The Gilded Emerald Ring centers on a 12.05 carat natural emerald cut diamond graded L color and VVS2 clarity by GIA. The diamond measures about 15.0 x 12.2 mm, with a length-to-width ratio of about 1.22. That gives it a broad and a very large look on the hand. Emerald cuts are step cuts, so the long, clean facets create the “hall of mirrors” effect, with flashes of light and large, open reflections rather than the small sparkle of a brilliant cut.

The diamond is held by four rounded claws and sits in a low, open basket. The band is a smooth, polished yellow gold with no extra ornament, so the stone stays the focus. L is in GIA’s faint color range, which means the diamond has a soft warmth. Yellow gold is a natural match for that warmth, so the stone and setting read as one tone. The clarity grade is VVS2, which means the inclusions are very hard to see even under 10x magnification. In an emerald cut, where the open facets show clarity easily, that is a strength.

This ring suits shoppers who want more than a substantial emerald cut. Since step cut diamonds cause inclusions to be more easily visible, the VVS2 clarity is high desirable for a solitaire like this. The ring is bold, stated, refined and chic. It works as an engagement ring, an anniversary ring or a milestone purchase.
