5.30-Carat Natural Emerald-Cut Aquamarine Ring: Santa Maria Color in 18K White Gold with Three-Stone Butterfly Design

Core Gemstone & Quality Details

• Main Stone: 5.30-carat natural aquamarine (central focal point, sourced from Brazil’s Santa Maria—the iconic origin of top-tier Santa Maria Color aquamarines, renowned for unparalleled blue saturation)
• Cut: Emerald Cut (rectangular silhouette with beveled corners and step facets, 50+ precision facets maximizing light reflection to amplify the aquamarine’s vibrant brilliance and translucent icy glow)
• Color: Santa Maria Color (Vivid Blue) (uniform, high-saturation “icy sky blue” tone with subtle violet undertones—signature of authentic Santa Maria aquamarines, free from gray or green tints)
• Clarity: VS1 Clarity (very slightly included, with minimal needle-like inclusions invisible to the naked eye; only detectable under 10x magnification, ensuring the gem’s transparent purity and vibrant light performance)
• Accent Details: 0.8-carat total weight emerald-cut aquamarine side stones (matching the main stone’s cut and color, forming the “three-stone” structure) + 0.1-carat round-cut diamonds (inlaid on butterfly wings for subtle sparkle)
• Accent Stone Quality: Side aquamarines (Santa Maria Color, VS2 Clarity); Diamonds (E Color, VS1 Clarity, Excellent Cut—enhancing the main stone’s vibrant brilliance)
• Overall Quality: Main & side stones natural (Brazil Santa Maria origin, no heat treatment or dyeing—”untreated” certified); diamonds lab-grown (conflict-free, complementing the aquamarines’ blue tone)
• Setting Material: 18K White Gold (polished finish, 75% gold content for superior luster; cool tone amplifies the aquamarine’s Santa Maria blue depth, creating elegant contrast)

Design & Craftsmanship

• Three-Stone Butterfly Claw Setting: 18K white gold prongs are shaped like butterfly claws—4 rounded prongs secure the main aquamarine, while 2 delicate prongs each hold the side stones. Prong surfaces are engraved with fine wing veins, merging hold functionality with butterfly aesthetics.
• Butterfly Wing Engraved Band: The 18K white gold band is sculpted into spreading butterfly wings at the setting junction, with layered engraving mimicking wing textures. Small diamonds are inlaid at the wing “joints”, and the band tapers smoothly to the shank for comfort.
• Weight-Balanced Ergonomic Band: The band is reinforced at the setting junction and tapers gently at the shank. Its inner wall is arc-polished to fit the finger’s contour, ensuring comfort for long-term wear.
