✨ 3.53ct Emerald Cut | M VVS2 ✨

A serious size at an accessible price point. This natural emerald cut diamond is clean to the eye at VVS2, beautifully cut, with quiet warmth.

The M colour is the value play here. Set it in yellow gold and the warmth reads as intentional. Or halo it and the face-up size punches well above its weight.

Dimensions: 10.62 x 7.51mm.
Certificate: IGI

Available to wholesale clients for viewing on approval.

💎Brilliance – the white light reflected back from a diamond’s surface and interior.
🌈Fire – the rainbow flashes of color created when light disperses into spectral hues.

This is how a Ruby should look.
Rich, glowing, luminous red.

There are two key sources of fine rubies - Burma (Myanmar) & Mozambique. Burmese Rubies such as this one are becoming increasingly rare.
