English Emerald diamond ring from mid 20th century

This English ring from the 1950s is crafted in 18k white gold, set with an emerald and diamonds. The emerald, identified as Zambian, is minor oiled and has no sign of color treatment.

The emerald exhibits a vibrant, rich green color with characteristic inclusions, which the French describe as a “jardin,” or “garden.” These inclusions resemble a natural garden within the green gem—a creation of mother nature unique to each stone. No two sets of jardins are identical, making them a distinctive feature that can even be used to identify individual gems. The white gold band is adorned with diamonds, giving the design an elegant, refined appearance.

The piece is in good vintage condition, showing normal signs of oxidation and wear. As condition assessments are subjective, please click and enlarge our photos to view more detailed condition aspects as part of your evaluation.
