Pave Emerald Ring 4.56 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a remarkable, transparent 4.56 carat cushion shape green emerald, with dimensions 10.65 by 9.95 by 6.78 millimeters, and a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes return of light while preserving the gem proportions. The stone has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minimal visible inclusions that retain excellent transparency and presence, and it displays vivid color saturation with an excellent polish. The enhancement is standard, which in emeralds typically refers to clarity enhancing oiling, a widely accepted and fully disclosed treatment that stabilizes and improves apparent clarity without misleading the buyer. Origin is Zambia, a source known for producing intensely colored stones with excellent saturation and crystal structure, characteristics that contribute to both aesthetic appeal and long term value for educated collectors and connoisseurs. The combination of substantial carat weight, cushion shape proportions, and mixed brilliant faceting produces strong color depth and lively brilliance, characteristics that are prized in fine emeralds and that perform well under both daylight and curated lighting.

The mounting and accent diamonds complement the center stone with technical refinement and secure craftsmanship. White round natural diamonds are featured on the shoulders, totaling two groups, one weighing approximately 0.162 carats with clarity VS and color grade F and G, and the other weighing approximately 0.24 carats with clarity VS and color grade F and G, providing bright, near colorless contrast that enhances the emerald green. The entire ring is set in platinum 950, chosen for its strength and resistance to wear, which anchors the stones securely while preserving the cool white backdrop that emeralds favor. The execution of the setting and pavé work demonstrates the same attention to symmetry, stone positioning, and finishing that discerning buyers expect from leading houses, rivaling the meticulous hand finishing of top luxury brands such as Cartier and Harry Winston, with equally rigorous standards for diamond selection and metal finishing. At The Natural Emerald Company we document origin, treatment, and grading to ensure transparency, and this ring represents a harmonious balance of gemological quality, thoughtful design, and atelier level finishing, making it a compelling acquisition for an educated buyer seeking both beauty and integrity.
