Three Stone Emerald Ring 0.61 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a finely cut, certified Colombian emerald weighing 0.61 carat, cut in the classic emerald shape, with exact dimensions of 5.96 by 4.75 by 3.21 millimeters. The proportions were selected to balance color saturation and light return, resulting in a depth ratio of approximately 60 percent which is ideal for step cut geometry. The cutter has emphasized broad, clean step facets, a well defined table, and crisp truncated corners, all of which contribute to a vivid, even green face up. Because emeralds are prized primarily for color, the precision of the faceting here is essential, and the result is a strongly saturated green that reads consistent across the table, with minimal windowing or dark areas. The stone has an excellent polish which amplifies surface brilliance, and its clarity is graded Very Slightly Included as evaluated at eye level, meaning that natural inclusions are present but restrained, and they do not detract from the gem’s intense color or overall visual appeal.

The faceting of an emerald cut is fundamentally different from brilliant cuts, and that difference is showcased in this piece. Step facets create a hall of mirrors effect, offering broad flashes of color and layered reflections rather than scintillation. To achieve an even, saturated appearance in a vibrant Colombian emerald, the cutter must execute long, parallel facet planes with tight symmetry and precise plane termination. Slight deviations in facet alignment or pavilion depth can produce windows or dark corners which dilute color. In this example the facets are meticulously aligned, crown angles are controlled to present the color to its fullest, and the pavilion depth supports a lively face up tone. The excellent polish ensures that facet junctions remain clean under magnification, which is particularly important to educated buyers who value both gemological integrity and visual performance.

Complementing the central emerald are two tapered white baguette diamonds, set as shoulder stones, with a combined approximate weight of 0.07 carat. These diamonds are natural, with color grade E and clarity grades Very Slightly Included, designated VS1 and VS2 on the grading scale. Baguette cuts are ideal companions for an emerald cut center because their step facet architecture mirrors the center stone, creating visual harmony and a refined, architectural profile. The high color grade of the diamonds ensures a crisp contrast against the lively green of the emerald, while the VS clarity grades guarantee clean appearance to the eye, particularly important in narrow faceted shapes where internal features can be more visible. The tapering of the baguettes was planned to draw the eye toward the center, enhancing perceived size and elongation without competing for attention.

The entire composition is mounted in 18K white gold, finished to a high polish that reinforces the cool, contemporary presentation of the assembly. The setting is designed with secure prongs that expose sufficient pavilion and girdle to allow optimal light interaction, while the baguette mounts are calibrated to maintain symmetry and secure fit. The piece bears the hallmark craftsmanship and sourcing transparency associated with The Natural Emerald Company, combining a Colombian origin emerald with standard enhancement practices that are consistent with industry norms for clarity stabilization. For the discerning buyer, this ring offers a compelling combination of pedigree, measured proportions, and exacting faceting. It is a study in how precise cutting and complementary side stones elevate a vivid Colombian emerald into a wearable jewel that communicates provenance, technical skill, and enduring value.
