Pave Emerald Ring 3.23 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent 3.23 carat pear shaped Colombian emerald, dimensions 12.58 by 7.96 by 6.08 millimeters, executed in a mixed brilliant cut to balance color depth with optical return. The mixed brilliant approach integrates a modified facet architecture, employing brilliant facets on the pavilion to enhance scintillation and step influenced facets on the crown to preserve and display pure body color. The proportions of length to width yield a classic pear silhouette with a generous table and calibrated depth that presents the stone decisively face up, while the excellent polish maximizes surface luster and minimizes light leakage. The emerald exhibits medium color saturation, producing a vivid green that reads clearly against the 18K white gold mount, and the slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level is consistent with natural Colombian material, where internal characteristics contribute to the stone identity without undermining visual performance.

Clarity and enhancement are treated with full transparency. The emerald is noted as having standard enhancement, a common and accepted practice for Colombian emeralds, applied to improve apparent clarity and internal light transmission. This enhancement has been performed in a manner consistent with trade norms, using stable, colorless mediums to fill surface reaching fissures and to stabilize the stone for daily wear, and the finish is compatible with routine jewelry care. Slight inclusions remain visible to careful inspection, and the mixed brilliant facet layout was selected in part to mitigate the perceptibility of these features, redirecting light across the internal planes to produce lively facet contrast and internal reflections. The combination of thoughtful cutting, exacting polish, and responsible enhancement yields an eye appealing gem that retains the natural character and geological provenance of Colombian emerald.

Complementing the emerald are white, round shaped natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.48 carats, selected for uniformity in cut, color F G, and clarity VS, to provide a bright, near colorless framework that enhances perceived color saturation of the green center stone. The diamonds are set in a refined pave arrangement along the upper shank, each stone matched for diameter and table alignment to ensure consistent brilliance and minimal color variation across the row. The VS clarity grade indicates minor inclusions that are difficult to resolve under magnification and invisible to the unaided eye, preserving clean white light return that frames the emerald. The mounting is fashioned in 18K white gold, chosen for its structural integrity and ability to lend a cool, neutral background that accentuates the green hue while securely anchoring both the primary and accent stones. The setting geometry optimizes light entry to the pavilion facets, and the prong and bead work is executed with precision to balance security with maximum exposure.

At The Natural Emerald Company we prioritize ethical sourcing and traceability for both gemstones and precious metals. The emerald originates from Colombia, and our procurement practices emphasize direct relationships with established suppliers who operate within local regulatory frameworks and who demonstrate commitments to fair labor practices and environmental stewardship. We document origin and treatment status for every emerald, and we apply rigorous third party gemological assessment when requested to corroborate provenance and enhancement disclosures. Similarly, the diamonds are sourced through channels that adhere to internationally recognized conflict free principles, and our gold sourcing follows responsible supply guidelines to the extent feasible. The result is a piece that not only exhibits meticulous craftsmanship and gemological quality, but also reflects a chain of custody and ethical considerations that matter to discerning buyers. For clients seeking detailed reports on treatments, sourcing documentation, or bespoke adjustments to cut and setting, The Natural Emerald Company offers transparent consultation and technical support to ensure full confidence in the purchase.
