Exquisite Ring with a 3.01 Ct Emerald-Cut Diamond in Yellow Gold

Diamonds with rare cuts are a special treat. Modern brilliant cuts can be found everywhere. Unique cuts, however—such as the emerald cut of the large diamond in this ring—are much rarer and make a diamond a truly one-of-a-kind gift. The emerald cut is an octagonal cut that was originally developed—as the name suggests—for emeralds. It features a large table and is stepped on the sides. This allows the eye to glide very well into the stone. In emeralds, this allows the stone’s colour to shine through beautifully. With diamonds, it creates a truly unique play of light, as the wide facets of the lower section reflect light brightly and over large areas: With a very good cut, as seen here, the diamond shines brightly and uniquely. The diamond weighs 3.01 ct and has a slightly warm tint (Tinted White+ / K). Inside, there are very small inclusions (SI1) in the form of fine, light-gray specks. To the naked eye, without a loupe, these have no effect on the stone’s brilliance. The diamond is accompanied by an independent appraisal from Idar-Oberstein. Our goldsmiths have set the diamond in a yellow gold setting. It is securely held in place by four prongs running lengthwise along the finger. The two-part ring band is set with small, sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds to the right and left of the center stone before it crosses downward and joins to form a wide band. A small detail that makes this ring, not least, a perfect gift of love. All the diamonds in this ring come from vintage pieces of jewellery from the 1980s. We also sourced the gold from old pieces of jewellery. The ring was crafted entirely in Germany.
