All auctions / Jewelry & Gems / Luxurious Vintage Emerald Ring with Diamonds in White Gold, c. 1980
Among the three major colored gemstones—ruby, sapphire, and emerald—the emerald holds a special place. Its unmistakable green evokes images of tropical forests, lush vegetation, and mysterious landscapes. For centuries, some of the most famous and sought-after emeralds have come from deposits in Colombia, where the stones are prized for their intense green colour. This elegant ring, dating from around 1980, features a brilliant emerald set in an entourage of white diamonds. The gemstone weighs approximately 0.80 ct and is cut in the classic “emerald cut.” The rectangular step cut, with its large central table, beautifully highlights the stone’s colour and depth. Held in place only by small prongs, the emerald appears to almost float within the flower-shaped ring face. White diamonds in brilliant and baguette cuts, with a total weight of approximately 0.84 ct, unfold around the emerald, creating a lively play of light. The interplay between the round, vividly sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds and the clean, geometric lines of the baguette diamonds enlivens the classic entourage setting and lends it a dynamic, modern effect characteristic of the era. At the same time, their bright luster creates a striking contrast to the deep green of the emerald. The settings and ring band are crafted from high-karat white gold, whose understated, light hue harmoniously complements the play of colours in the gemstone setting. In this way, the ring combines the timeless elegance of the emerald with the clean, self-assured design language of the 1980s.
