From Bogotá
When we first spotted this 2.4ct emerald in the rough stone market of Bogotá, it was merely a flawed piece of raw material. The emeralds from the Muzo mine in Colombia, whose green is a result of the combined action of chromium and calcium, have an incredibly difficult-to-replicate color spectrum.
Three Days, Just to Avoid Reducing Clarity
Cutter Master Chen spent three days on optical simulations. The fissures in the emerald are extremely sensitive; any angle deviation would lead to a reduction in clarity. The final plan retained 92% of the rough stone weight, resulting in a finished product with a more stable table proportion and a deeper pavilion.
The value of emerald does not lie solely in its color; it is in its ability to be preserved intact.
Arriving in Panyu
Upon arrival at the Panyu workshop, the finished piece enters the setting process. The gold material is bottomed with 18K yellow gold, with the four claws inwardly retracted by 0.2mm to reduce pressure on the waist. This stone was eventually handed over to the client in the form of a custom ring.
