3.42ct Emerald Diamond Ring - $53,897 Appraisal

Updated August 8, 2026

A remarkable natural emerald surrounded by more than a full carat of natural diamonds — accompanied by an AIGL appraisal with an estimated retail replacement value of $53,897. Some pieces of jewelry are purchased simply to be worn. Others become the pieces we remember — an anniversary, a milestone, an engagement, a significant birthday, or an heirloom eventually passed to someone we love. This is that kind of ring. At its center is an impressive 3.42 carat natural emerald, measuring approximately 10.0 × 8.8 × 6.0 mm. The rectangular cut-cornered step cut gives the emerald the timeless, architectural appearance traditionally associated with important emerald jewelry. Surrounding the emerald are 30 natural diamonds totaling approximately 1.14 carats, including both square and round brilliant-cut diamonds. The diamonds are graded G–J color and VS2–SI2 clarity and create a brilliant frame around the rich green center stone. The entire setting is crafted in 14K white gold, providing a beautiful contrast between the emerald's green color and the surrounding natural diamonds. In total, the ring contains approximately 4.56 carats of natural emerald and diamonds. Accompanied by AIGL Appraisal The ring includes its American International Gemological Laboratories (AIGL) Appraisal Report, which identifies the center gemstone as natural beryl, emerald variety, and the surrounding gemstones as natural diamonds. AIGL ESTIMATED RETAIL REPLACEMENT VALUE: $53,897.00 The appraisal report is included with the ring. The $5,000 opening bid represents approximately 9.3% of the estimated retail replacement value stated on the accompanying appraisal.
