrangement to balance scintillation and the gemetic depth that produces the stone's vivid color saturation. The emerald is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a common and accepted clarity category for fine emeralds, where natural inclusions are visible to a trained observer but do not significantly detract from the gem's overall brilliance or structural integrity. The excellent polish on the pavilion and crown facets enhances light return and makes the vivid green hue appear more saturated and even across the surface. The enhancement is standard, reflecting the traditional and widely accepted practice of clarity enhancement in emeralds to improve transparency while preserving the original material, a practice that is disclosed and stable under normal wear and professional cleaning. For an educated buyer, the combination of a generous 2.44 carat weight, substantial millimeter dimensions, mixed brilliant cutting, clear evaluation of inclusions, and an excellent polish creates a strong balance between aesthetic impact and gemological integrity.

Complementing the central emerald are natural white half moon shaped diamonds with a combined approximate weight of 0.30 carats, set to flank the cushion center and visually widen the shoulder for elegant proportion. The side diamonds are graded Very Slightly Included, in the VS1 and VS2 range, and carry a color grade of F, offering a near colorless backdrop that emphasizes the emeralds green without introducing unwanted warmth. The precision of the diamond cutting and the narrow but bright table of each half moon help to frame the center stone with crisp white light, while the VS clarity ensures eye clean appearance in supporting roles without distracting internal features. The entire mounting is executed in 18K white gold, a durable and refined alloy that resists wear while providing a neutral, bright setting that accentuates both the diamonds and the green saturation of the emerald. The design prioritizes secure seating for the gemstones, careful bezel and shoulder work to protect the girdle, and proportional metal thickness to maintain lifetime wearability, all details that informed buyers look for when assessing long term value and everyday practicality.

The emerald originates from Zambia, a source known for producing stones with rich, saturated green tones and fine crystal structure, and this particular piece reflects that regional character in its depth and hue. At The Natural Emerald Company we place strong emphasis on ethical sourcing, and this emerald was procured through a chain of custody that prioritizes vetted suppliers and documented responsible mining practices, including partnerships with operators who adhere to local labor standards, contribute to community development, and implement environmental controls to limit ecological impact. We work with independent third party verifiers and insist on transparent documentation for origin and treatment, so that buyers can have confidence in both the gemological quality and the ethical background of their purchase. For the educated buyer, the combination of verifiable origin, disclosed standard enhancement, and measurable gemological attributes such as carat weight, exact millimeter proportions, clarity grade, cut style, and supporting diamond quality creates a clear basis for assessing intrinsic and collectible value. The Natural Emerald Company can provide further documentation, professional imagery on request, and guidance on care, which for emeralds includes gentle cleaning with mild detergent and avoiding harsh ultrasonic or steam treatments, and offers customization and resizing services to ensure the ring is a perfect and lasting expression of refined taste.
