Three Stone Emerald Ring 4.73 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers a C.Dunaigre certified 4.73 carat emerald cut green emerald, a gemstone whose proportions and cutting philosophy were selected to maximize color saturation and planar light return, the dimensions are 11.04 x 8.98 x 6.46 mm and the cutting style is a classical step cut, the broad table and long step facets create a hall of mirrors effect that emphasizes internal color zoning and depth rather than scintillation alone, the stone is transparent with a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, these minor inclusions are consistent with natural origin and are positioned in a way that preserves the visual field and overall transparency, the color grading reveals vivid green saturation typical of fine Zambian material and the surface shows an excellent polish, enhancement status is standard, and the combination of these factors results in a piece that reads as both powerful and refined under varied lighting, the cutter has respected the stone geometry to maintain optimal facet junctions and symmetry, the result is a centered plane of rich green that maintains consistent intensity from crown to pavilion, the certificate from C.Dunaigre confirms the stated carat weight, dimensions, and origin, and provides the technical assurance that this emerald has been evaluated by an independent laboratory to exacting standards.

Complementing the center emerald are white trapezoid shaped lab grown diamonds with a total weight of approximately 0.70 carats, the side stones present clarity grades in the Very Slightly Included range, specifically VS1 and VS2, and an exceptional color grade of E, these trapezoids are calibrated to mirror the step geometry of the emerald, their pavilion and crown facet arrangements are tuned to provide a clean, bright contrast without drawing color into the side fields, the neutral E color grade ensures minimal body tint and allows the diamonds to act as optical modifiers, directing the eye to the emerald while contributing measured brilliance, the selection of high clarity indices for the trapezoids minimizes windowing and unwanted dark areas adjacent to the emerald girdle, the setting has been engineered to accept the trapezoid profiles with precise seat dimensions and minimal metal intrusion into the visual planes, this careful integration preserves the graphic lines of the composition, and the diamonds are mounted to maintain face up symmetry and to support consistent light return when viewed at typical hand positions.

The mounting is executed in platinum 950, the metal choice provides a dense, durable and color neutral platform that complements the vivid green of the emerald and the icy white of the trapezoid diamonds, platinum 950 is specified for its high density and low susceptibility to wear, this allows the setting prongs and gallery to be executed at the exacting tolerances required for a large step cut center, the fabrication reflects traditional lapidary and jewelry making techniques combined with contemporary precision, tolerances are held to minimal variance so that the emerald sits square and level with even pressure distribution along the girdle, the polish of the metalwork is matched to the stones polish to avoid visual dissonance between gemstone and mounting, the overall profile keeps the center stone elevated enough to allow light to enter the pavilion facets while maintaining a secure environment for everyday wear, the craftsmanship emphasizes longevity and maintenance access, so that the emerald and trapezoids can be inspected and serviced without compromising alignment.

Beyond technical specifications, the optical behavior of this composition symbolizes eternal love in several specific ways, the emeralds step facets produce measured flashes and planar reflections that read as steady and composed light, this restrained brilliance contrasts with the lively scintillation of the trapezoid diamonds, together they create a visual narrative of constancy and renewal, the vivid Zambian green of the center stone communicates growth, balance and enduring vitality, the very slightly included clarity conveys honesty and authenticity, small natural characteristics visible at eye level act as reminders of individuality and the real world nature of committed relationships, the platinum 950 mounting stands for permanence and structural integrity, the lab grown trapezoids introduce a modern component, representing intentionality and responsible choices in a partnership, at The Natural Emerald Company we curate this ring to be both a technical achievement in gem setting and a considered emblem of lifelong devotion, the precise interplay of faceting styles, color grades, and metal selection is intended to evoke a bond that is measured, resilient, and luminous across time.
