Three Stone Emerald Ring 3.08 Ct., 18K Yellow & White

This ring centers on a remarkable 3.08 carat pear shaped green emerald, measuring 13.30 x 8.64 x 4.95 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both depth and surface scintillation. The stone displays vivid color saturation, a hue and intensity that is characteristic of fine Zambian material, offering a rich, clean green with a slightly bluish undertone that remains lively under a variety of lighting conditions. The polish is excellent, so the table and facets present a crisp, reflective surface that enhances the gem's apparent transparency and color depth. Enhancement is standard, reflecting the conventional clarity treatments used to stabilize and improve the visual appeal of natural emeralds, and the overall presentation combines the classic elegance of a pear cut with the presence and face up area expected of a stone of this size.

Clarity has been evaluated at eye level and graded slightly included, a realistic and common grade for natural emeralds of this quality and weight. Slight inclusions in emeralds often act as a fingerprint of natural origin, and in this case they do not materially detract from the gem's transparency or its color brilliance when viewed face up. For the educated buyer this means an authentic natural character and natural formation history, rather than a glass filled or heavily treated appearance, and it supports the stone's value when paired with its vivid saturation and exceptional polish. The mixed brilliant cut is specifically chosen to balance the emeralds inherent pleochroism and internal structure, providing strong light return from the crown and a lively face up appearance, while the pear shape adds visual elongation and classic femininity for an elegant solitaire with shoulders.

Complementing the center emerald are white pear shaped lab grown diamonds, totaling approximately 0.60 carats, selected for their combination of E color and very slightly included clarity, graded VS1, VS2. These side stones deliver a high level of colorlessness and crisp contrast to the vivid green center, and the VS clarity range assures minimal visible inclusions, contributing to a clean, brilliant flank for the emerald. These stones are an ethical and technically excellent choice for accent diamonds, producing strong sparkle and supporting the center stone without competing with it. The mounting uses both 18K yellow gold and 18K white gold, a thoughtful bi metal approach that places warm yellow gold prongs around the emerald to enhance its natural color, while the shank and shoulders in 18K white gold maintain a contemporary bright white field for the diamonds. The result is a carefully considered metal palette that maximizes color contrast and durability, with secure prong settings and precise symmetry that reflect high quality workmanship.

Comfort, daily wearability, and long term enjoyment are integral to the design, and the ring band has been finished to ensure exceptional smoothness and a comfortable fit. The inner surface has been polished and rounded to a soft profile, minimizing friction and pressure against the finger for extended wear, while the shank thickness has been balanced to provide stability for the 3.08 carat center without excessive bulk. This creates a ring that wears flatter and smoother than many similar three stone settings, with a low maintenance profile that suits everyday use. For care, standard precautions for emerald jewelry are recommended, avoiding harsh cleaners and ultrasonic or steam cleaning unless advised after an inspection, and periodic checks of the prongs will preserve the integrity of the setting.

Overall this ring presents a rare combination of a large, vividly colored Zambian emerald with excellent polish, balanced natural clarity, and well matched white pear shaped lab grown diamonds, set in a considered pairing of 18K yellow gold and 18K white gold to maximize color and contrast. The natural origin, the eye level clarity grade of slightly included, and the mixed brilliant pear cut collectively create a gem of both aesthetic appeal and collector interest, while the VS graded E color diamond accents enhance brilliance without diminishing the center stone. The Natural Emerald Company stands behind the selection and presentation of this piece, emphasizing transparent information about grading, origin, and enhancement, along with a commitment to craftsmanship and wearability.
