Fabulous Colombian emerald and diamond ring from the Retro period
Here is a truly fabulous Colombian emerald and diamond ring from the Retro period of the 1940’s that is spectacular to admire from every angle and truly like no other.
Exquisitely hand made in entirely in platinum, this ring has such an amazing solid feel to it that is also incredibly tactile thanks to the smooth sides and expert setting of the diamonds.
Sitting proudly in the centre is a magnificent natural Colombian emerald that measures 1.60 carats and shows why for centuries Colombian emeralds have long been regarded as the best in the world. Whereas many other emeralds from other localities will be to dark to see through or have far to many inclusions that spoils the appearance of the emerald, this one has such a magnificent transparency that allows not only the light but the eye to see all the way through the stone. Combine this with such a beautiful pure green colour that stands out even more set into the pure white colour of the platinum and the sparkle given off from the diamonds, and you are left with such an eye catching ring.
Then on the left and right hand sides set into an upswept design are six single cut diamonds and four round brilliant cut diamonds on each side that come together to total 0.48 carats. The time and expertise to set these diamonds in that angled section highlights the quality and craftsmanship of this ring and emphasises the ring design as a whole.
And then running parallel on the other sides are five baguette cut diamonds which total 0.90 carats bringing the total diamond weight in this ring to 1.38 carats making this ring sparkle so beautifully.
Measuring 12.5mm wide by 19.9mm long, it has the dimensions to make it always get the attention and admiration that it rightly deserves.
