Three Stone Emerald Ring 4.98 Ct., Platinum 950

From the moment a rough emerald first revealed itself in the ancient alluvial deposits of Colombia, this gem began a journey that is part geology, part human care, and entirely a story of rare beauty. At The Natural Emerald Company we trace each piece we offer back to the mine and to the hands that recognized its promise, and this 4.98 carat emerald carries that lineage with quiet authority. C.Dunaigre certified, the stone speaks of Colombian earth and weather, of slow pressure and patient transformation over geological time, and of miners and local stewards who bring these treasures to light. Colombia has long been celebrated for producing the most vivid and saturated emeralds in the world, and the deep green of this piece still bears the echo of tropical forests and mountain rivers. The tale of its discovery and careful selection is part of what makes it more than a gemstone, it is a fragment of place and history that rests at the heart of a ring crafted for presence and reverence.

The gem itself is an emerald cut of impressive proportions, measuring 12.25 by 9.75 by 5.81 millimeters, a size that balances classical proportion and modern statement. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a detail that confirms the stone remains transparent and lively, inviting the gaze to travel into its step facets and discover depth rather than surface distraction. The vivid color saturation is immediately evident, a pure green that reads as both regal and natural, and the excellent polish allows each facet plane to act as a mirror that returns light with cool brilliance. The stone has undergone standard enhancement, a common and accepted practice for Colombian emeralds, and this is disclosed with pride and transparency in our certification. Every facet and table was considered during recutting and finishing, so that the emerald cut emphasizes the stone core, the geometric planes drawing the eye to an interior glow rather than simply surface sparkle. The result is a center stone that feels like a window into a verdant world, precise in cut, honest in origin, and certified by C.Dunaigre for authenticity.

The physical ring that cradles this treasure was conceived to draw attention rather than distract, set entirely in platinum 950 to accentuate the green without competing with it. On each shoulder sits a white trillion shaped natural diamond, together weighing approximately 1.40 carats total, approximately 0.70 carat each, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included in the VS1 and VS2 range, and a color grade of F. These diamonds are cut to channel light inward and toward the central emerald, their triangular faces acting like directional mirrors that direct brilliance into the step facets of the emerald and reinforce its color. The three stone composition is elegant and purposeful, the platinum prongs and open gallery lifting the emerald slightly so that it faces the viewer like a portrait, while the clean, polished band narrows subtly at the shoulders so that the gaze is guided naturally to the center. The setting allows light to enter from below and the sides, so the pavilion and table of the emerald are animated in daily wear, yet the hold is secure and thoughtfully engineered to protect the stone in everyday life. As a representative of The Natural Emerald Company I can say with conviction that this ring is more than an arrangement of fine materials, it is a narrative made visible, a Colombian heartstone enhanced by masterful cutting and balanced by bright white diamonds and noble platinum. For those who wish to own a piece that tells of place, people, and precision, this ring offers a clear and compelling voice.
