Elegant Emerald & Diamond Platinum Ring, Paris c. 1980

The fine emerald in this ring floats as if on a diamond cloud, bright green and full of reflections. Five marquise-cut diamonds and just as many brilliant-cut diamonds of very good quality are arranged dynamically around the green gemstone, deliberately avoiding any symmetry to create a loose tension. The result is an unusually designed little jewel. The emerald comes from Colombia, which has always been the best source of fine emeralds. It is cut in the classic emerald cut and weighs 1.14 carats. A slight "jardin" of fine crystal inclusions shows the naturalness of the stone with good transparency. An independent expert opinion has confirmed the origin of the stone. The diamonds are equally high quality and have been graded as "fine white" and vsi. The setting and ring band are forged from platinum and are so skillfully restrained that almost only the gemstone arrangement is visible. The emerald, meanwhile, is held in place by yellow gold prongs. This is a classic approach, as yellow gold not only matches the color of the emerald very well. It is also softer and allows the emerald to be set more gently. The setter has to apply less pressure to the stone and the stone is therefore protected. We were able to purchase the handcrafted ring in Paris. Its hallmarks prove that it was also created in Paris. It is also in first-class condition - a real jewel in the colors of an eternal spring. The appraisals shown are of course included with the ring.
