“No other shade of green matches the splendor of the rich and elegant emerald. It is impossible to compare a green glass to this stone; it is absurd to even call the sea or a colorful parrot ‘emerald.’” A popular non-fiction book from the first half of the 20th century describes the emerald with these effusive words. The green variety of beryl was already highly sought after in ancient Egypt, but the finest stones come from the famous mines of Colombia. The emerald adorning this vintage ring from around 1990 displays precisely this tropical colour and comes from Colombia. The gemstone is cut in the emerald cut and set on both sides between five fine brilliant-cut diamonds of very good quality. Upon closer inspection, one can see fine crystal inclusions in the radiant green stone; these are considered positive identifying characteristics and are poetically referred to as “jardin” (French for “garden”). The stone has also been treated with only a minimal amount of oil (minor oil). The ring features the emerald set in high-karat white gold. The diamonds on the ring shoulders are set in so-called “channel settings,” which hold the white gemstones on two sides, giving them an airy appearance and highlighting their brilliance. This also makes the ring a half-memory ring. Unfortunately, this means it cannot be resized. The ring came to us from Wiesbaden and is delivered with an independent appraisal certifying the authenticity of the materials.
