Three Stone Emerald Ring 2.55 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a certified 2.55 carat emerald cut green emerald, precisely proportioned at 9.66 by 6.13 by 5.59 millimeters, set to highlight the stone geometry and internal character. The rectangular step cut, with its large table and parallel facets, creates broad planes of color and controlled light return, producing the focused, hall of mirrors effect that connoisseurs expect from a high quality emerald cut. The mounting is engineered to present the pavilion and crown planes in balanced alignment, ensuring the stone sits square and centered, while the prong placement secures the corners and opens the girdle to maximum light entry. This configuration was selected to optimize the intensity of the green saturation and to maintain proportionate finger coverage, making it visually substantial without compromising wearability.

From a gemological perspective the emerald exhibits intense color saturation, a primary attribute for collector quality emeralds, and an excellent surface polish that preserves sharp facet junctions and crisp facet planes. The clarity grade is evaluated as slightly included at eye level, consistent with natural Zambian material, where characteristic internal features contribute to the stone identity and do not materially detract from light performance. No enhancement has been applied to this emerald, indicating that the color and clarity are wholly natural, which enhances both its intrinsic value and its suitability as an heirloom piece. The step cutting emphasizes even color distribution across the table and shoulders, and the measured depth and length to width ratio are selected to maintain a robust appearance while avoiding excessive depth that would reduce face up color intensity.

Flanking the center emerald, two natural white round diamonds totaling approximately 0.30 carats provide calibrated contrast in both hue and brilliance. Each diamond is graded E for color, placing them near colorless and ensuring a cool, complementary counterpoint to the vivid green center. Clarity grades of Very Slightly Included, described as VS1 and VS2, translate to minimal internal characteristics that are difficult to detect without magnification, preserving high scintillation and clean apertures when viewed with the naked eye. The round brilliant facet architecture of the side stones was chosen specifically to introduce localized scintillation and fire, which juxtaposes against the emeralds broader flashes and enhances perceived color saturation through contrast. Precise stone matching in diameter and table proportions ensures balanced visual weight on both shoulders of the ring.

The entire composition is set in 18 karat white gold, selected for its stability and neutral backdrop that accentuates the emerald chroma and the diamonds clarity. The mounting demonstrates refined craftsmanship, with prong terminals placed to protect the emerald corners while minimizing visual obstruction, and with side stone seats cut to exact tolerances for intimate girdle engagement. The gallery and underbezel design are executed to allow light into the pavilion without compromising structural integrity, and the band exhibits a uniform cross sectional profile finished to a high polish that reflects light cleanly and resists surface wear. Our setting methods combine traditional hand setting with precision finishing techniques to achieve tight stone security, consistent prong symmetry, and smooth transition between the head and the shank. Each joint is finished to eliminate visible tool marks, and the ring is inspected for seated stone alignment and axis stability before completion.
