Vintage 18ct Gold Emerald & Diamond Ring Size O
Bathed in the gentle lustre of 18 carat yellow gold, this elegant vintage ring showcases a slender emerald-cut emerald of the most beguiling green, flanked on either side by a single twinkling diamond. The clean geometry of the emerald cut allows the gem’s natural inclusions (the jardin) to tell their unique story, each one a fingerprint of the earth’s deep history.
Emeralds have long been treasured for their rich verdancy, a colour that Pliny the Elder himself declared to be “the most refreshing to the sight.” Cleopatra was famously enamoured of these gems, so much so that she claimed the Egyptian emerald mines as her own. In medieval Europe, they were believed to grant foresight, protect lovers from unfaithfulness, and even soothe the soul.
Weighing a satisfying 3.5 grams, the ring possesses a pleasing heft in the hand, with a band of generous substance that speaks to quality craftsmanship and enduring wear. The restrained setting reflects mid–20th-century refinement, where simplicity of form allowed the gemstones to take centre stage. The bright, icy sparkle of the diamonds serves to frame and illuminate the emerald, as though capturing a drop of spring’s eternal green in a halo of light.
A piece for those who appreciate timeless design, romantic symbolism, and the enduring allure of one of history’s most storied gemstones.
