Swoon: This big, beautifully-cut, emerald statement ring. The emerald is gorgeous at 3.02 carats; the color is rare as a well-saturated bluish green color; the cut is beautiful: a modified oval brilliant-cut.
We made a setting of solid 18K white gold adorned with near flawless (colorless) diamonds encrusted on a crisscross, cut-out design. This setting is one of our most labor-intensive.

Emeralds are from the beryl family of gemstones, with Morganite and Aquamarine as two of their siblings. Emeralds are a Type III gemstone, meaning they should have inclusions. The French call it, "le jardin" meaning the garden (of inclusions). Emeralds are priced by their color, first and foremost. Then their scintillation (glowing effect), clarity, carat weight, cut. These photos were taken in direct sunlight, for the closest depiction of color, clarity, and scintillation. This emerald exhibits a spectacular glow, color with transparent clarity. It is a gorgeous emerald.
