Vintage 1.20 carat Colombian emerald 18k yellow gold ring

$ 7,800
A vivid Colombian emerald glows in a broad, satin-finished gold band with an almost signet-like presence, a modern classic in green.
Certificates:
A step-cut Colombian emerald of approximately 1.20 carats glows at the top of this ring, a bright, clear spring green that looks lit from within, its rectangular facets and clipped corners flashing in broad mirrored planes rather than scattered sparkle. Colombia is the source long associated with the finest emerald color, and here the stone is the whole story, set flush into the metal with no diamonds or ornament to compete. The gold climbs around the stone in smooth, sculpted shoulders and swells into a broad, tapered band with the unmistakable presence of a signet, its satin-brushed surface soaking up light softly instead of glaring. Crafted in 18k yellow gold and stamped with its purity marks, the ring weighs 13.66 grams, a solid, reassuring weight that gives it a quiet authority on the hand. Circa 1990, it reflects that decade's taste for clean, confident, minimalist jewelry in rich materials. A superb pick for someone who wants a wearable, everyday emerald with presence but no fuss, and who likes the look of a jewel set in plain, beautiful gold.

Beyond obsessed

I'll just start by saying that every piece of vintage jewelry in this shop is more beautiful than any other I saw in all of LA. Not only do I absolutely adore my ring, I had an amazing experience here as well. Basically the dream situation for a newly engaged gal!
