Antique Style Emerald Ring 1.18 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.18 carat pear shape green emerald, with precise dimensions of 10.73 by 6.43 by 3.25 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant geometry to harmonize brilliance and color depth. The mixed brilliant cut in this instance employs a brilliant style crown to disperse light and a modified pavilion faceting schema to reinforce internal light retention, producing lively return and scintillation without sacrificing the stone s saturated green. The facet junctions have been executed to produce balanced symmetry and a medium to slightly large table proportion, which allows the vivid color saturation to present uniformly across the girdle plane while the pavilion facets create focused flashes of light. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating inclusions that do not interrupt the optical performance or the viewer s perception of the stone at normal viewing distances, and the polish has been assessed as excellent, evidencing meticulous lapidary finishing that enhances facet crispness and minimizes surface diffusion.

Complementing the center emerald are natural white round diamonds set into the shoulder architecture, positioned to frame the pear silhouette and to provide calibrated contrast with the green center. The diamonds are specified as round cuts with individual weights of approximately 0.04 carat, 0.02 carat, and 0.04 carat, clarity grade VS, and color grade F G. These diamonds have been selected for their clean inclusion profile and near colorless appearance to maintain optical neutrality against the emerald s vivid tone. The setting technique along the shoulders uses tight, precisely seated beads and secure seats to align table heights and maintain consistent light leakage control across the accent stones. The overall effect is measured, the accent diamonds functioning as optical punctuation, increasing perceived center size and adding measured brilliance without overpowering the emerald s chroma.

The mounting is executed in 18K yellow gold, chosen for its warm tonal complement to the vivid green of the emerald and for the material s ductility which allows for refined prong and gallery engineering. The head is configured to minimize metal coverage over the table and crown facets while providing reliable mechanical retention, and the gallery area is contoured to optimize light entry into the pavilion facets. Craftsmanship notes include tight micro mill work at the seats to maintain consistent crown to pavilion alignment, and hand finishing that preserves the integrity of the polish on high wear surfaces. The emerald s enhancement is standard, consistent with responsible trade practice, and typically involves colorless clarity enhancement to stabilize surface reaching fissures, thereby maintaining the stone s optical performance. The origin is Zambia, which is known for producing emeralds with a bright, vivid green hue and strong saturation, and the pair of region specific qualities of color and crystalline structure are evident in this example.

Beyond the technical specifics the ring is conceived as a symbol of commitment that endures through serviceable design and considered material pairing. The pear shape orientation suggests focused directionality, a single converging point that can symbolize the meeting of two lives, while the mixed brilliant faceting conveys both scintillation and depth, each facet echoing moments of clarity and reflection within a lasting relationship. Over years of wear the patina of 18K yellow gold will softly warm the setting, narrating the passage of shared time, while the excellent polish and secure setting preserve optical integrity, making the ring suitable for daily affirmation of a promise. At The Natural Emerald Company we articulate commitment through measured material choices and precise gemological execution, and this ring is offered as a technical expression of devotion, an engineered heirloom that balances gem quality, setting security, and aesthetic proportion to mark a bond with both clarity and color.
