Estate Platinum & Emerald Engagement Ring

Emeralds have always been rarer than other colored stones, and it is uncommon to find estate pieces featuring fine emeralds. However, this ring, made circa 1950, is a remarkable exception! The classic mid-century platinum ring mount showcases straight baguette diamonds that are flush set into the shank. The platinum cathedral design elevates to meet a yellow gold head, where the emerald is prominently featured at the center. The yellow gold prongs enhance the vibrant green hue of the emerald, making it truly stand out.

This impressive piece features a fine-quality Colombian emerald with a medium-dark green color and a beautiful blue glow, characteristic of Colombian emeralds. The emerald is cut in a classic elongated shape, providing an elegant presentation on the finger. This ring is truly an exceptional emerald engagement ring from the era of Hollywood glamour. 

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