Emerald and diamond ring, early 20th century. An extraordinary Colombian emerald, , with no treatment, forms the centrepiece of this ring, with a winning combination of bright, attractive colour and superb transparency. Faceted in a classic 'emerald' cut and bordered with circular-cut diamonds in a delicate millegrain border, the design is enlivened by the diagonal angle of the mount - a quirky touch that works beautifully. With light split shoulders, this ring balances classic yet quirky design, an excellent central stone, and wearability, making it a superb engagement ring, or simply a great addition to anyone's antique jewellery collection.
