It is set with a magnificent natural Colombian emerald at its centre, round cut and weighing 2.2 carats. It is collet set and surrounded by a finely balanced halo of twelve bright old-cut diamonds, creating a classic and highly desirable late-Georgian cluster form. The emerald has been analysed by GCS gem lab in London and the ring will be accompanied by the full gemmological report. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eUnusually for the period, both the emerald and the surrounding diamonds are set in open-backed cut-down collets. This construction enables the stones to glisten in exceptional condition over 200 years later, avoiding the darkening and dirt build-up often seen in foiled, closed-back settings of Georgian jewels. As a result, the ring remains vibrant and wearable today, and would make an excellent antique emerald engagement ring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe emerald of Colombian origin, likely from the Muzo mines, displays natural inclusions consistent with stones of this age, while retaining strong colour and presence. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt has a moderate amount of oil, as is expected with emeralds, applied as a traditional measure to preserve the stone’s stability; this treatment helps protect against dehydration and visual disturbance over time while maintaining the integrity of its natural internal structure.\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px absolute bottom-0\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nThe diamonds are lively and well matched, with an estimated total diamond weight of approximately 1.5 carats.
