Vedic Emerald Ring 0.87 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring is centered by a GIA certified 0.87 carat emerald cut Nigerian emerald, precisely measured at 6.70 x 5.17 x 3.28 mm, presenting the classic step cut faceting that defines an emerald cut. The faceting plan emphasizes broad, parallel crown and pavilion steps and a generous table, producing a calm, velvety light return rather than scintillation typical of brilliant cuts. The stone is transparent with a clarity grade evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, and those internal characteristics are confined and stable within the step facets, contributing to depth without compromising visual integrity. Color is described as medium light saturation, a true emerald green that reads lively against warm yellow gold, and the polish is graded excellent, indicating finely smoothed facet junctions and crisp facet planes. There is no enhancement reported, which, combined with the Nigerian origin and GIA documentation, confirms natural formation and market provenance, an important consideration for connoisseurs who prioritize untreated gems.

The mounting is executed in solid 18K yellow gold, chosen to complement and visually saturate the stone while providing long term durability. The setting employs a precision bezel with an open under gallery, permitting controlled light access to the pavilion and improving perceived brilliance, while securing the rectangular step cut in a protective collar that minimizes exposure to wear. The shank is fully polished and gently rounded, finished with a smooth interior surface to ensure comfortable daily wear, and the low profile bezel reduces snag risk while maintaining a stable seat for the gem. Hand finishing is evident in the seamless bezel walls and the consistent polish across the band, reflecting careful bench work and attention to tolerances critical for a gem of this geometry. The overall design balances technical gemology and practical metallurgy, offering a secure, elegant presentation of the emerald that is suitable for everyday use and collections alike. For clients seeking verifiable natural material and meticulous craftsmanship, The Natural Emerald Company provides the GIA report and a precision crafted mounting that highlights the stone, preserves its integrity, and prioritizes wearer comfort.
