Contemporary Emerald and Diamond Platinum Ring, 1ct Square Step-Cut Emerald

A square step-cut emerald sits low and centered, its parallel facet rows running in concentric bands that let the stone's green deepen toward the corners while staying lighter across the table. Baguette diamonds flank the emerald on both sides in a straight vertical run, set flush within polished metal bars that read as architecture rather than ornament. The stone's four-prong setting is minimal by design, keeping the emerald's outline sharp and uninterrupted rather than framing it in a halo. Diamonds total 0.25 ct across 8 baguettes, graded G color and VS1 clarity, cool and bright against the emerald's warmer green. The step-cut emerald weighs 1 ct, its color and clarity typical of the oiling virtually all emeralds receive. This restrained, linear construction is characteristic of contemporary platinum work that favors clean geometry over dense stone coverage. Excellent condition: no visible wear, loose stones, or damage to the setting.

Platinum, stamped PLAT.
