Art Deco Target Ring with Emeralds & Mine Cut Diamonds

If you want a quintessential Art Deco diamond engagement ring, this one has to be a contender. Crafted in gleaming platinum circa 1925, this ring features a large Old Mine-cut diamond center with a halo of emeralds, known as a “target ring.” The central diamond is bezel set for a low-profile and comfortable setting, and the emeralds surrounding it are set in a channel. The tapered platinum shank is set with additional antique diamonds and features engraving on the sides, lending the ring a beautiful, antique appearance. While the target ring design is classic of the Art Deco era, these rings remain relatively rare, as they were expensive to create at the time. This one is given added rarity due to the emerald accents, as most were set with sapphires. Given that this ring is a period original, the emeralds used are calibre-cut synthetics, which are considered the preferred gems for their perfect match and even color. This ring was originally an engagement ring, but it has a chunky presence that could easily sit on the right hand as well.
