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! This classic mid-century platinum mounting features sleek, flush-set baguette diamonds along the shank. The cathedral-style design rises gracefully to meet a yellow gold head, where the vibrant emerald takes center stage. Yellow gold prongs enhance the gem’s rich green hue, adding warmth and striking contrast.

This striking piece showcases a fine-quality Colombian emerald with a rich medium-dark green hue and the signature bluish glow that defines the finest stones from this region. 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.
