Estate Platinum & Emerald Engagement Ring

Emeralds have always been rarer than other colored stones; we rarely see estate pieces featuring fine emeralds. This ring, made circa 1950, is a remarkable exception to the rule! The classic mid-century platinum ring mount features straight baguette diamonds flush set into the shank. The platinum cathedral ring rises to meet a yellow gold head, where the emerald is set front and center. The yellow gold prongs accentuate the green color of the emerald, making it stand out. This is a fine-quality Colombian emerald with a medium-dark green hue and a wonderful blue glow, characteristic of Colombian emeralds. The emerald is a classic, elongated emerald cut, which makes for an elegant presentation on the finger - truly an excellent emerald engagement ring from the era of Hollywood Glamour.

Details: mid-century 900 platinum ring with 14k yellow prongs set with 1.58ct emerald cut emerald (Colombia, oil only) and .20ctw straight baguette diamond accents (VS GH), circa 1950s.
