Vintage French 18k Gold & Mint Green Emerald Ring

A treasure from 1980s France, this exquisite estate ring boasts a design that makes a lasting impression. The rich 18k yellow gold mounting is hand-fabricated; it is not perfectly symmetrical, but it gleams with a wonderful aged patina. Set in the center is a 3/4ct rectangular natural emerald in an alluring mint-green shade with excellent clarity. While emeralds are typically known for their deep green hue, this gem stands out with its vibrant seafoam or mint-green shade. Its exceptional clarity makes it glow beautifully, even in the lowest lighting. The emerald is bezel-set in a hand-fabricated bezel, keeping it low profile and protected. A duo of marquise diamonds flanks the emerald, adding sparkle. Note the French hallmarks on the outside of the shank in the last photo. A true blend of artistry and history, this ring is a rare find—perfect for those who appreciate timeless elegance with a unique, storied charm.
