Three Stone Emerald Ring 1.58 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.58 carat oval green emerald, precisely measured at 8.92 by 6.14 by 4.93 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant faceting scheme that emphasizes both color and light return. The oval proportions yield a length to width ratio of about 1.45, producing an elegant elongation without sacrificing symmetry. The cutter has applied a modified brilliant crown geometry paired with a faceted pavilion that optimizes internal reflection, resulting in a facet architecture consistent with modern mixed brilliant design and a total facet count in the range typically used to balance scintillation and flash. The pavilion depth relative to the average diameter is approximately 65.5 percent, a deliberate choice that deepens the path length for light through the body of the stone, subtly enhancing the emeralds light color saturation while preserving lively brilliance. The stone is set high in a four prong crown that minimizes metal coverage over the table and crown facets, and the open undergallery permits light to enter and exit freely through the pavilion, further enhancing brilliance and maintaining an unimpeded view of the precise facet junctions.

The faceting on this Russian origin emerald demonstrates exacting attention to facet junctions, symmetry, and polish. The crown facets are cut to produce even facet reflections that distribute the pale green hue uniformly across the table, and the modified brilliant pavilion contains well controlled main facets and star facets that channel light back through the crown, producing a balanced mix of broad flashes and fine scintillation. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, with inclusions aligned with the stone crystal structure that are typical for natural emeralds, and these have been managed by the cutter to avoid disruption of light performance across the principal viewing planes. Enhancement is standard, disclosed and consistent with industry practice for fine emeralds, and has been applied to stabilize surface reaching fissures while preserving optical continuity through the facet junctions. The polish is excellent, with crisp facet edges and mirror like facet planes that translate into high contrast and sharp reflections, and the stone shows tight symmetry from all viewing angles, confirming careful orientation of the pavilion keel and crown alignment during cutting.

Flanking the center emerald are white marquise shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.40 carats combined, graded E for color and Very Slightly Included across VS1 and VS2 clarity, chosen to complement the faint green without introducing color bias. Each marquise has been cut in a full brilliant pattern with precise point integrity and symmetrical bow tie control, engineered to align its longitudinal axis with the profile of the oval emerald so that the combined ensemble reads as a cohesive triptych. The marquise facets are matched in optical performance to the emerald by the setting geometry, which uses low profile prongs and minimal bezel mass to keep pavilion light admission high and to reduce shadowing at the junction with the center stone. The result is a calibrated interaction between the mixed brilliant center and the brilliant marquise sides, where the white diamonds contribute contrast, controlled sparkle, and visual balance, while the marquise geometry accentuates the oval silhouette.

The mounting is executed in 18 karat yellow gold, selected for its warm hue that subtly intensifies the emeralds green without overwhelming clarity or color. The band exhibits uniform section and a refined polished finish, and the prong work demonstrates tight seats, uniform prong tips, and secure collet support for the pavilion girdles, ensuring mechanical security while allowing optimal light performance. The gallery is engineered to provide a comfortable profile and to maintain a clean view into the pavilion for appraisal and everyday wear, and the entire assembly reflects the high quality craftsmanship associated with The Natural Emerald Company, where lapidary knowledge and bench work are coordinated to preserve the stone geometry determined by the cutter. For connoisseurs who value precision in faceting, proportion, and mounting, this ring articulates a technical narrative in which mixed brilliant faceting, calculated depth, and careful setting converge to reveal the best optical potential of a Russian emerald paired with high quality marquise diamonds.
