18K yellow gold ring with emerald and diamond

Introducing our spectacular 18K-gold ring with emerald and diamonds, an Art Decó inspired piece most likely made in the 80s’. With a 6 cts emerald and 18 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 1,15 cts, this ring is an elegant, glamorous, and sophisticated piece that stands out.

Octagonal and geometric, this ring brings together modern and vintage. Because the Art Decó style was modern and in some way, it still is. In bezel-setting, the octagonal emerald faceted in the cut that bears its name sits in the center creating a perfect harmony of colors and a perfect balance with the other elements of the ensemble.

Level-set with small rounded prongs, the diamonds surround the emerald encased in a fluted bezel radial pattern, offering discreet ornamentation and a sparkling shine to this robust and bold ring.

The “imperfections” observed within the emerald are called inclusions. Though they are common to most minerals they are even more so when it comes to emeralds and one of their main characteristics. Often known as “gardens” due to the “mossy” effect they appear to have, inclusions are the byproduct of other minerals and impurities’ presence during the mineral’s formation process.

Belonging to the Beryl family to which aquamarine, morganite, bixbite, and heliodor also belong, the emerald has been appreciated since ancient times and all sort of properties have been attributed to it. All the emeralds from the ancient world came from Mons Maragdus, currently known as Sikait, a mining area now belonging to Egypt that was widely exploited during the Roman Empire.

Striking, luxurious, sophisticated, and retro, this ring is ideal for those who love a vintage look, quality jewelry, yellow gold, and emeralds favoring large but comfortable pieces.

the size of the ring is 15/55 and weighs 15,5 grams.
