Vintage ring with Colombian Emerald & Diamonds, c. 1970

Which jewelry lover has not experienced that a fine piece of jewellery can brighten up a dreary day! At least that's how we feel - the radiance of a well-cut diamond, the intense sparkle of a fine ruby or the deep blue of a sapphire brings light to dull days. We felt the same way when we looked at the magnificent emerald in this white gold ring. The clarity and intense color of the gemstone are reminiscent of delicious jelly, so clear and bright green is the natural emerald. Twelve small diamonds form the frame for the gemstone, whereby the goldsmith's work is completely subordinate to the fine gemstones. The central gemstone is shaped in the so-called "emerald cut", a step cut that appears as an octagon. It is characterized by a large table through which the eye can plunge deep into the wonderful emerald. Weighing around 1.40 ct, the emerald shows fine crystal inclusions and only very delicate growth characteristics, which attest to its natural origin and are referred to as "jardin" (French for "garden"). Its inclusions indicate an origin from Colombia, which has always been the source of the best emeralds. Its color is what you want from an emerald: intense, uniform and bright. The ring is a unique handmade piece from around 1970 and came to us from southern Germany. It comes with a detailed certificate from Vienna, which describes and confirms the quality of all the materials.
