Solitaire Emerald Ring 3.19 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent GIA certified emerald, presented in a classic emerald cut, offering a refined combination of symmetry and step faceting. The stone weighs 3.19 carats, and measures 9.95 by 7.98 by 5.23 millimeters, dimensions that create a commanding presence while maintaining elegant proportions on the finger. The gem displays intense color saturation, and an excellent polish, qualities that accentuate its vivid green hue and internal light performance. The clarity is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the enhancement is standard, consistent with traditional treatment practices for Colombian emeralds. The origin is Colombia, a source noted for producing some of the most desirable emerald tones in the trade, and the GIA report provides independent verification of the stone attributes and origin assertions.

The mounting has been designed to present the emerald with maximum visual impact, and with meticulous attention to long term security. The stone is secured in a precise four prong setting that seats the gem deeply and consistently, ensuring the girdle is supported around the perimeter, and limiting movement under normal wear. The prong profile has been engineered to balance minimal visual obstruction with strong retention, the prongs are substantial at their bases and tapered at the heads to cradle the corners of the emerald cut without masking the faceting. The gallery structure beneath the stone provides an additional support plane, transferring any stress into the ring shank rather than into the table or crown of the gem, a detail that enhances both safety and comfort. The overall geometry reduces snag risk while preserving light return, a practical solution for a wearer who values both security and brilliance.

The entire ring is crafted in 18K yellow gold, a choice that complements the green tone of the emerald and provides durable, long lasting metal for critical mounting elements. The shank is solid and proportioned for daily wear, with shoulders that gently taper to the gallery, creating an aesthetic balance while contributing to the stability of the head. All junctions where the prongs meet the head and where the head meets the shank are reinforced using traditional soldering and finishing techniques, and every contact point is hand finished to eliminate stress concentrations. This combination of solid alloy, considered proportions, and precise fabrication yields a ring that resists deformation and maintains secure gemstone retention over time. The use of 18K yellow gold also facilitates practical maintenance and the ability to re secure prongs if ever required, without compromising the original finish or silhouette.

The Natural Emerald Company stands behind the authenticity and craftsmanship of this piece, and the presentation includes the GIA documentation accompanying the emerald for buyer confidence and provenance. For care and conservation, routine gentle inspection of the prongs is advised, and periodic professional maintenance will preserve both the secure setting and the visual character of the stone and metal. The ring is suitable as a distinctive engagement ring or a refined statement piece, offering a balance of classic design and technical security that supports peace of mind during daily wear.
