Core Gemstone & Quality Details

Main Stone: 3-carat lab-grown emerald (The focal center stone is cultivated via hydrothermal technology, replicating the natural emerald’s chemical composition and vibrant green tone. Lab-grown processes ensure consistent quality and eliminate the ethical concerns associated with traditional mining.)
Cut: Asscher Cut (a square step cut with beveled corners and parallel facets, 57 precision-cut facets that enhance the emerald’s clarity and create a unique “hall of mirrors” effect, emphasizing its lush color depth)
Color: Vivid Green (uniform high-saturation tone with subtle blue undertones, a hallmark of premium emeralds, free from dull yellow or gray tints that diminish value)
Clarity: VS2 Clarity (very slightly included, with minimal silk-like inclusions characteristic of emeralds—imperceptible to the naked eye, only visible under 10x magnification, preserving the gem’s translucent beauty)
Accent Details: Lab-grown diamonds (symmetrically set on the ring shoulders and along the band’s edge, forming a delicate halo that highlights the aquamarine’s clear blue hue)
Accent Stone Quality: D-F Color (colorless to near-colorless), VS1 Clarity (eye-clean), Excellent Cut (optimal light performance to complement the aquamarine’s soft blue tone without overwhelming it)
Overall Quality: The main stone is lab-grown (matches the color and clarity of fine natural emeralds, eco-friendly and conflict-free; no heat treatment or dyeing, maintaining authentic gem characteristics); accent diamonds are lab-grown (ethical, high-quality, and perfectly complement the emerald’s green hue)
Setting Material: 18K White Gold (polished finish, 75% gold content ensuring superior ductility and scratch resistance; cool metallic luster creates a perfect complement, intensifying the Santa Maria Aquamarine’s blue saturation)

Design & Craftsmanship

Asscher-Cut Custom Claw Setting: 18K white gold prongs are tailored to the emerald’s square Asscher shape—4 reinforced prongs (one at each beveled corner) securely hold the gem, with minimal facet coverage to showcase its step-cut brilliance. Prongs are polished to a smooth finish, with hidden micro-grips for long-term stability.
Sleek Solid Band: The 18K white gold band maintains a 2.2mm uniform width from setting to shank, with a high-polish surface that reflects light to complement the emerald’s glow. Its minimalist design keeps focus on the Asscher-cut gem, adhering to contemporary luxury jewelry standards.
Ergonomic Support Design: The band’s junction with the setting is reinforced with a discreet triangular structure to support the emerald’s weight. The inner wall is precision-machined into a contoured arc, fitting comfortably against the finger for all-day wear.

Wearing & Versatility

This 3-carat Asscher-cut lab-grown emerald ring fuses classic charm with modern ethics—its square silhouette with beveled corners balances sophistication and approachability, while the vivid green hue exhibits exceptional color consistency under all lighting conditions. The D-F color, VS1 clarity lab-grown diamonds form a subtle halo that enhances the emerald’s allure without overpowering it, and the 18K white gold setting provides robust protection while elevating the gem’s natural richness. As an eco-conscious luxury piece, it meets the demands of ethical consumers without compromising on beauty, making it a perfect choice for engagements, anniversary gifts, and high-profile events.
