Accent Stones Emerald Ring 1.54 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent emerald cut green emerald weighing 1.54 carats, with dimensions 7.97 x 5.91 x 4.47 mm. The emerald displays intense color saturation and an excellent polish, with a clarity grade described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. Originating from Zambia, the stone has received standard enhancement. The emerald cut emphasizes the gem’s depth of color through its large table and step cut facets, providing a broad plane for color to show and a series of parallel facets that reveal clarity characteristics in a controlled manner.

The setting is rendered entirely in 18K white gold, with minimal metal intrusion around the table and pavilion to maximize light passage and visual access to the stone. Corner prongs secure the emerald while preserving the open table area, allowing the gem to present its saturated green unobstructed. The raised gallery and open undercarriage are designed to admit light into the pavilion, enhancing internal reflection without masking natural inclusions. Flanking the center stone are straight baguette white diamonds totaling approximately 0.40 carats, clarity grades VS1 and VS2, color grade E, together with tapered baguette white diamonds of approximately 0.07 carats, clarity grades VS1 and VS2, color grade E. These colorless, high clarity diamonds act as neutral, reflective accents, increasing the perceived brightness of the setting and directing visual focus to the emerald, while their step cut geometry complements the emerald cut profile.

The combined effect is a refined balance between protection and presentation, where the architectural setting frames the emerald and enhances both color and apparent clarity, without overpowering the stone. The choice of 18K white gold and E color baguette diamonds ensures a cool, reflective backdrop that intensifies the emerald’s vivid green, while the careful reduction of metal around the table and the strategic placement of side stones promote both brilliance and legibility of the gem. The Natural Emerald Company offers this ring as an example of deliberate gem centric design, where lapidary quality and setting execution work together to showcase the emerald to its fullest advantage.
