Three Stone Zircon Ring 4.91 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 4.91 carat brown zircon, cut in a classic emerald cut with precise step facets and dimensions of 9.50 x 6.98 x 6.21 mm. The length to width ratio of approximately 1.36 preserves the traditional emerald cut proportions, producing broad, linear flashes from the large table and tapered pavilion facets. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, indicating minimal internal characteristics that do not materially interfere with light return, while the excellent polish further maximizes surface luster and facet definition. Color presents as medium intense saturation, a stable warm brown with subtle golden undertones that is enhanced by the stone being untreated, enhancement none, and by documented origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The step cut geometry combined with this degree of transparency yields a sophisticated interplay of light and color, showing clean facet outlines and controlled contrast rather than scintillation dominated brilliance.

The mounting is engineered for long term security and balanced aesthetics, set entirely in 14K yellow gold to complement the warm body color of the zircon. The center stone is accommodated in a robust bezel style seat with stepped bezel walls that secure the girdle and reinforce the fragile emerald cut corners, the bezel engaging the pavilion and girdle to minimize movement while maintaining a low profile to reduce snagging. Two white asscher octagon shaped natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.20 carats, clarity grades Very Slightly Included VS1, VS2, and color grade F, are integrated into the shoulders in precision cut seats, their step cut facet architecture chosen to harmonize with the emerald cut center stone and to add measured white light return without overpowering the brown zircon. All junctions are milled and soldered to specification to provide consistent metal thickness at stress points, the gallery geometry tuned to distribute impacts away from the stone girdle, and finishing performed to a high polish to eliminate burrs and potential catch points. This combination of conservative bezel retention, reinforced shoulders, and exacting craftsmanship provides peace of mind for daily wear, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the fabrication quality and gem specifications for discerning buyers.
