0.45 Ct.Tw. Emerald Accent Stones Bracelet, 14K Yellow Gold

This bracelet centers on two meticulously chosen gemstones that demonstrate restrained luxury and technical refinement, set entirely in 14K yellow gold. The primary green stone is fashioned as a rectangular step cut, a faceting style that prioritizes broad, parallel facets to reveal the beryl family characteristics rather than maximize scintillation. Step cutting produces a hall of mirrors effect, and in this instance the cutter has optimized the table and pavilion planes to emphasize depth of hue and even color distribution. The stone exhibits a medium to medium deep tone with strong saturation, consistent with high quality emerald material, and the cutter has maintained girdle thickness and pavilion depth within classical step cut proportions to preserve both face up color and durability. Natural internal characteristics are visible under magnification, typical for emeralds, but these inclusions have been oriented and cleared when possible to avoid interruptions to the table plane, ensuring the stone reads with vibrant color at normal viewing distances.

Adjacent to the green beryl sits a companion white gemstone cut to maximize optical performance in a small footprint, balancing the bracelet composition. The companion stone is executed as a brilliant oriented cut, with a crown to pavilion ratio controlled to produce optimal light return for its scale. Facet junctions are precisely aligned to maintain tight symmetry, and the table percentage has been selected to maintain a balance between dispersion and return, avoiding overly shallow or deep proportions that would reduce brilliance. Color grading for the white stone has been selected in the near colorless to colorless range, to contrast cleanly with the green without introducing warmth, and clarity selection favors stones with minimal inclusions placed out of the light path, so that the eye perceives maximum sparkle in ambient light. At this scale, polish and symmetry are critical, and the cutter has prioritized facet polish to reduce light leakage and increase scintillation.

The mounting and metalwork are executed with the same attention to proportions and longevity as the gem cutting. The setting style is low profile to sit close to the wrist, employing fine micro prongs to secure each stone while minimizing metal obstruction to the pavilion. Each prong tip is sculpted and burnished to reduce snagging, and junctions between the head and the ultra fine trace chain are reinforced with precision soldering and micro welding where appropriate. The chain itself is a delicate cable construction chosen for tensile reliability and a uniform visual line that complements the linear geometry of the step cut. 14K yellow gold was selected for its alloy balance that provides both a warm hue and sufficient hardness for daily wear, and all gold components are finished with controlled hand polishing to smooth facet intersections while preserving edge definition on the settings. The piece is hallmarked for metal purity, and all joins receive a final inspection under magnification to confirm prong integrity and chain continuity.

Ethical sourcing and traceability are integral to the selection and assembly of this bracelet, making it a responsible choice for the informed buyer. Gemstones are procured from suppliers who maintain documented chain of custody practices, and rough material origins are reviewed as part of our sourcing protocol to minimize environmental and social impact. For the white gemstone we adhere to conflict free sourcing standards, and for the colored beryl we favor supply chains that demonstrate responsible mine practices or certified artisanal programs, with documentation available upon request. In terms of aftercare, the bracelet benefits from the inherent toughness of 14K gold and the stability of a well executed step cut, but routine inspection of prongs and gentle cleaning with warm water and a mild detergent will preserve optical performance and metal finish. Independent gemological reports can be arranged for customers seeking formal grading, and bespoke adjustments such as chain length or alternative clasp preferences can be accommodated while preserving the technical proportions that define the piece. This bracelet is designed for those who appreciate nuanced gemological choices, exacting craftsmanship, and ethical stewardship in fine jewelry.
