Emerald solitaire

2.38ct Zambian emerald · 18kt rose & white gold

Sold

A Garden in Green

A 2.38-carat Zambian emerald sits at the centre of this ring, its deep green framed by natural pear-shaped diamonds totalling 0.72 carats and 0.16 carats of diamond melee. A hint of pink sapphire and small mint-green emeralds add touches of colour around it.

The emerald's clarity enhancement is graded as minor oil, the customary treatment for emeralds. Handcrafted in Antwerp in 18kt rose and white gold: the white gold lets the diamonds shine, while the rose gold brings warmth to the green.

What comes with your jewel
  • 18kt gold or platinum only. Our goldsmiths make their own 18kt alloys from pure 24kt gold, with copper, silver and palladium in the proportions each gold colour needs.
  • Every piece is stamped with its material mark and the Laurence Ardies logo.
  • A detailed invoice listing the stones and the metal, which you can also use for your insurance.
  • A significant centre stone usually comes with an independent grading report, for diamonds mostly from GIA.
  • Delivered in our custom walnut box, or in a suede pouch where that suits the piece better, such as a bracelet. A care card can be added on request.
  • A lifetime warranty on craftsmanship: if a defect ever shows in the making, such as a setting or a solder joint, we repair it free of charge. Normal wear, knocks and accidents, stones lost after a blow, and work by another jeweller are not covered. Your invoice is your proof of warranty, and you are always welcome to have your piece checked.

Size and fit

Rings, necklaces and bracelets are made or adjusted to your size in Antwerp. Not sure about your size? Choose “Not sure, please contact me” when you order and we will contact you before we begin, or try pieces on during a private viewing.

Care & aftercare

Keep each piece separately in its box or a pouch, and take your jewellery off before swimming in a chlorinated pool and before household cleaning. To clean, use warm, soapy water and a very soft toothbrush, and don't forget underneath the stones: that is where oils and dirt collect and take away the sparkle.

Bring your piece by appointment and we clean it and check the setting, free of charge. Read the full care guide

Shipping & returns

Fully insured shipping with a specialised transport company, included in the price within the EU. Outside the EU, shipping is on request.

Your piece is handed over only to the person you name, who shows their ID on delivery. With their consent, we share a copy of that ID (and, if the courier asks, the buyer's) for this delivery only; we never keep it. Prefer not to? Collect your piece from us in person, by appointment.

Pieces made or adjusted to your size cannot be returned or exchanged. Earrings are delivered with a hygiene seal and cannot be returned once it has been broken. A one-of-a-kind piece delivered exactly as it is, or earrings with their seal intact, may be returned within 14 days. Read more
