The ring is set with a certified \u003cstrong\u003enatural Colombian emerald\u003c\/strong\u003e, mounted east–west in a smooth, sculptural platinum signet-style setting.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe design is strikingly restrained for the period, with a broad polished platinum band rising into a rounded bezel that holds the emerald low and securely across the finger. This east–west orientation gives the ring a particularly modern profile, while the weight and clean geometry are very much in keeping with interwar Art Deco jewellery in Vienna specifically, where architectural simplicity and statement gemstones were often favoured over bolder forms.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAt the centre is a \u003cstrong\u003e3.2ct natural Colombian emerald\u003c\/strong\u003e, accompanied by a full certificate from \u003cstrong\u003eGCS London\u003c\/strong\u003e stating Colombian origin with \u003cstrong\u003eminor oil\u003c\/strong\u003e. The stone has a soft light green hue and unusually good transparency for an emerald of this size, with only minor natural inclusions visible. It is an elegant, luminous stone rather than a dark emerald, giving the ring a refined and very wearable presence.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe mount is made in \u003cstrong\u003e950 platinum\u003c\/strong\u003e and bears the \u003cstrong\u003eAustrian platinum hallmark: a small moth mark with the letter W for Vienna\u003c\/strong\u003e, a control mark introduced in 1923.
