Vintage Platinum Engagement Ring with Colombian Emerald

This vintage emerald ring oozes elegance. Handcrafted in the 1950s, the platinum ring is one of the iconic settings of the time, using a trio of diamonds and milgrain to flank the center stone. However, all eyes are on the center stone, a natural Colombian emerald of fine quality. Emeralds are a type three gem, meaning they typically have some internal characteristics and inclusions, so the color and liveliness of the gems are of utmost importance. The gem is a lovely medium-green hue kissed with just a touch of blue, a classic characteristic of Colombian emeralds. It has the coveted “emerald glow,” which means the gem stays beautiful, with an inner glow, even in lower lighting conditions. This ring was likely made for the right hand, but would make a perfect vintage emerald engagement ring today!
