Solitaire Emerald Ring 0.39 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring from The Natural Emerald Company features a beautifully transparent heart shaped green emerald, weighing 0.39 carat, with dimensions of 4.63 by 4.88 by 3.57 millimeters, and a mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize life and scintillation. The gem shows vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, characteristics that immediately mark it as an attractive stone to the informed buyer. The clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a common and acceptable clarity tier for natural emeralds that preserves the lush green color and overall transparency. The stone originates from Zambia, a source known for producing intensely colored, well saturated emeralds with a slightly bluish green hue and good clarity, and this piece is set entirely in platinum 950, a dense and durable noble metal that complements the gem s color while offering long term wearability and hypoallergenic properties.

To an educated buyer the technical details matter, and this emerald delivers on several fronts. The mixed brilliant cut on a heart outline balances pavilion faceting for return of light with crown faceting that emphasizes color, which is important because emeralds reveal their most appealing character when cut to optimize color and transparency rather than simply maximize weight. The slightly included clarity grade means natural internal features are present, yet they do not materially interfere with brilliance or the gem s overall visual appeal at a normal viewing distance. Enhancement listed as standard indicates the stone has received a conventional clarity treatment, typically light oiling with natural oils or commonly accepted resin treatments, applied to minimize the visual impact of internal fissures without altering the intrinsic color or stability under normal wear. The excellent polish indicates precise lapidary workmanship, which enhances light return and gives crisp facet junctions, attributes that the discerning collector will recognize and value.

Beyond the gemstone itself the mounting and metal choice are deliberate for longevity and presentation. Platinum 950 offers a weighty, white metal foundation that anchors the heart shaped emerald securely in a classic four prong solitaire style, while its natural resistance to wear and corrosion helps protect the stone and maintain a bright white appearance without the need for frequent replating. The setting shown lifts the gem to allow light to enter the pavilion, supporting the mixed brilliant cut s performance, yet it also exposes enough of the girdle and crown to appreciate the stone s natural character. For care, we recommend avoiding steam cleaning and ultrasonic machines because conventional clarity enhancements can be sensitive to aggressive treatments, and instead advise gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water and a soft brush. Routine inspections and professional cleanings at The Natural Emerald Company will help preserve both the gem and the platinum setting, and we can provide documentation of origin and treatment upon request to support provenance and appraisal.

We offer comprehensive customization to transform this elegant solitaire into a truly one of a kind piece, and our workshop specializes in bespoke design so you can tailor form and function to your personal tastes. Options include changing the shank profile to a tapered or knife edge band, selecting a lower profile setting or a protective bezel to suit an active lifestyle, and adding diamond or sapphire accent stones in a halo or along the shoulders to amplify brilliance and perceived size without overwhelming the emerald s vivid color. You may choose alternative metals, including 18 carat white gold, 18 carat yellow gold, or 18 carat rose gold, each of which will subtly alter the visual contrast with the green tone. For a romantic or personalized touch we can add hand engraving or a hidden inscription inside the shank, and we can mill a matching wedding band to sit flush against the engagement ring. If you prefer a different silhouette we can recut or reconfigure the stone, however we will advise carefully because recutting can reduce carat weight and is undertaken only when the anticipated improvement in symmetry, brilliance, or stability outweighs the weight loss. For buyers who desire independent confirmation we can facilitate a gemological report from a reputable laboratory and provide high resolution imagery and CAD renders of proposed customizations before any work proceeds. Our team at The Natural Emerald Company will guide you through the tradeoffs of color, clarity, cut, and setting so that the finished ring is both beautiful and durable, and we offer sizing, lifetime maintenance services, and a written warranty to ensure your investment remains a cherished heirloom.
