Antique Style Emerald Ring 7.58 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a transparent pear shaped emerald of 7.58 carats with dimensions 17.23 by 12.11 by 6.43 millimeters, presented in a mixed brilliant cut that balances depth and surface scintillation. The emerald displays vivid color saturation with an evenly distributed green hue characteristic of Zambian origin, and the stone has been evaluated at eye level as Very Slightly Included, indicating inclusions that are minor and do not detract from overall transparency. The polish is excellent, which enhances light return across the pavilion and crown, and the gem has undergone standard enhancement practices consistent with fine quality emeralds. The pear silhouette is classic and elongating on the finger, and the cut proportions were selected to optimize both the breadth of color and the perception of size without sacrificing optical performance.

Surrounding the central emerald, the design integrates white round natural diamonds in calibrated sizes to create a refined halo and supporting accents that enhance the principal stone without overwhelming it. The diamonds are presented in sets weighing approximately 0.25 carats, 0.46 carats, 0.80 carats, and 0.34 carats, with a combined approximate weight of 1.85 carats. Each diamond is graded Very Slightly Included with clarity grades identified as VS1 and VS2, and with a color grade of E, ensuring a cool, near colorless contrast that complements the vivid green of the emerald. The rounds are cut to deliver consistent brilliance and are carefully matched for color and clarity to maintain a coherent visual field around the emerald, with attention to symmetry and girdle thickness to support long term wear and stability.

The entire mounting is executed in platinum 950, a metal choice selected for its exceptional durability for everyday wear and its capacity to secure gemstones over a lifetime. Platinum 950 is a high purity formulation that offers notable density and resistance to wearing away, which helps maintain prong profiles and the integrity of bezel and gallery work through repeated use. Because platinum is less likely to thin or pull away under stress compared with lower purity alloys, it provides superior retention for prongs that hold a large center gem, and it also resists tarnishing and discoloration, reducing the frequency of refinishing needed to preserve the original appearance. The ring features a precision crafted gallery and supporting understructure, with pierced work that reduces weight while preserving structural strength, and prongs are dimensioned to hold the pear shape securely while minimizing exposure of vulnerable girdle areas.

This piece is presented by The Natural Emerald Company with an emphasis on provenance and craftsmanship, reflecting a combination of gemological quality and durable fabrication. The selection of a Zambian emerald with vivid saturation and Very Slightly Included clarity, paired with near colorless VS grade diamonds, was made to achieve a balance of color intensity and brilliance, while the platinum 950 setting was chosen to ensure long term stability and wearability. Routine care for the mounting consists of gentle cleaning with warm water and a mild detergent, and periodic professional inspection to confirm prong security and polish condition, which will support preservation of both the gemstone and the metal over time. The overall design and material choices make this ring suitable as an enduring personal item or an heirloom quality piece that retains both aesthetic appeal and structural reliability.
