Vintage French 18k Gold & Mint Green Emerald Ring

A treasure from 1980s France, this exquisite ring, crafted in rich 18k yellow gold, features a design that is sure to make a lasting impression. The mounting is hand-fabricated and, while not perfectly symmetrical, shines with a beautiful aged patina.

At the heart of the ring is a 0.70-carat rectangular natural emerald, displaying a luminous mint-green hue with remarkable clarity. While emeralds are often known for their rich, deep green tones, this gem stands out for its vibrant seafoam color—a fresh, glowing shade that remains radiant even in low light.

The emerald is set in a hand-fabricated bezel setting, which keeps it low-profile and well-protected, while marquise diamonds flank the emerald, adding an extra touch of sparkle. In the last photo, you can also see the French hallmarks on the outside of the shank. 

This ring is a remarkable blend of artistry and history, making it a rare find; perfect for anyone who appreciates timeless elegance with a unique, storied charm.
