14K Yellow Gold Emerald And Diamond Ring

Design Story

This emerald and yellow diamond ring brings together a classic halo arrangement and a more personal floral detail. A fine yellow diamond halo surrounds the vivid green cabochon, while four leaf-shaped prongs frame the emerald and soften the outline of the setting. The combination feels both modern and familiar: rich colour, warm yellow gold, and a design that has presence without becoming overly formal. We were especially drawn to the brightness of this emerald. Cabochon-cut emeralds often have a softer, more diffused appearance, but this stone shows an unusually lively green that gives the ring its character.

Gemstone Details

• 1 natural oval cabochon emerald, vivid green colour, SI1 clarity, GIA Type III, 2.89 ct; Zambian origin; oil only.
• 20 natural yellow brilliant cut diamonds, SI1 clarity, 0.25 ct tw; natural colour with no treatment.

Metal, Setting and Wearability

The ring is handmade in solid 14K yellow gold and weighs 4.90 grams. It measures approximately 10.5 x 8.5 mm, giving the top of the ring a generous but balanced presence. The yellow diamonds form a fine halo around the emerald, while the four leaf-shaped prongs add a subtle botanical detail and hold the cabochon securely. The warm gold and natural yellow diamonds deepen the richness of the green centre stone.

Gemmologist’s Note

Emerald is the green variety of beryl and is classified as a GIA Type III gemstone, so natural inclusions are expected and form part of its character. Zambian emeralds are often appreciated for their bright colour, and this cabochon is particularly lively for its cut, with a vivid green appearance that is less common in translucent emerald cabochons. The stone has received oil only, a traditional treatment used to improve the appearance of surface-reaching inclusions.

Handcrafted in our Toronto studio by Christian and Helen, this ring reflects our work as artisan-goldsmiths and gemmologists, bringing together natural colour, careful proportions, and an individual setting made one piece at a time.
