Three Stone Emerald Ring 0.66 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 0.66 carat oval green emerald, with precise dimensions of 6.20 by 5.03 by 3.74 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant design that reconciles optimal light return with color preservation. The mixed brilliant geometry applies a brilliant facet arrangement across the crown, including a well proportioned table and balanced star and kite facets, while the pavilion uses a modified step profile to control color saturation and retain depth without sacrificing scintillation. The result is a stone that exhibits lively internal fire when viewed face up, yet maintains a restrained, light saturation of green that reads elegant and refined. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, and inclusions are oriented and positioned so as to minimally interrupt facet junctions and light pathways, preserving a clean visual face up. The emerald has been given standard enhancement, a controlled treatment applied to improve apparent clarity and stability while respecting the stone morphology, and the polish has been finished to an excellent standard, creating crisp facet lines and minimal polish haze that enhance both brilliance and clarity perception. The origin is Russian, a provenance that correlates with a particular crystalline habit and a softer, silvery to bluish green tone that responds exceptionally well to the mixed brilliant cutting strategy.

Flanking the central emerald are white round shaped lab grown diamonds totaling approximately 0.36 carats, selected for high optical compatibility with the center stone and the warm yellow gold mounting. Each side stone is graded Very Slightly Included in clarity across VS1 and VS2, and carries an E color grade, meeting near colorless standards that ensure the diamonds read white against the gold and do not impart unwanted warmth to the emerald. The rounds are cut to tight symmetry and proportion, maximizing crown dispersion and pavilion return, which produces lively contrast and a crisp white sparkle that outlines the softer green center. Their calibrated diameter and low profile sit flush with the head design, creating a graduated lateral silhouette that emphasizes the oval axis of the emerald. The diamond settings are engineered to secure the stones with minimal metal intrusion into the light path, employing low profile prongs and anti rotation seats to stabilize the rounds, while preserving maximum table exposure to light. The technical pairing of mixed brilliant emerald with high quality round brilliants is deliberate, leveraging differing optical behaviors to produce a ring that reads both vibrant and balanced under varied lighting conditions.

The entire assembly is executed in 18K yellow gold with a focus on craftsmanship details that enhance both performance and longevity, a hallmark of The Natural Emerald Company. The head employs a four prong crown for the oval, with each prong shaped and tapered to engage the girdle at engineered points that minimize stress and provide even torque distribution, while the gallery incorporates openwork arcs to allow light ingress from oblique angles and to reduce weight without compromising structural integrity. Transitional shoulders are drawn and rolled to create a comfortable ergonomic fit, then soldered and hand finished to a high polish, ensuring the metal complements the stones without competing with their optical properties. All junctions are checked under a loupe for solder fillets and seamless joins, and all prong tips are burnished to eliminate sharp edges and to resist snagging on fabrics. The ring is finished using a sequence of mechanical and hand polishing steps to attain a consistent mirror surface on flat planes and a soft, tactile radius on rounded contours, a finishing protocol that both accentuates the diamonds brightness and frames the emeralds hue.

This piece is presented with a detailed technical dossier describing the gem parameters, clarity observations, treatment disclosure, and setting construction, supporting informed ownership and future servicing. The design philosophy emphasizes the conservation of the emeralds natural character through a cutting and setting approach that manages light and color while delivering day to day durability, and the pairing with E color, VS1 and VS2 lab diamonds adds measured brilliance that harmonizes with the yellow gold. As part of The Natural Emerald Company collection this ring exemplifies our commitment to precise gemology informed selection and meticulous finishing, a combination that will satisfy clients who appreciate both the science of cutting and the refined practicality of superior jewelry engineering.
