Recently back from our GIA Graduate Gemologist, this gorgeous emerald ring has been certified at a $3,550 (over $3,200.00 USD)!!! Would make a GORGEOUS, unique engagement ring!!!

Absolutely stunning! Another super fine Estate piece to add to your collection, here is a captivating genuine emerald and diamond ring set in 14k white and 18k yellow gold!

Featuring one piercing bright green natural emerald step-cut emerald of approximately 0.79ct (6.5 x 4.8 x 3.12mm) set in a lush customized 18k yellow gold half-bezel, this emerald is grass green, with slight blue undertones and excellent clarity for a "type III" gem. It does have "jardin" (natural inclusions) typical of natural emeralds, but these inclusions do not detract from the beauty of the emerald, nor do they possess any black or milky white characteristics that are found often in emeralds. The emerald is transparent, meaning you can see through it, and its half bezel helps protect it from chipping, grazing, fracturing etc. which commonly occurs in emeralds, as they are a softer, brittle gem.

Adding FANTASTIC fire to the emerald are 54 round & princess cut diamonds that just sparkle incredibly. Set in 14k white gold, there are 40 tiny round brilliant diamonds that total approximately 0.21ct, with excellent Si1-I1 clarity and G-H color, and 14 larger princess cut diamonds of VS1-VS2 clarity & G-I color, weighing 0.35ct. The detailing in and around the diamonds is very fine, with every round brilliant being bead-set, and the princess cuts flawlessly channel set beside each other. The 14k gold running down in between the rounds and princess cuts is beaded and adds even more brilliance to this gorgeous ring!

All in all, the diamonds total 0.56ct and run down each side of the ring until the ring squares off to go around the finger. On the inside of the band below the diamonds is elegant trellis-lattice 14k gold work to help maximize the amount of light that can get underneath them. The band is marked 14k, and the 18k yellow gold has been confirmed by acid testing and our jeweler, and is stated in the appraisal. The half bezel has a brushed/rough finish on its outer sides, perhaps to mask what marks may appear due to it being a softer/higher karat gold, or simply, for detail.

There are few, if any details that have been missed in making this very fine, beautiful emerald and diamond ring. This is one of those rings you can't help but stare at 10 times a day! It's captivating, luscious and just waiting to be yours! If you're a May baby, treat yourself to an early birthday present. US Size 7; Sizable

Note: NEVER submerge emeralds in ultrasonic cleaners, nor wear them while using household or industrial cleaners. Do NOT clean them in HOT water, but rather luke warm water with an old, soft-bristled toothbrush. Gently "brush" the emerald - do not use force - and never soak emeralds in water of any temperature for longer than necessary (a quick dip, scrub & rinse should be all it needs). Soaking emeralds in ANY solution can cause the oils used to fill natural fissures to seep out, leaving your emerald more prone to damage, and exposing deeper inclusions that the oils fill. Oiling is a standard, accepted treatment for emeralds in the trade and when buying emeralds, assume that it has been oiled for its protection and enhancement. Oiling does not depreciate the value of emeralds, but damage cause by cleaners can severely affect the look and value of your emerald.
