Three Stone Emerald Ring 2.69 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

At The Natural Emerald Company we believe that a gemstone is more than a jewel, it is a link to a long and storied human tradition, a vessel of memory that traces back to the palaces of antiquity and the courts of emperors, a symbol of enduring refinement and cultivated taste. This ring is conceived with that same reverence for history and legacy, a modern tribute to an ancient treasure. The central stone is a transparent green emerald, cut in a classical emerald shape, its stepped facets recalling the long lineage of lapidary artistry that refined the emerald from rough crystal into a work of wearable geometry. The design itself is timeless, balanced and restrained, made to read as an heirloom now, and a legacy in the making for generations to come, an object that speaks softly of continuity, permanence, and beauty preserved through time.

The heart of the ring is a 2.69 carat green emerald, with dimensions 11.93 x 6.06 x 5.04 mm, and an emerald cut that emphasizes clarity of color and elegant parallel facets. This stone shows medium color saturation, a fresh, lively green that is bright without being garish, and an excellent polish that allows light to travel cleanly through the stone, producing the serene, inner glow so prized in fine emeralds. The clarity grade is included, evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with the natural character of fine emeralds, each inclusion a fingerprint from deep geological time. The stone carries a standard enhancement, a common and accepted treatment intended to improve appearance and stability, and it is documented that this emerald originates from Russia, a source known for producing clear, crystalline material with a distinctive, cool green that complements yellow gold beautifully.

Flanking the central emerald are two white pear shaped natural diamonds, together weighing approximately 0.30 carats, with clarity grades in the Very Slightly Included range, VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F, placing them in the near colorless band that provides bright contrast and scintillation. Their pear shape introduces a soft, classic punctuation to the linear geometry of the emerald cut, creating a refined silhouette that is both feminine and strong. The entire composition is set in 18K yellow gold, a metal historically associated with warmth and endurance, and chosen here to heighten the emeralds verdant tones, while the warm glow of gold frames the diamonds and the emerald with a noble, antique air. The setting is executed to offer secure support while maintaining an understated profile, a thoughtful compromise between visibility and protection, as befits a gem meant to be both seen and lived with.

When considering daily wear, it is important to compare relative durability, and to understand how thoughtful design can help a gem hold up under real life conditions. Emerald is a variety of beryl that typically rates about 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, which places it well above many common materials, and suitable for regular wear. However, unlike diamond, which is the hardest known natural material with a Mohs hardness of 10, emeralds are commonly included, and those internal features can act as planes of vulnerability. For this reason our ring combines the inherent hardness of the emerald with a robust setting strategy that protects the stone, the emerald is set with substantial bezel and shoulder support that reduces exposure of the girdle to knocks and catches, and the pear shaped diamonds are positioned to shield the whole composition while adding light and brilliance. The 18K yellow gold band balances strength and malleability, offering a durable structure that resists everyday wear and also allows skilled repair and reworking if ever needed, which is a practical advantage for a piece intended to be passed down.

Caring for this ring will ensure it remains as brilliant as the day it was chosen, and routine, gentle maintenance will extend its life without risk to the stone or its sweetness of tone. Given the included clarity and the standard enhancement of the emerald, we recommend cleaning with a soft brush, warm water and a mild, non abrasive soap, avoiding ultrasonic and steam cleaning methods which can disturb filled fissures for some treated emeralds. Professional inspection at least once a year will confirm the condition of the setting and the integrity of the stone, and occasional light polishing of the gold can refresh the metal without altering the gems. Wearers who lead an active life will appreciate the protective aspects of the design, but will also benefit from removing the ring for heavy manual work, harsh chemicals, and impact sports. The Natural Emerald Company stands behind each piece we create, and we are pleased to offer guidance and service to help this ring become a living heirloom, a marriage of geological wonder and human craft, an object that carries history with grace, and endures through care and continuity.
