Precious Vintage Ring with Colombian Emerald & Diamonds, c. 1955

In recent decades, numerous new gemstone deposits have been discovered and developed around the globe through luck and calculated research. In Africa in particular, many gemstones have since been mined that were previously only found in other parts of the world and usually only in small quantities. Rubies, for example, are no longer only found in Burma, but also in Madagascar and Mozambique, opals are no longer only found in Australia, but also in Ethiopia and emeralds are no longer only found in Colombia, but also in Zimbabwe and Zambia. These new deposits often produce very beautiful stones. And yet it is something else to own a gemstone from one of the classic sources. The color and beauty of emeralds from Colombia is usually unmatched. And last but not least, the long history and tradition of this special tropical treasure is only associated with such a stone. This ring demonstrates the special quality of such a stone. A frame of more than 1.25 ct of diamonds showcases an emerald from Colombia. The stone is shaped in the classic emerald cut, i.e. as an octagon in a step cut. The stone is not large, but very clear and has a magnificent color that immediately transports us to the rainforests where it was once discovered. The white gold setting speaks the design language of the late Art Deco period of the economic miracle. The stones are raised high above the finger and set airily next to each other. Nevertheless, they are not isolated, but form a compact, powerful, sculpturally designed flower. The ring was probably created in Germany. We discovered the ring in Cologne. The ring is accompanied by the independent certificates on the quality and origin of the gemstones. Eight sparkling diamonds frame
