Three Stone Emerald Ring 2.87 Ct., Platinum 950

From the moment the story of this emerald begins, it is a journey that traces earth to light, from the mineral rich soils of Zambia to the quiet bench of a master jeweler. Deep beneath the Zambian terrain, under warm sun and the patient rhythm of miners who know the land as family, crystals of beryl formed over eons, capturing the infinitesimal traces of chromium and vanadium that give emeralds their signature green. This particular stone carries that history within its color, a vivid saturation that speaks of time and place. It was selected with careful eyes and sent for C.Dunaigre certification, an affirmation of its natural origin and its remarkable transparency. At The Natural Emerald Company we listen to these origins, we honor the people and processes that bring a gem to the surface, and we begin our work with reverence for the emeralds story.

The centerpiece is a transparent, C.Dunaigre certified 2.87 carat emerald cut emerald, its dimensions 9.52 x 7.48 x 5.35 mm, its profile an elegant step of facets that reveal color with architectural clarity. The emerald cut underscores the stone’s crystalline structure, allowing the viewer to read its depth and nuance, while the clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level assures that the gem remains remarkably clean to the eye, a purity that lets the vivid green sing. Enhancement is standard, a discreet and traditional treatment that stabilizes and enriches the gem without altering its essential character. The polish is excellent, each facet smoothed and finished until the stone responds to light with a refined glow. Handled by cutters who understand both the science and the poetry of emerald, this stone was shaped to preserve weight and color, honoring the natural beauty that first formed in the Zambian earth.

Flanking the emerald are white trapezoid shaped lab grown diamonds, weighing approximately 0.70 carats in total, their clarity ranging very slightly included VS1, VS2, and their color graded E. The trapezoid cuts are a considered choice, their tapered geometry cradling the center stone and reflecting light back into the green, enhancing depth and directionality. Being lab grown, these diamonds offer exceptional optical purity and responsible provenance, a modern complement to the ancient story of the emerald. The diamonds were chosen and placed with exacting care, each fitted into a precision milled setting, aligned so that their balance and symmetry elevate the centerpiece without overpowering it. The platinum 950 setting encases this trio, its cool white embrace amplifying the emerald’s hue while providing resilience for daily wear. The platinums weight and density create a reassuring presence on the finger, a subtle declaration of permanence that pairs naturally with the enduring tale of the gemstones.

Every step from rough selection to final polish was executed by artisans who practice a lineage of skills, and the ring is the result of that cumulative expertise. The setting was designed with the hand and eye of craftsmen who consider how the stone will sit, how light will enter and exit, how the wearer will interact with it in motion and stillness. Prongs were refined until they secured the emerald with minimal intrusion, allowing maximum light, and the trapezoid diamonds were set so that their seams meet as if they had always belonged to the center stone. The Natural Emerald Company places emphasis on expert craftsmanship that enhances rather than overshadows nature, and this ring embodies that philosophy. It is a conversation between earth and maker, a composition where each detail, from the choice of platinum 950 to the selection of trapezoid diamonds and the exacting polish, contributes to a cohesive whole that honors the gem’s origin and amplifies its beauty. When you wear it you carry a portion of earths deep patience and the measured skill of hands that transformed raw green into an object of lasting grace.
