18K White Gold Natural Zambian Emerald and Diamond Ring - 5.85ct Certified Emerald, AIG Report Included

18-carat white gold | Centre: 5.85ct natural Zambian emerald | Accents: 1.06ct diamonds (4 marquise-cut) | AIG Gemstone Report No. GEM2021022736436 | Hallmark: Au750



A substantial coloured stone cocktail ring set in 18-carat white gold, centred on a 5.85-carat natural octagon-cut emerald with AIG-certified Zambian origin. The AIG Gemstone Report (dated 27 February 2021, Report No. GEM2021022736436) confirms the stone as a natural emerald, Zambian origin, colour grade Vivid Green, with only minor oil/resin clarity enhancement (CEE(O) Minor - the best treatment grade after untreated). The emerald measures 10.56mm x 10.43mm x 6.85mm and is set in a four-prong claw setting. Four marquise-cut diamonds totalling 1.06 carats are individually prong-set in two pairs, one pair on each shoulder of the ring in a vertical stacked arrangement, adding significant diamond presence to the design. The gallery is open-work construction in white gold, allowing light entry from below and full inspection of the stone from the back.



Honest clarity note: this emerald carries significant visible inclusions (jardine) which are observable through the table facet. This is characteristic of natural emeralds of this size and origin, and the AIG certification as natural with only minor treatment reflects this. The stone's colour and carat weight are the primary value drivers. The photographic evidence and AIG certificate are the authoritative reference points - buyers are encouraged to review all images carefully before bidding. Inspections are welcome.



Photos confirm the ring is in good condition. The white gold mounting shows minimal wear, consistent with limited use. The rhodium plating is intact with no yellowing visible. Prongs appear secure and well-formed. The AIG certificate is included with the ring.
