An exquisite antique emerald and diamond ring, dating to the 19th century. At its centre is a 0.3ct pear-shaped emerald, prong-set to highlight its lush green hue and vibrant saturation. Surrounding the emerald is a halo of rose-cut diamonds, set in closed-back and foiled rubover settings—a design choice typical of the Georgian and Victorian periods. Rose-cut diamonds, with their triangular facets, were highly prized during this era for their ability to glisten spectacularly in candlelight.
The heart-shaped bezel, formed by the emerald and diamond cluster, is attached to openwork shoulders with scrolling detail, leading to a smooth D-shaped band. While the ring shows evidence of historic repairs, including adjustments to the emerald’s original rubover setting and minor marks on the shoulders, these do not detract from its charm and character. Such adaptations speak to the ring’s enduring appeal and history of wear.
